  • Provide real-time input to project managers, engineering teams, and external consultants

What’s Offered

  • Long-term collaboration with a technically rigorous project team
  • Leadership over key infrastructure assets tied to the energy transition
  • Competitive salary according to experience + travel expenses
  • Continuous exposure to cutting-edge technology and smart grid practices
  • Discreet, professional recruitment process – your application is fully confidential

Requirements:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience with MV/HV systems (substations, interconnection points, SCADA, protections, etc.)
  • Experience working with renewable projects (wind, solar, storage) is highly valued
  • Knowledge of Italian grid code (CEI standards) and interaction with national TSOs/DSOs
  • Fluent in Italian; English proficiency for technical documentation and meetings
