As an electrical engineer in the field of utility solar energy, you will play a key role in the planning,

installation and commissioning of large photovoltaic (PV) systems. Your focus will be on DC and

medium-voltage systems.

Responsibilities:

• Planning and design: developing and designing the electrical systems of PV installations, in

particular DC and medium-voltage components including transformer stations, according to

local requirements (Europe mainly Germany) taking efficiency and safety into account.

• Technical calculations: Carrying out load flow, short-circuit and protection calculations for

DC and medium-voltage systems to ensure the stability and safety of the systems.

• Project management and coordination: Liaising with internal and external project teams, site

managers and subcontractors.

• Monitoring and quality control: Ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards in

accordance with national and international standards (e.g. DIN, IEC).

• Commissioning and testing: Support with the commissioning, calibration and testing of

electrical systems; implementation and documentation of acceptance tests.

• Documentation and reporting: Preparing technical documentation, calculations, reports and

protocols, as well as maintaining and updating project documentation.

• Planning of systems and grid connections

• Planning and dimensioning of systems (inverters, transformers up to the feed-in point)

• Dimensioning of cables (DC and AC) up to the feed-in point (cable route)

• Planning of SLD, communication, monitoring

• Legal planning and technical support of the project up to commissioning

• Support with applications up to approval

• Experience in carrying out formal enquiries and applications for grid connection of PV

systems in cooperation with the relevant grid operator

• Experience with AutoCAD, PVSyst and PVcase or Helios 3D

• Calculation and planning of earthing concepts

Qualifications:

• M.Sc. / Diploma in electrical engineering or a comparable qualification.

• Experience: Professional experience in the planning and realisation of solar energy power

plants, especially in the areas of DC and medium voltage.

• Expertise: Sound knowledge of DC and medium voltage systems, including relevant safety

and installation standards.

• Technical understanding: experience with common electrical design tools and software,

e.g. AutoCAD or PVSyst.

• Analytical skills: Ability to analyse technical problems and develop efficient solutions.

• Communication: Excellent communication skills (minimum English, German) and the ability

to convey complex technical concepts to various stakeholders.

• Flexibility and mobility: Willingness to travel for work and occasional field work on

construction sites, driving license B.
