Electrical Engineer

We are recruiting an Electrical Engineer for our client, a global leader in EPC and O&M services for utility-scale solar power plants. As their project pipeline in Romania expands, this hands-on role will join the on-site execution team in Arad .

Project-based (:2 years, with possibility of extension)

In this role, you will oversee and support all electrical installation activities for large-scale PV projects — covering DC and AC systems, MV/HV infrastructure, inverters, transformers, and grid connection works — ensuring safe, timely, and compliant execution in line with technical specifications, IEC standards, and grid operator requirements.

If you're ready to work directly in the field and contribute to Romania's renewable energy growth, apply now and let's see if it's a match.

Main Responsibilities Site Execution & Supervision

• Supervise installation of DC and AC LV/MV systems: strings, cables, connectors, inverters, panels, and transformers
• Support MV/HV works (cables, terminations, substations, switchgear) and grounding/bonding systems
• Ensure execution follows approved drawings and coordinate with mechanical and civil teams

Quality & Technical Control

• Review IFC drawings, single-line diagrams, and electrical documentation for compliance with specs and OEM requirements
• Supervise testing activities (Megger, IV curve, MV/HV equipment testing) and support energization/synchronization
• Assist in QA/QC inspections and manage NCRs and corrective actions

Subcontractor Coordination

• Supervise electrical subcontractors and monitor DC/AC cabling and equipment installation progress
• Ensure compliance with Method Statements and HSE standards
• Monitor execution quality and support subcontractor performance evaluation

Planning & Reporting

• Monitor daily/weekly progress and support the sequencing of works (DC AC MV HV)
• Report installed quantities and project progress
• Identify bottlenecks and execution risks, and support recovery plans to keep the schedule on track

Testing, Commissioning & Grid Connection

• Support pre-commissioning, commissioning, and energization activities
• Assist during synchronization and grid compliance tests, coordinating with equipment suppliers
• Support PAC / FAC activities and final handover

HSE & Site Coordination

• Ensure safe execution of all electrical activities and monitor high-risk operations such as live works
• Participate in toolbox talks and electrical risk assessments
• Coordinate closely with the Mechanical and Civil teams

Candidate Profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical / Power Engineering
• 3–5 years' experience in construction or industrial projects; utility-scale solar is a strong advantage
• Solid knowledge of MV/HV systems, substations, power distribution, PV systems, inverters, transformers, and protections
• Fluent English; confident with MS Office and reading electrical drawings (AutoCAD)
• Strong coordination and organizational skills; practical, site-oriented mindset
• Proactive problem-solver with strong communication and teamwork abilities
• Comfortable working in multicultural environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with SCADA and PPC systems
• Experience with grid operator requirements (TSO / DSO)
• ANRE authorization
• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering
