Solar PV Mechanical Engineer

ph3Your mission /h3 pAs a PV Technical Project Engineer you will support the construction of utility-scale Solar PV projects across Italy, Germany and other European countries. /p pThe role will act as an owner-side technical support function within the Project Delivery team and will focus on constructability review, civil and mechanical execution support, technical coordination, and EPC oversight throughout the lifecycle of utility-scale PV projects from RtB to COD. /p pThis is not a pure design engineering role and not a site management position. Instead, the position is intended for a technically strong and practically minded engineer with broad exposure to the construction of large-scale solar PV projects and a strong understanding of how engineering decisions translate into construction execution. /p pThe successful candidate will work closely with Project Managers, EPC contractors, external consultants, and engineering teams to support technically sound and practically executable project delivery across multiple countries and project environments. /p pThe role is ideally suited for candidates with a background in civil or mechanical engineering who combine consulting or technical advisory experience with hands‑on EPC or construction execution exposure within the utility‑scale solar PV sector. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 h3Technical Project Support /h3 ul liSupport Project Managers and the Head of Project Delivery on technical matters throughout project execution from RtB to COD. /li liAct as an owner-side technical counterpart to EPC contractors and technical advisors during project construction. /li liSupport multiple projects and PM teams simultaneously across different European markets. /li liParticipate in technical coordination during development handover, pre-construction, construction, commissioning, and handover phases. /li /ul h3Constructability Technical Review /h3 ul liReview civil and mechanical design packages from a constructability and execution perspective. /li liReview and comment on: ul ligrading and earthworks concepts; /li liaccess roads and cable trenching layouts; /li lifoundation and piling concepts; /li litracker and mounting system layouts; /li liinstallation and connection concepts for inverters transformer stations and BESS systems. /li /ul /li liIdentify technical risks, constructability concerns, and execution challenges at an early stage. /li liReview geotechnical reports, pile testing results, and foundation-related technical documentation. /li liSupport evaluation of alternative technical solutions and value engineering proposals where appropriate. /li /ul h3Construction EPC Support /h3 ul liParticipate in periodic site visits and support critical construction phases on site where required. /li liSupport resolution of technical and execution-related issues during construction. /li liParticipate in EPC coordination meetings, technical workshops, commissioning meetings, and handover inspections. /li liSupport technical interface coordination between EPC contractors, suppliers, consultants, and internal stakeholders. /li liEscalate critical technical concerns and execution risks to the Project Delivery team where required. /li /ul h3International Project Delivery /h3 ul liSupport projects across Germany, Italy, and additional European markets. /li liWork within international and multicultural project teams. /li liCoordinate remotely with local project teams, contractors, and consultants across different countries and jurisdictions. /li liSupport continuous improvement, lessons learned, and standardisation initiatives within the Project Delivery function. /li /ul h3Your profile /h3 h3Professional Experience /h3 ul liMinimum of 6 years of experience within the utility-scale solar PV sector. /li liExperience from both: ul litechnical/engineering advisory or consultant environments; and /li liEPC, construction execution, or owner-side project delivery environments. /li /ul /li liProven experience in technical support, engineering review, or constructability-related functions during the construction of utility-scale PV projects. /li liExperience working on utility-scale solar PV projects of at least 20 MWp+, ideally 50 MWp+. /li liExperience working with international EPC contractors and multicultural project teams. /li /ul h3Competitive Plus /h3 ul liExperience with owner’s engineer, technical advisor, or independent engineering functions (Strong advantage). /li liExposure to projects in Germany and/or Italy. /li liExperience with BESS installation or hybrid PV+BESS projects. /li /ul h3Technical Competencies /h3 ul liStrong understanding of civil and mechanical installation aspects of utility-scale PV construction.
