What do we rely on at ENCAVIS? The sun. The wind. And on you.

Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.

ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of ENCAVIS GmbH, one of Europe's leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA, which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Portfolio Management GmbH, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.

What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.

Your sunny outlook:

• Plant-Level Connectivity Ownership: You take ownership of plant-level connectivity and integration across Encavis’ European portfolio of photovoltaic (PV), battery storage (BESS) and hybrid assets.
• Communication Architecture & Assessment: You contribute to the evaluation and assessment of communication architectures for existing and new projects, ensuring reliable real-time and near-real-time data transfer.
• System Integration & Interface Management: You ensure seamless communication between plant-level components such as inverters, Power Plant Controllers (PPCs), data loggers, Energy Management Systems (EMS) and BESS controllers, and their integration into central monitoring platforms.
• Troubleshooting & Operational Support: You support the analysis and resolution of connectivity and communication issues in coordination with local O&M providers from an IPP perspective.
• Standardization & Governance: You coordinate cross-company and cross-country stakeholders and contribute to the standardization of connectivity concepts and interface definitions across the portfolio.
• IT/OT Collaboration & Security: You work closely with IT/OT teams to ensure secure and compliant system architectures and support network and information security requirements, including documentation, audits and security reviews.
• Monitoring Integration & Data Availability: You support integration into central SCADA and monitoring platforms and ensure consistent data availability and quality across the portfolio.

We'll get wind of that soon:

• Academic Background: You hold a degree in electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering or a comparable technical field.
• Relevant Professional Experience: You bring several years of experience in plant connectivity and SCADA environments within renewable energy, ideally in solar PV or battery storage systems.
• Technical & System Understanding: You have a strong understanding of networking, system interfaces and device-level communication within energy plant environments.
• Communication Protocols & Integration: You have hands-on experience with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, MQTT, IEC-based communication as well as APIs for data access and system integration.
• Hands-on Mindset & Problem Solving: You approach challenges with a practical mindset and are able to identify and resolve real-world connectivity issues in complex plant environments.
• Collaboration & Communication Skills: You communicate effectively and collaborate confidently within international and cross-functional teams.
• Language & International Environment: You are fluent in English; German, Italian or other European language skills are considered a plus.
• Mobility & Travel: You are willing to travel occasionally within Europe, for example to Hamburg and Parma.
