Nexus Analytica is an international energy and digitalization consultancy specializing in renewable energy, power systems, and smart grid solutions. The company supports governments, utilities, and private sector clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in developing and implementing large-scale energy infrastructure projects, including solar PV, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and digital energy platforms such as NexusGRID.Position OverviewWe are seeking an experienced Senior Solar PV Design Engineer to lead the technical design and engineering of utility-scale solar PV and hybrid (PV + BESS) projects. The role combines advanced engineering design, technical leadership, and project coordination, supporting projects from early-stage feasibility through detailed design, procurement, and commissioning.The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in utility-scale solar PV systems, including fixed-tilt and tracker-based designs, and experience working with utilities, transmission system operators, or large industrial clients.Key Responsibilities1. Project Design & EngineeringLead the design and optimization of utility-scale solar PV systems, including fixed-tilt and single-axis tracker configurationsDevelop plant layouts, electrical designs (DC/AC), and grid integration conceptsPerform energy yield assessments and performance modeling using tools such as PVsyst, PVcase, Helioscope, and AutoCADConduct system sizing, cable routing, inverter selection, and loss analysisIntegrate BESS into PV plant designs, including sizing, dispatch logic, and hybrid control conceptsApply value engineering principles to optimize CAPEX, OPEX, and system performance2. Technical Project ManagementSupport and oversee the full project lifecycle: feasibility studies, conceptual design, tendering, detailed engineering, and commissioningCoordinate with internal teams (digital, grid, SCADA, regulatory) and external stakeholders (developers, EPCs, utilities)Review and align technical specifications, employer’s requirements, and tender documentsContribute to technical due diligence and bankability assessments for investors and lenders3. Grid Integration & System StudiesSupport grid connection studies, including load flow, short-circuit, and dynamic performance considerationsEnsure compliance with grid codes, interconnection requirements, and utility standards (e.g., LVRT/HVRT, reactive power, frequency response)Coordinate with grid and power system experts for hybrid system integration (PV + BESS)4. Technical LeadershipAct as a technical reference point for solar PV design within Nexus AnalyticaMentor and guide junior engineers and analystsContribute to the development of internal design standards, tools, and methodologiesSupport innovation in digitalization, optimization, and performance monitoring5. Quality Assurance & ComplianceReview and approve design documents, drawings, simulations, and engineering reportsEnsure compliance with international standards (IEC, IEEE) and project-specific technical requirementsSupport site assessments, commissioning, and performance validationQualifications & ExperienceBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or related fieldMinimum 5–8 years of experience in solar PV engineering, with a focus on utility-scale projectsProven experience in designing large-scale PV plants (ground-mounted and tracker systems)Strong proficiency in PVsyst, AutoCAD, PVcase, Helioscope, or similar toolsSolid understanding of:Electrical design (DC/AC systems, protection, grounding)Grid integration and interconnection requirementsSolar resource assessment and performance modelingExperience with BESS and hybrid PV systems is highly desirableFamiliarity with SCADA systems, plant monitoring, and digital energy platforms is a plusStrong project management and coordination skillsExcellent communication skills in EnglishWhat We OfferOpportunity to work on high-impact international energy projects with governments, utilities, and development institutionsExposure to cutting-edge projects in solar PV, BESS, and digital energy systemsA dynamic, multidisciplinary environment combining engineering, digitalization, and policyCareer growth into technical leadership and project management roles
