European Energy is a green company in exponential growth. We develop, construct, and operate projects within solar- (PV) and wind farms globally, as well as Power-to-X. Our core values are the foundation of everything we do: In it together, Trust and courage, Ambition, Excitement, Inclusion, and Agility.

Your new department

As our new PV Designer, you will be part of our EPC department which handles all the engineering activities within our Danish building program and plays an important role on the design for our international building programs. The PV Design team´s main responsibilities are to support the Project/Development department on the different project stages from Greenfield to Ready-to-Build, and later on EPC on the construction stage. We navigate between inhouse design, subcontractors’ design including multi-contracting approach where sub-contractor management is a big part of the daily routines. The team consist of 7 people.

Your new role:

As a PV Design Engineer of our EPC department, you will play a crucial role in the development and construction stages of photovoltaic (PV) projects. You will be part of a multidisciplinary and international team in charge of the overall project design of Utility-Scale Solar Farms worldwide.
