Hire an energy and renewables engineer in Greece and Cyprus

Owner's-side engineering for the renewables build-out: yield, design, grid, and the due diligence behind projects changing hands.

Greece and Cyprus are in the middle of a renewables build-out, and the constraint has shifted. Panels, turbines, batteries, and contractors can all be procured; what is scarce is senior engineering judgement on the owner's side of the table. An energy and renewables engineer supplies exactly that across solar, wind, and storage: reviewing yield estimates and designs before capital commits to them, steering the licensing and grid-connection path, and standing as owner's engineer while the plant is built.

The energy and renewables engineers on Hellenic Talent come from senior roles in technical consultancies, EPC contractors, and energy companies. Their work splits between generation projects, from greenfield development to assets changing hands, and the demand side: energy-efficiency and decarbonisation programs for industrial and hotel operators, including the EU-funded upgrades much of that work now runs through.

What does an energy and renewables engineer actually do?

  • Review yield studies, designs, and equipment choices for solar, wind, and storage projects
  • Steer the licensing and grid-connection path, keeping the technical file consistent through it
  • Act as owner's engineer during construction: design review, site inspections, and acceptance testing
  • Run technical due diligence on projects and portfolios changing hands, for buyers, sellers, and lenders
  • Shape energy-efficiency and decarbonisation programs for industrial and hotel operators
  • Prepare the technical content of EU-funded upgrade applications and the evidence they call for
  • Read PPAs, EPC contracts, and equipment warranties from the technical side before signature

How to choose the right energy and renewables engineer

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Beyond financial close

    Has taken projects of your technology through to operation, not only through to financial close.

  2. Local licensing and grid path

    Has recent, first-hand experience of the licensing and grid-connection path in Greece or Cyprus.

  3. Has no product to sell

    Independent of the developers, contractors, and equipment vendors involved in your project.

  4. Measurements and program documentation

    For efficiency work, comfortable with both the measurements and the documentation funded programs demand.

  5. Chamber registration where required

    Where the work requires signed studies or permits, confirm registration with the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) or the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK).
