Solar Energy Engineer

MG Sustainable Engineering AB is a young dynamic start-up based in Uppsala and with a strategic partnership with both the University of Gävle (HiG), Lumicum Foundation and Absolicon solar collector AB in Härnösand.
MG was launched in 2014, initially with a low level of activities. In 2018, MG started its first major project, RES4Build (www.res4build.eu), in which renewable solutions for buildings in the EU are studied.
The RES4Build is a 5 million € H2020 project distributed over 15 partners. MG is responsible for building and testing novel CPVT prototypes.
Today, MG has received its second large project: the RES4Live. This project has a 6 million euro budget under the H2020 Innovation Action (funding 70%). MG will be one of 18 participants looking into renewable energy solutions for livestock farms in the EU (namely in four specific farms: Belgium, Italy, Germany and Greece). MG´s role will be to design and install both the PVT and PV systems in those farms over the four years of the project. Additionally, MG will design and build a prefabricated PVT system feed-in station.


The candidate needs to be organized and able to manage MG´s participation in a large complex project with many participants and different interests at stake.
It is essential that the candidate is driven and able to work independently, looking for support whenever needed.
The candidate needs to be able to manage the deadlines and have the vision to be able to plan ahead to ensure that all activities are successfully carried out.
The candidate needs to understand at least basics of solar thermal and photovoltaic energy. Solar installation experience is highly desirable. The candidate needs good mechanical design knowledge. MG will be recruiting 3 engineers for this project.
Whenever the activities within RES4Live allow, the candidate will be expected to lead in writing grant applications proposals to H2020 or the Swedish Energy agency.
An engineering background is preferable. A Master's Degree is a plus.
