Project Design & Technical Development
- Develop technical designs for photovoltaic projects, including system layouts, electrical diagrams, and equipment selection.
- Perform energy yield assessments and production simulations using industry-standard software.
- Conduct site assessments and technical due diligence to support project feasibility studies.
- Prepare technical documentation required for project development, permitting, and grid connection applications.
- Review technical constraints and propose optimized engineering solutions aligned with customer requirements and project objectives.
- Support business development activities by providing technical input for proposals, tenders, and client presentations.
Engineering & Detailed Design
- Produce and review detailed engineering packages, including:
- Cable sizing calculations
- Protection and coordination studies
- Structural integration concepts
- Ensure compliance with applicable standards, regulations, and Greenvolt Group engineering guidelines.
- Coordinate with external engineering consultants when required.
- Validate equipment specifications and technical datasheets.
- Support technology selection and value engineering initiatives to improve project performance and competitiveness.
Project Execution Support
- Provide technical support to construction and site teams during project execution.
- Review Requests for Information (RFIs) and resolve engineering-related issues during construction.
- Participate in technical meetings with contractors, suppliers, and stakeholders.
- Review as-built documentation and ensure consistency with approved designs.
- Support commissioning activities and technical acceptance testing.
Technical Coordination & Stakeholder Management
- Collaborate with internal teams (business development, procurement, project management, and operations) to ensure efficient project delivery.
- Coordinate with Distribution System Operators (DSOs), regulatory authorities, and external engineering partners.
- Support supplier and vendor technical evaluations.
- Act as a technical reference throughout the project lifecycle.
Compliance, Quality & Innovation
- Ensure engineering designs comply with local regulations, grid requirements, safety standards, and internal procedures.
- Stay informed on industry developments, new technologies, and engineering best practices in the renewable energy sector.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering standards, tools, and processes.
- Support the implementation of innovative solutions that enhance project efficiency, safety, and performance.
Operation & Maintenance Support
- Provide engineering support during the transition from construction to operational phases.
- Assist in troubleshooting technical issues affecting project performance.
- Support performance analysis and optimization initiatives for operational PV assets.
- Contribute to technical documentation updates and lessons-learned processes.
Reporting & Documentation
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date engineering documentation throughout all project phases.
- Prepare technical reports, calculations, and design reviews.
- Support internal and external audits by providing engineering documentation and evidence of compliance.
- Communicate project progress and technical risks to relevant stakeholders.
