What does the day look like?
About 45% of your working time is spent on engineering design and modeling. You run energy yield simulations in PVsyst, adjust panel layouts using PVcase, draft Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) in AutoCAD, and calculate cable sizing and voltage drop. Another 30% goes toward grid compliance filings, environmental documentation, and technical tender packages for contractors.
The remaining time is split between commissioning tests on site (10%) and general site inspections (15%). You work a standard 38 to 42 hours per week in an office or remotely. There is no routine night shift work, though you will travel to solar plant sites during construction and commissioning phases.
