We are looking for a PV & BESS Engineer to join our Project Engineering team within the EPC Department. In this role, you will contribute to the development, design, procurement, and construction of our growing solar PV and BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) portfolio across Europe.

About the position:

You are expected to take technical ownership of projects within the PV & BESS discipline and demonstrate a strong understanding of technical concepts for large-scale, ground-mounted solar PV plants, standalone BESS, and hybrid projects. This includes supporting permitting processes, conducting technical due diligence, managing EPC/EPCM deliverables, and overseeing construction activities to ensure compliance with technical, contractual, and quality requirements.

You will take responsibility for managing external engineering consultants and EPC/EPCM contractors, reviewing their technical documentation and supporting their construction activities, supporting supplier selection, and contributing to the technical development of the department. You will also support our Development team in analyzing new projects, preparing preliminary layouts, and assessing early-stage feasibility using tools such as RatedPower, PVSyst and PVcase.

You will report directly to the Project Engineering Team Manager and collaborate closely with the rest of EPC, Operations, and Development teams across the full project lifecycle – from early-stage feasibility assessments, permitting support, and technical due diligence, to managing detailed design, procurement, and construction processes.

The position is based at our headquarters in Hellerup, Denmark.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage and review deliverables from external engineering consultants, EPC, and EPCM contractors to ensure technical compliance and quality.
Coordinate detailed design processes across disciplines (electrical, civil, structural, grid).
Support procurement by preparing technical specifications and participating in supplier and contractor evaluation.
Oversee and support construction activities from a technical perspective, ensuring alignment with design, contractual requirements, timeline, and budget.
Take technical ownership of assigned projects within the PV & BESS discipline and drive continuous improvement of internal engineering standards and processes.
Support Development in technical screening and analysis of new PV, BESS, and hybrid project opportunities.
Prepare preliminary layouts and conduct early-stage feasibility assessments using tools such as RatedPower and/or PVcase.
Contribute to permitting processes by providing technical input, drawings, and documentation.
Perform and support system size- and yield assessments and technical evaluations to inform investment decisions.
Assist in technical due diligence processes for acquisitions and project financing.

About you:

Minimum 2 years of experience with large-scale, ground-mounted solar PV plants.

Knowledge of BESS design principles and integration with solar PV plants.

Solid understanding of electrical and mechanical systems in solar PV projects.

Strong proficiency in AutoCAD.

Experience with PVsyst, PVcase, or similar software is an advantage.

Good analytical skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Structured, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset.

Fluency in English is required; additional European languages (Danish, Polish, Spanish, Lithuanian, or Italian) are considered an advantage.

About Nordic Solar:

At Nordic Solar, we’re on a mission to make solar energy benefit everyone. We develop, build, and operate large-scale solar parks across Europe. Solar energy is at the heart of the global shift to renewables, and we aim to lead that transformation.

Our ambitions go beyond solar. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are now a key part of our strategy, allowing us to store energy intelligently, stabilize the grid, and deliver power when it’s needed most. Together, solar and BESS give us the tools to accelerate a cleaner, more reliable energy future.

We’ve built a strong team of passionate experts covering the full value chain – from securing land and permits, over engineering and construction, to selling the power that fuels change. And we’re looking for talented people who want to be part of something bigger: creating a lasting impact where Sun, technology, and people meet.
