Job Description

The Engineering Manager represents the technical foundation of Enfinity’s development activities, playing a critical role in transforming early-stage opportunities into technically robust, bankable, and construction-ready projects.

This position is responsible for leading the Development Engineering function and acting as the key technical interface between the Development team and PVI, Enfinity’s external engineering partner. The role ensures that development requirements are effectively translated into clear and comprehensive engineering scopes, securing timely, high-quality deliverables that align with Enfinity’s standards. Engineering assumptions defined during this phase are essential, as they directly feed into financial models—including CAPEX, P50/P90 estimates, losses, and availability—and lay the groundwork for subsequent pre-construction design phases.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical leadership for development

• Provide engineering support to the Development team from site screening through ready-to-build.

• Deliver preliminary layouts and energy-yield estimates, grid-connection feasibility and single-line diagrams.

• Provide technical input for permitting submissions and environmental studies; run constructability assessments and site visits.

• Review and challenge technical assumptions used in financial models (CAPEX, P50/P90, losses, availability).

• Identify, assess and mitigate technical risks to ensure projects remain bankable, constructible and commercially viable.

Support project approvals, investments and acquisitions through technical inputs and risk assessments.

Nexus with PVI (external engineering partner)

• Act as the primary engineering interface between Development and PVI.

• Translate development requirements into clear, prioritised engineering scopes for PVI.

• Plan and manage PVI’s workload on development-stage deliverables: schedules, milestones and quality gates.

• Review PVI deliverables and ensure they meet Enfinity standards before they reach Development or external stakeholders; escalate scope, quality or capacity issues to the Head of Engineering.

Process, standards & handover

• Maintain and evolve Enfinity’s development-stage engineering standards, templates and design criteria.

• Ensure consistent handover packages from Development Engineering to Pre-Construction Engineering.

• Incorporate field learning into development-stage engineering processes, design criteria and technical assumptions.

Team & stakeholder management

• Lead, coach and grow the internal Development Engineering team.

• Coordinate with Pre-Construction, BESS Engineering, Permitting, Grid and Land teams to ensure technical alignment.

• Degree in Industrial, Electrical or Energy Engineering
• 7-10 years in the renewable energy sector, with strong exposure to PV utility-scale projects (BESS exposure a plus)
• Significant experience in development-stage engineering: layouts, yield, grid connection, feasibility
• Experience managing or coordinating external engineering consultants / firms
• Previous people-management experience (small to mid-size teams)
• Project management certification is a plus
• PVsyst / design-tool proficiency valued
• Strong technical judgement — knows when development-stage detail is sufficient and when it is not
• Excellent organization and prioritization
• Effective communicator who bridges developers (commercial mindset) and engineers (technical mindset)
• Solid command of design tools (PVsyst, AutoCAD, GIS) and familiarity with energy modelling

• Private Health Insurance
• Pension Plan
• Paid Time Off
• Work From Home
• Training & Development
• Performance Bonus
