As part of its continued expansion across the European market, the company is strengthening its regional engineering capabilities to support the growing demand for utility‑scale photovoltaic projects and advanced solar tracker technologies. Job Role The European Technical Team Leader will be responsible for leading the engineering, design, and technical delivery of utility‑scale ground‑mounted photovoltaic projects across Europe. This role oversees a team of structural, civil, and geotechnical engineers while ensuring that all project designs comply with European engineering standards, technical specifications, and project delivery timelines. The successful candidate will serve as the key technical bridge between European project teams and the company's headquarters, supporting multiple projects simultaneously while providing expertise in solar tracker systems, foundation engineering, structural calculations, and geotechnical assessments. This position is ideal for experienced photovoltaic engineering professionals with strong leadership capabilities and deep expertise in utility‑scale solar infrastructure. Key Responsibilities Lead and manage a team of structural, civil, and geotechnical engineers across multiple photovoltaic projects within Europe. Oversee the engineering design and technical delivery of utility‑scale ground‑mounted solar projects, including photovoltaic tracker systems and mounting structures. Review and validate structural calculations, foundation designs, pile‑driving strategies, and geotechnical assessments to ensure project integrity and compliance. Coordinate engineering activities across multiple concurrent projects while maintaining quality standards and delivery schedules. Provide technical guidance and engineering support throughout project development, design optimisation, and implementation phases. Ensure compliance with Eurocodes, local engineering regulations, project specifications, and industry best practices. Collaborate closely with manufacturing, R&D, and project management teams to support product adaptation and project execution requirements. Review technical documentation, engineering reports, and project deliverables to ensure accuracy and consistency. Support problem‐solving activities related to structural design, foundation performance, geotechnical challenges, and project execution risks. Act as the primary technical liaison between European operations and headquarters, facilitating effective cross‑border communication and collaboration. Requirements Bachelor's Degree or above in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or related engineering disciplines. Minimum 8 years of engineering experience within the utility‑scale photovoltaic (PV) industry, with strong exposure to ground‑mounted solar projects across Europe. Proven hands‑on experience designing photovoltaic tracker systems, fixed‑tilt mounting structures, piling systems, and associated civil and structural engineering works. Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously within complex project environments. Strong expertise in solar tracker engineering, structural load calculations, wind load analysis, mounting structure optimisation, and utility‑scale PV plant design. Extensive knowledge of geotechnical engineering principles, foundation design, pile capacity calculations, pull‑out testing analysis, and soil condition assessments. Strong understanding of European engineering standards, Eurocodes, structural design requirements, and renewable energy project compliance frameworks. Experience utilizing engineering calculation tools, structural analysis software, and technical design review systems. Strong leadership, stakeholder management, project coordination, and technical review capabilities. Comfortable working within multinational organisations and collaborating with engineering, manufacturing, and project teams across different regions and time zones. Highly analytical, detail‑oriented, and capable of managing multiple technical priorities while maintaining engineering quality and project delivery standards. Previous experience working with solar tracker manufacturers, solar mounting system providers, EPC contractors, or utility‑scale renewable energy developers is highly preferred. Professional fluency in English is required as the primary working language. Professional fluency in Spanish is required to support local stakeholder communication, project coordination, and engineering activities across Spain. #J-18808-Ljbffr
