Engineering & Design Specialist

at  Svea Solar Sweden

The Utility business unit at Svea Solar is responsible for utility-scale (i.e., very large!) projects. Our solar park portfolio includes Fjällskär (20.7 MW), Sjöbo (18 MW), Hörby (18.2 MW) and others, accounting for 49 MW of operational assets and another 54 MW of assets under construction, including an agrivoltaic park construction in Hova.
With the increasing volume of operations, we are now looking for an Engineering & Design Specialist.

THE ROLE

You’ll be a part of the Svea Solar Utility Engineering team led by Josef Carlson. As an Engineering & Design Specialist, you’ll be working on the design, engineering, and planning of our solar parks from start to finish.
You’ll work together with a team that has built Sweden’s largest solar parks with expertise in solar energy simulation, engineering & design, solar park optimization, sales, grid connection, project leading, and solar park construction. Together, we’ll iterate on the best solutions for how we design our parks.

But what should I actually do? Well, here is a good old bullet-point list to illustrate your main scope of responsibilities:

• Designing solar parks (1-100 MW) in Sweden and abroad to maximize energy yield (MWh) and overall profitability by using Civil3D, PVsyst, and custom plug-ins.
• Analyzing and optimizing site-specific conditions such as topography to make life easier for project managers and site managers.
• Supporting project managers with relevant documentation according to requests from customers and Svea Solar standards.
• Finding ways to increase the yield and profitability of our solar parks by researching novel technologies such as Single Axis Trackers & AgriPV.

To succeed in this role, we hope your experience contains:

• Completed technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems or similar engineering degree.
• About two years of practical professional experience in a technical role, such as Technical Project Designer, Design Engineer, GIS Specialist and similar (examples in Swedish: elkonstruktör, projektör, fältgeotekniker, lantmätare).
• Good knowledge of AutoCAD (or similar CAD tools) and Excel.
• It would be a plus if you worked with electrical systems and/or the energy sector or have some experience working on-site
