Nexus Analytica is an international energy and digitalization consultancy specializing in renewable energy, power systems, and smart grid solutions. The company supports governments, utilities, and private sector clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in developing and implementing large-scale energy infrastructure projects, including solar PV, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and digital energy platforms such as NexusGRID.
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Solar PV Design Engineer to lead the technical design and engineering of utility-scale solar PV and hybrid (PV + BESS) projects. The role combines advanced engineering design, technical leadership, and project coordination, supporting projects from early-stage feasibility through detailed design, procurement, and commissioning.
The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in utility-scale solar PV systems, including fixed-tilt and tracker-based designs, and experience working with utilities, transmission system operators, or large industrial clients.
Key Responsibilities
1. Project Design & Engineering
Lead the design and optimization of utility-scale solar PV systems, including fixed-tilt and single-axis tracker configurations
Develop plant layouts, electrical designs (DC/AC), and grid integration concepts
Perform energy yield assessments and performance modeling using tools such as PVsyst, PVcase, Helioscope, and AutoCAD
Conduct system sizing, cable routing, inverter selection, and loss analysis
Integrate BESS into PV plant designs, including sizing, dispatch logic, and hybrid control concepts
Apply value engineering principles to optimize CAPEX, OPEX, and system performance
2. Technical Project Management
Support and oversee the full project lifecycle: feasibility studies, conceptual design, tendering, detailed engineering, and commissioning
Coordinate with internal teams (digital, grid, SCADA, regulatory) and external stakeholders (developers, EPCs, utilities)
Review and align technical specifications, employer’s requirements, and tender documents
Contribute to technical due diligence and bankability assessments for investors and lenders
3. Grid Integration & System Studies
Support grid connection studies, including load flow, short-circuit, and dynamic performance considerations
Ensure compliance with grid codes, interconnection requirements, and utility standards (e.g., LVRT/HVRT, reactive power, frequency response)
Coordinate with grid and power system experts for hybrid system integration (PV + BESS)
4. Technical Leadership
Act as a technical reference point for solar PV design within Nexus Analytica
Mentor and guide junior engineers and analysts
Contribute to the development of internal design standards, tools, and methodologies
Support innovation in digitalization, optimization, and performance monitoring
5. Quality Assurance & Compliance
Review and approve design documents, drawings, simulations, and engineering reports
Ensure compliance with international standards (IEC, IEEE) and project-specific technical requirements
Support site assessments, commissioning, and performance validation
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or related field
Minimum 5–8 years of experience in solar PV engineering, with a focus on utility-scale projects
Proven experience in designing large-scale PV plants (ground-mounted and tracker systems)
Strong proficiency in PVsyst, AutoCAD, PVcase, Helioscope, or similar tools
Solid understanding of:
Electrical design (DC/AC systems, protection, grounding)
Grid integration and interconnection requirements
Solar resource assessment and performance modeling
Experience with BESS and hybrid PV systems is highly desirable
Familiarity with SCADA systems, plant monitoring, and digital energy platforms is a plus
Strong project management and coordination skills
Excellent communication skills in English
What We Offer
Opportunity to work on high-impact international energy projects with governments, utilities, and development institutions
Exposure to cutting-edge projects in solar PV, BESS, and digital energy systems
A dynamic, multidisciplinary environment combining engineering, digitalization, and policy
Career growth into technical leadership and project management roles
