As a Solar Engineer, you are responsible for the technical analysis, performance studies, and design optimization of photovoltaic and storage systems. You utilize advanced 2D/3D design tools and performance simulation software to develop efficient and cost-effective solar solutions. You work closely with execution teams to ensure seamless project delivery from design to implementation, while supporting procurement activities through detailed material specifications and order preparation. Your work location is Nivelles/Roeselare.
Responsibilities conduct comprehensive technical analysis and feasibility studies for photovoltaic and storage projects, including site assessment and energy yield optimization
perform detailed performance simulations and modeling using specialized software such as PVSyst, ensuring accurate energy production forecasts and system optimization
design and develop technical layouts using 2D/3D CAD tools, creating detailed electrical and mechanical drawings for photovoltaic installations
collaborate closely with execution teams to provide technical support during construction phases, ensuring design intent is maintained and addressing field modifications
prepare detailed material lists and technical specifications for procurement, coordinating with the company\'s purchasing systems to facilitate efficient order processing
support project managers with technical input during pre-sales activities, including preliminary design concepts and budget estimations
analyze system performance data and conduct post-installation performance assessments to validate design assumptions and identify optimization opportunities
review and approve technical submittals from contractors and suppliers, ensuring compliance with design specifications and industry standards
provide technical guidance and design clarifications to execution teams throughout project implementation phases
support continuous improvement by researching new technologies, design methodologies, and performance optimization techniques
conduct technological watch and stay updated on emerging trends in photovoltaic, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure
ensure all designs comply with Belgian and European regulations, grid codes, and client technical requirements
maintain and update design standards, calculation templates, and technical documentation libraries
Qualifications bachelor\'s degree in electrical engineering, renewable energy, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field
proven experience in photovoltaic system design, analysis, and performance optimization, preferably within an EPC or engineering consultancy environment
experience with performance analysis tools and data interpretation for solar installations
experience with company ERP/purchasing systems and procurement workflows would be advantageous
advanced proficiency in PVSyst software for performance simulation and energy yield analysis
strong skills in 2D/3D CAD software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, etc.) for technical design and layout development
solid understanding of PV-system components, electrical systems design, and relevant standards (IEC, IEEE, NEN, etc.)
knowledge of battery systems and electric vehicle charging concepts is preferred; alternatively, willingness to develop these competencies through internal or external training programs
knowledge of procurement processes and experience in preparing technical specifications and material lists
strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail in technical calculations and simulations
demonstrated ability to conduct technological watch and integrate innovative solutions into engineering practices
excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with multidisciplinary execution teams
