Senior Design Engineer
Enemix | South Netherlands (Office-based)
Overview
This business is a well-established Dutch solar energy specialist, active since 2012, delivering solar installations across rooftop, ground-mount, carport, greenhouse and facade applications.
They deliver the large majority of their projects directly rather than subcontracting, run their own in-house product development function, and work with a number of recognisable retail and institutional partners. Alongside their established solar park pipeline, they are now moving into utility-scale battery storage, having recently begun certification for larger BESS projects.
They are looking for a Senior Design Engineer to take ownership of technical design across their project, service and solar park work, with genuine scope to grow into a leadership role as the team and pipeline expand.
What you'll do
- Lead technical design across rooftop solar, service and solar park projects, from concept through to execution
- Produce string calculations, string plans, material lists, cable routing, ballast plans and lifting plans, and follow projects through after handover
- Take ownership of solar park projects from the calculation phase through to execution, working closely with the sales engineering function
- Support and, over time, help lead a small engineering team as the business scales
- Get involved in service and rebuild projects where needed
- Bring genuine technical judgement and ideas to project design, rather than just running calculations
What we're looking for
- Around 2-10 years' experience in solar or renewable energy design engineering (flexible for the right level of quality)
- Strong CAD skills - AutoCAD or BricsCAD; VirtoCAD experience is a plus
- A background in electrical, civil or general engineering
- Solar experience is essential
- Comfortable taking full ownership of a project and working independently, at pace
- Dutch language is an advantage but not essential
What's on offer
- Base salary of EUR 4,500-5,500 gross per month, excluding 8% holiday allowance
- 26 holiday days
- Pension scheme in line with the CAO Metal & Technique
- Genuine scope to grow into a leadership position as the team and pipeline expand
Why this role
This suits an engineer who wants real ownership of projects rather than a narrow, process-driven remit, in a business that delivers most of its work directly. With several solar parks moving through the calculation phase and a growing BESS pipeline behind them, there is a clear route to more responsibility for someone who shows drive and initiative.
