Electrical Engineer - PV & BESS

Galileo is a fast -growing renewable energy developer, investor and operator, currently in the very dynamic start -up phase. Since our foundation in 2020, we have secured a pipeline of over 16 GW of solar PV, onshore wind, offshore wind and storage projects across 10 markets in Europe.

What you’ll do

• Lead the definition of electrical design concepts
  and requirements (BoD/SoW, Employer’s Requirements, technical
  specifications) supporting tendering, contracting, and execution.
  
• Cover the full electrical scope across the plant and
  grid interface, from development stage up to construction, including:
  - DC and AC design concepts for PV and BESS (collection systems, aux supplies,
  control/communication interfaces)
  - MV and HV systems, including substation and grid -connection interfaces (primary/secondary systems coordination as applicable)
  - Contribute to grid studies and assessments (e.g.,
  short -circuit, load flow, harmonics, flicker, protection coordination),
  coordinating consultants/third parties when needed.
  - Review design deliverables (SLDs, protection &
  control schemes, substation/cabin layouts, cable schedules, grounding/earthing,
  lighting, auxiliary services
  - Protection, metering, grounding/earthing, lightning
  protection and electrical safety concepts
  
• Ensure compliance with Italian grid codes and
  relevant standards (e.g., CEI/IEC), and support grid -connection activities
  in collaboration with the Grid team (DSO/TERNA interface).
  
• Coordinate and/or review electrical deliverables
  from EPC contractors, consultants and suppliers; challenge design
  choices to ensure quality, constructability, cost effectiveness and risk
  mitigation.
  
• Support procurement by evaluating technical
  offers, clarifying vendor proposals, and contributing to supplier selection for
  key electrical equipment (e.g., transformers, MV switchgear, inverters/PCS,
  protection systems).
  
• Provide technical support during construction,
  including RFI management, site inspections, NCR resolution, FAT/SAT
  participation (as needed), and commissioning documentation review.
  
• Manage technical risks and electrical interfaces
  between packages (PV/BESS/Wind, substation, grid compliance, SCADA).
  
• Promote best practices for
  electrical safety, quality and document traceability.
  
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering
  standards, templates, and ways of working across the EPC organization.
  
• Depending on
  experience and availability, support similar activities for wind projects.
  

Requirements

What you’ll need: 

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent
  technical background).
  
• At least 3 -4 years of relevant experience in
  electrical engineering for Italian utility -scale PV projects (more senior
  profiles welcome); Specific BESS experience (PCS, EMS, control
  strategies, safety requirements, performance testing) is a plus.
  
• Practical exposure to multiple project phases
  (development/design, execution, commissioning), ideally within an EPC, IPP,
  developer, OEM, or engineering consultancy environment.
  
• Familiarity with MV/HV systems and grid -connection
  interfaces for renewable plants in Italy.
  
• Experience with electrical simulation/design tools
  (e.g., ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory or similar) and CAD.
  
• Strong ability to work cross -functionally and
  communicate clearly with internal and external stakeholders.
  
• Fluent Italian; professional English is a plus.
  
• Willingness to travel regularly within Italy for
  meetings and site activities.
