About Greenlink Energy Solutions
Greenlink Energy Solutions is building the next generation of commercial clean energy infrastructure—designed for performance, resilience, and long-term value.
We partner with organizations to develop and integrate intelligent energy systems that reduce risk, control costs, and strengthen operational independence. Our work spans solar PV, energy storage, HVAC modernization, and energy optimization—aligned around one core principle: real-world outcomes backed by engineering discipline and lifecycle accountability.
We are not simply a contractor. We serve as developer, integrator, and long-term strategic partner—bringing together technical rigor, financial alignment, and operational control to ensure projects perform as intended over time.
As we scale, we are building a disciplined and repeatable commercial platform—one that prioritizes ownership, integration, and long-term system performance. We seek professionals who are energized by growth, value sound judgment, and want to help shape the future of commercial clean energy delivery.
About This Role
The Senior Solar Project Engineer plays a critical technical leadership role within Greenlink’s commercial operations. This position owns the engineering quality, constructability, and performance of commercial and complex solar PV projects across the full project lifecycle.
This is not a high-volume drafting role. The Senior Engineer is expected to exercise independent engineering judgment, guide design decisions, identify and mitigate technical risk, and support project teams from early feasibility through installation and commissioning.
What You’ll Do
Engineering Leadership & Design
Senior engineers at Greenlink are trusted to think critically, make decisions, and influence how work gets done. This role offers real ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to shape engineering standards within a growing commercial energy platform.
