About Energy Systems

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

Renewables is a growing department of almost 120 experts in DNV’s UK & Ireland region. We are actively solving the biggest challenge of our time, the energy transition. We provide specialist consulting and assurance to the renewable industry for on and offshore wind, solar and storage, and power grids. We are continually looking to strengthen our teams and expand our capability further into the electrical networks and systems which enable renewable electricity generation.

Our work is primarily a mixture of due diligence, owner’s engineering and technical consulting. As consultants, driven by the fast-paced energy market, we are asked to solve a wide range of customers’ challenges from equipment inspections to failure investigations and training. Our primary market is the UK & Ireland, with key hubs in Bristol, London, Glasgow and Dublin. However, we also collaborate with colleagues across the globe, sharing our knowledge and expertise, to help deliver critical projects for our customers around the world.

Our Opportunity:

Our projects are varied and challenging. Our teams are made up of world leading subject matter experts and highly skilled generalists, who bring their specific knowledge, passion and skills together to find solutions for our customer’s most complex projects. We are actively growing and increasing the range of challenges we solve for our customers and our planet.

Across DNV, we have a wealth of experience in all energy vectors and with over 5,000 people working to deliver the energy transition, our expertise covers the full breadth and depth of the energy value chain.

Our solar team has a strong customer focus and work hard to maintain high standards in our projects. We are looking for individuals that enjoy working in an agile environment, have a can-do attitude, share a passion for learning and thrive on challenge. We listen to Customers, develop solutions, negotiate contracts, project manage and execute the technical delivery. While the work is mainly desktop, off site activities and conference and events attendance is also part of the day-to-day job.

Our Principal / Senior Consultants are technical experts in their field and are also expected to take on project and bid management as part of their work. You’ll often find yourself project managing your own projects while providing your technical expertise as a team member for other projects. We appreciate that not everyone will have been exposed to such a broad range of opportunities and activities, so we provide comprehensive technical, project management and sales training to support and develop your skills as you progress your career with us.

Based out of either our Bristol, London or Glasgow offices, there are travel opportunities for engaging with customers and visiting project sites as part of your role. These are mostly around the UK & Ireland but as a global organisation, occasionally, these may take you further afield.

The requirements for the role are as follows:

  • Significant experience in the PV solar industry in UK and Ireland. Understanding of other renewable or storage technologies is a plus.
  • Deep understanding of solar technology and solar plants, including contracting strategies, design and performance aspects and operational challenges.
  • Demonstrable experience in a technical consulting capacity, performing solar due diligence activities.
  • Experience as owner’s engineer during pre-construction, construction and operation of solar farms. Including design review, financial model input assumptions, employer’s requirements, procurement, construction monitoring and payment certification, testing, commissioning, energisation and acceptance.
  • Understanding of the following is highly desirable:
    • Feasibility and concept design stages of solar farms as well as planning, grid and land acquisition process.
    • Standard contract forms in construction, especially for renewable energy projects.
    • Project finance structures and the financial models for PV Solar projects.
  • Ability to engage with senior stakeholders in our customers and contractors and use your network to find business opportunities.
  • PVSyst modelling or CAD drawing skills are also plus.
  • A curious mindset and a willingness to embrace change.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical issues to non-experts through reports, meetings and presentations.
  • Passion for supporting the development of others through training, coaching and/or mentoring.
