We are recruiting an Electrical Engineer – Utility-Scale Solar Projects on behalf of our client, a global leader in EPC and O&M services for utility-scale solar power plants. As their project pipeline in Romania expands, this hands-on role will join the on-site execution team in Arad.
In this role, you will oversee and support all electrical installation activities for large-scale PV projects — covering DC and AC systems, MV/HV infrastructure, inverters, transformers, and grid connection works — ensuring safe, timely, and compliant execution in line with technical specifications, IEC standards, and grid operator requirements.
This role is project-based for approximately 2 years, with the possibility of extension.
If you’re ready to work directly in the field and contribute to Romania’s renewable energy growth, apply now and let’s see if it’s a match.
