**Mission**

Voltiris is dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint of global food systems by developing innovative solar energy solutions for the agricultural sector. As an award-winning company based in Lausanne, we are expanding our deployment of photovoltaic systems across Europe. We are seeking a full-time Installation & Maintenance Technician to lead the on-site execution and technical management of our solar projects.

**Role Overview**

The Installation & Maintenance Technician is a central figure in our project delivery engine. Unlike a traditional maintenance role, this position focuses on the successful coordination of installations, ensuring that every project is executed with precision, on schedule, and in accordance with technical specifications. You will act as the primary field representative for Voltiris, managing external contractors, coordinating complex logistics, and bridging the gap between engineering design and real-world implementation.

**Key Responsibilities**

**On-Site Coordination & Execution**

- Coordinate the installation of Voltiris solar modules in industrial greenhouses, from initial planning to final commissioning, in collaboration with:
- External teams in charge of mechanical installation.
- Electricians for connecting the solar systems to the grid and ensuring proper functioning.
- Quality & Safety Oversight: Enforce rigorous quality control during the installation process. Ensure that all site activities comply with safety, sanitary, and regulatory standards specific to industrial agriculture.

**Project Readiness & Logistics**

- **Site Preparation:**
 Conduct preliminary site assessments to verify technical readiness and resolve logistical constraints before the main installation phase begins.
- **Resource Management:**
 Prepare technical components at our facilities and at the clients site. Support the logistical team in getting tools and equipment to project sites.
- **Inventory Control:**
 Manage the inventory for project-specific parts and installation equipment, ensuring that the field team is never delayed by missing components.

**Commissioning & Performance Validation**

- **System Commissioning:**
 Lead the final testing and activation of solar installations. Verify that all components are performing to specification before formal handover.
- **Operational Handover:**
 Manage the compilation of "as-built" documentation and provide technical training to clients and greenhouse managers.
- **R&D Integration:**
 Collaborate with the R&D and technical teams to test new iterations of our technology in the field.

Qualifications

- **Professional Experience:**
 Proven track record in project coordination or lead technician roles within industrial greenhouses, photovoltaic systems, or complex installations.
- **Technical Literacy:**
 Ability to interpret technical drawings, electrical schematics, and structural diagrams.
- **Operational Capabilities:**
 Valid driver’s license and the ability to work safely at heights are mandatory. This role requires significant geographic mobility for multi-day project assignments throughout Europe.
- **Linguistic Competencies:**
 Professional proficiency in English. Proficiency in other European languages is considered a plus

**What We Offer**

- **Strategic Impact:**
 Take ownership of the "field playbook" that will allow Voltiris to scale its technology globally.
- **End-to-End Ownership:**
 Manage the tangible results of our engineering efforts, seeing projects through from a warehouse kit to a functioning solar power plant.
- **Collaborative Environment:**
 Work within a high-trust, professional startup culture where field expertise directly informs product development.
- **Growth Potential:**
 Opportunities to take on increasing levels of project management responsibility as our international portfolio expands.
