Sales Solutions Engineer - PV, BESS & Renewable Energy

Greenvolt Next is committed to the Distributed Energy Generation, as this is one of the main axes of energy transition and key to reduce the costs of energy bills. We have partnerships across Europe relying on local knowledge and market expertise.

Provide technical pre-sales and concept-design support for renewable energy projects from initial opportunity through desktop assessment, site survey and tender submission. Working with Sales, customers, Engineering and Operations, develop technically appropriate and commercially viable C&I and utility-scale solutions incorporating solar PV, BESS and other behind-the-meter technologies.

• Develop desktop feasibility assessments and preliminary designs for solar PV, BESS and hybrid behind-the-meter solutions, including layouts, DC/AC sizing, equipment selection, cable routes, LV/HV architecture, transformer requirements and preliminary SLDs.
• Undertake initial technical site surveys independently, assessing roofs or land, existing electrical infrastructure, switchrooms, substations, metering, connection points, access, cable routes, installation constraints and maintainability; identify where specialist surveys or engineering are required.
• Assess how proposed generation and storage can integrate with existing LV/HV infrastructure, identify likely connection points and highlight switchgear, transformer, distribution-board or protection constraints requiring upgrade or further investigation.
• Apply a strong working knowledge of G99, G100 and DNO connection processes, including export limitations, connection capacity, reinforcement requirements and the technical implications of connection offers.
• Review ITTs, Employer's Requirements, specifications, drawings, grid information and technical schedules, converting them into technically compliant, commercially sensible solutions and supporting tender responses, clarifications, assumptions and exclusions.
• Support Sales and Estimating with equipment quantities, budget estimates, BOQs, tender costings and assessment of the cost, programme, risk and constructability implications of alternative technical solutions.

• Act as the technical/customer interface with customers, consultants, DNOs, suppliers, Design Engineers, Project Managers and subcontractors, explaining proposed solutions and limitations without overcommitting the business.
• Work within Greenvolt's professional HSE processes, maintaining awareness of CDM, work at height, electrical and construction risks, and ensuring clear handover of developed opportunities to detailed Engineering and Operations.
