Job Description

Galileo is a fast-growing renewable energy IPP, investor and operator, currently in the very dynamic start-up phase. Since our foundation in 2020, we have secured a pipeline of over 17 GW of solar PV, onshore wind, offshore wind and storage projects across nine markets in Europe. We are looking for our new Senior PV Engineer, who will be critical in ensuring the technical robustness and execution efficiency of our Italian and European solar PV power plants from development through to the start of commercial operations. They’ll be dedicated to the effective delivery of engineering workstreams required to realize PV projects, both stand-alone and hybrid projects (PV + BESS). This person will be based in Milan (with the possibility of hybrid remote working), reporting to the Technical Director.

What You’ll Do

• Provide the engineering expertise needed to guide and support development, construction, operations, and financing/divestment of solar PV projects across various European countries (primarily in Italy).
• Conduct site assessments, feasibility studies, preliminary layout design and optimization, and risk analyses throughout the project lifecycle to support project development and execution; monitor project progress, identifying potential issues and developing mitigation strategies.
• Focus on post-permitting activities:
  • provide technical input during pre-construction planning and risk assessment; support or lead technical site assessments and constructability reviews;
  • provide technical support to procurement, including specifications and scope of work documents for EPC tender processes, bid evaluation, contract negotiation, and equipment recommendations and selection;
  • review and validate executive engineering design to ensure alignment with project goals, grid codes, and permitting conditions; conduct gap analyses between permitting documentation and construction-level design;
  • collaborate with project director and construction team to support the development of detailed construction plans and schedules;
  • contribute to the development of quality-control procedures and acceptance criteria for PV components and system installation;
  • in collaboration with the HSE manager, ensure the application of HSE best-practice during design and construction stages;
  • if necessary, support stakeholder communications, including utilities, grid operators, and regulatory bodies.
• Given that one of the company's objectives is to develop hybrid projects, being able to apply the above also to BESS projects would be highly valued.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering or related field – Electrical Engineering being a plus.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in post-permitting and construction phases of utility-scale PV projects working for an IPP, EPC contractor, or owner’s engineering firm.
• Proven track record in technical specification development, executive design review, and EPC support.
• Knowledge of BESS standalone and hybrid systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with grid connection processes, including interconnection studies, grid code compliance, and coordination with TSO/DSO is a plus.
• Project management mindset, strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a multicultural team environment, across topics and markets in an organised, strategic and value-adding way.
• Fluent in English and in Italian.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation: 80,000 - 100,000 € gross annual total compensation package, composed of fixed gross annual salary (RAL) and annual performance bonus, based on experience, skills and role responsibilities.
• Collective agreement: Quadro CCNL Commercio.
• Comprehensive healthcare screening and healthcare insurance.
• Flexibility: a hybrid remote-working policy designed for autonomy and outcomes — plus a strong Diversity & Inclusion focus to support different needs and life situations.
• Growth: continuous learning & development opportunities and a supportive environment that fosters initiative and ownership.
