What you will be doing

To anchor our leading market position, we are looking for a motivated Junior Solar Energy Engineer to join our team based in Brussels.

In this role, you will be delighting our clients (developers, IPPs, banks, investors etc.) with your energy yield estimations for utility scale solar PV projects while gradually getting trained in performing feasibility studies, either from the office or during site inspections.

Your main tasks will be:

• You will perform energy yield calculations using industry-recognised software tools and internal tools and processes.
• You will analyse the results.
• You will produce the client reports.
• You will perform technical feasibility studies.
  
• You will perform site inspections before, during and after construction of the projects.
• Over time, you will also start interacting directly with customers, written as well as verbally.

You will work within the core of our solar resource assessment knowledge centre which will give you all at hand to quickly explore the wonderful solar PV world. At first, you will work as an expert on a project managed by one of your colleagues and gradually you will be taking the role of project manager yourself.

You will be reporting within our EMEA team which is a combination of Due Diligence experts, Owner's Engineers and Resource Assessment experts.

• Other languages (e.g. Spanish).

We will make sure you are onboarded within our team, teaching you all in-and-outs of the role.
