SCADA Engineering Manager (m/f/d) – Utility Scale PV & BESS

Greencells doesn't just build solar plants — we help shape Europe's energy future. With conviction, responsibility, and strong teams.

With more than 190 completed projects and over 4.1 GWp of installed capacity, we are one of Europe's leading EPC and O&M providers for utility-scale solar power. We provide engineering, construction and technical O&M services for grid-connected PV in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania and Hungary – efficient, accelerated, and always looking ahead.

What drives us: We build energy solutions for a better tomorrow.

It's not just a line – it's what we stand for.

And how we work reflects that: We take ownership. We list, think ahead and act with purpose. We stay pragmatic when things get complex. And we've got each other's backs when it matters. For us, quality isn't a commitment – it's a mindset.

Whether you manage projects, design systems, balance books or communications shape – you'll find freedom here, not structures rigid. Your ideas matter. Your initiative is welcome. And your impact is tangible – in results, in teams, in the energy transition.

At Greencells, you'll work in intercultural, interdisciplinary teams – with flat hierarchies, real ownership and the chance to make your mark. Flexible working models, mutual trust and opportunities to grow are just as much a part of our culture as the shared ambitious to move forward – professionally and personally.

If that sounds like the kind of place you're looking for – we'd love to get to know you.

As SCADA Engineering Manager, you take technical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, planning control and communication systems for our utility-scale PV and BESS projects. You act as the central technical interface between engineering, project teams, customers, grid and operators external suppliers search as Gantner or meteocontrol — ensuring these systems are correctly specified, integrated, tested and commissioned. This role combines strong technical understanding with coordination and stakeholder management: you translate between grid operator requirements, customer expectations, supplier solutions and EPC project realities. Most importantly, when a plant reaches commissioning, you ensure SCADA, PPC and communication systems work interruption — rather than becoming the project's last unresolved interface.
