Under the supervision of the mentor, you will be responsible for:

  • mapping processes and defining areas for process improvement and optimization;
  • actively participating in the management of critical cases and problems related to the installations;
  • supporting the team in managing the relations with the installers assigned to Otovo projects;
  • preparing works for the permitting activities (filing of correspondence, check list of requested documentation, preparation of power point, etc…);
  • Site visits, when needed

At the same time we will give you the opportunity to test yourself by carrying out a lot of training

What we are looking for

  • Bachelor Degree in Engineering or Economics

What we offer

  • Sustainable Mission: more solar panels installed means less global warming. You will have the opportunity to work for a better world!
