Job Vacancies at Scatec

Why this role matters

• As a Mechanical Engineer, you will support senior engineering colleagues in delivering technically compliant renewable energy projects, with a specific focus on mechanical substructures.
• You will manage or lead allocated design activities, technical assessments and due diligence studies, helping ensure technical and contractual requirements are incorporated from early development through construction, commissioning and operations.

What you’ll be doing

You will support mechanical engineering activities across the project lifecycle, including:

• Assess suitable substructure solutions for greenfield sites, support preliminary energy yield assessments and contribute to technical business cases.
• Calculate project-specific tracker energy losses and gains, including stow and misalignment losses, and develop tools to improve these assessments.
• Develop mechanical base cases and specifications, evaluate technologies and undertake technical due diligence to support sound project decisions.
• Support Supply Chain Management with requests for proposals, supplier evaluations, technical alignment of commercial offers and technical contract schedules.
• Coordinate and review mechanical system designs, ensuring requirements established during project structuring are incorporated into detailed construction designs.
• Engage with lenders’ technical advisers, suppliers, contractors and project teams to resolve technical matters and support Financial Close and execution planning.
• Review design changes, assess construction quality documentation, conduct site visits and support testing, commissioning, commercial operation and technical handover, including substructure commissioning.
• Follow Scatec’s operating system and improve mechanical engineering processes, assessment tools and templates.

Your work will help translate sound mechanical design into reliable, practical renewable energy assets.

What you’ll gain

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure and meaningful contribution from day one.
• Hands-on experience in a role built on learning through doing.
• Broader commercial understanding through close collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Stronger mechanical engineering and project delivery skills across the renewable energy project lifecycle.
• Practical exposure to solar PV substructures, tracker behaviour, structural analysis and mechanical testing.
• Experience taking mechanical designs from concept and technology selection through construction, commissioning and handover.

What you’ll bring

Experience and qualifications

• A degree in Mechanical, Electromechanical or Mechatronic Engineering.
• At least four years’ relevant engineering experience, including three years in structural analysis and three years in a project environment.
• Experience in AutoCAD, mechanical testing processes, and utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) project design and execution.
• Sound engineering design capability, particularly for PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies, with the ability to analyse and simulate energy production from systems using multiple technologies.
• Knowledge of energy generation contracts, technical schedules, utility interfaces and stakeholders, supported by strong analytical, reporting, communication and cross-functional teamwork skills.
• Fluent written and spoken English. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element modelling (FEM), wider solar and wind renewable energy experience, and Spanish, German or French language skills are advantageous.
