Greenvolt Next is committed to decentralized energy production, as it represents one of the key pillars of the energy transition and a crucial lever for reducing electricity bills. We have partnerships across Europe, based on local expertise and a deep understanding of each market.

Greenvolt Next France is seeking an Associate for Ground PV Design. You will play a key role in the technical development and validation of ground-mounted photovoltaic projects across different business units and international markets. 

You will contribute to the design strategy, technical feasibility, and cost optimization of PV projects, working closely with sales, engineering, and other internal and external stakeholders. This role combines strong technical expertise with collaboration, process standardization, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced international environment. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Support and contribute to the technical design of ground-mounted PV projects, including civil works, electrical LV/MV systems, grid connection architecture, and protection systems; 
• Prepare and validate layouts, energy yield simulations, and Bills of Quantities (BoQs) for ground PV projects; 
• Support the validation of CAPEX estimates, technical assumptions, and budget feasibility at tender stage; 
• Ensure compliance with grid codes, DSO requirements, and internal technical standards; 
• Collaborate in the identification of technical risks and support mitigation measures during proposal development; 
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, supporting coordination between engineering, sales, and external partners; 
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of standardized design criteria, templates, and cost libraries; 
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to engineering processes, tools, and workflows; 
• Participate in technical clarification meetings with clients when required. 

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Energy, Civil Engineering, or a similar field; 

• 5 to 7 years of professional experience in ground-mounted PV projects; 

• Solid knowledge of:  

• Ground-mounted PV systems; 

• Medium Voltage (MV) design and grid connection requirements; 

• Civil works for solar plants (earthworks, foundations, drainage, access roads); 

• Interconnection and protection systems; 

• Advanced proficiency in engineering tools, such as:  

• PVSyst / PVSol; 

• AutoCAD (layouts and single line diagrams); 

• Excel for budgeting and technical analysis; 

• Experience in tender-stage engineering and cost estimation for EPC projects; 

• Experience working with multidisciplinary or international teams is highly valued; 

• Strong analytical skills, structured thinking, and attention to detail; 

• High sense of accountability and risk awareness; 

• Excellent communication skills, able to interact at both technical and executive levels;
