Installation & Maintenance Technician (f/m) - Solar Solutions for Industrial Greenhouses
Épalinges, Switzerland
The Role
Voltiris is looking for a reliable Installation & Maintenance Technician to own the on-site execution of our solar projects for industrial greenhouses, from kit delivery to commissioning. You apply our installation standards with discipline, catch deviations early, and hand over a fully validated, documented system every time.
You coordinate mechanical installers and electricians, control quality and safety at every step, and treat every installation as a chance to reinforce the process. Beyond installation, you monitor deployed solar projects via our online platform and lead corrective and preventive maintenance to keep them performing reliably. You are Voltiris' primary field representative, bridging engineering design and real-world implementation across multiple countries and sites.
This position can be based in Switzerland or the Netherlands.
What We're Offering
Full ownership of on-site execution, from site assessment to commissioning to handover
Direct coordination with mechanical installers, electricians, and the R&D/technical teams — your field observations feed back into product development
Autonomy to manage logistics, inventory, and multi-trade coordination across several simultaneous project sites
Hard Skills We Need
Project Preparation & Execution (core of the role)
Proven track record installing equipment in industrial greenhouses, photovoltaic solar systems, or other complex technical installations
Hands-on experience coordinating multiple activities (mechanical, electrical) on a single site
Conduct preliminary site assessments to verify technical readiness and resolve logistical constraints before installation begins
Ability to prepare technical components for greenhouses, and manage project-specific inventory so the field team is never delayed by missing parts
Quality & Commissioning Discipline
Experience with system commissioning, testing, and performance validation — verifying every component performs to spec before handover
Rigorous approach to quality control and to safety, sanitary, and regulatory compliance in industrial greenhouse environments
Ability to compile clean, structured "as-built" documentation and deliver technical training to clients and greenhouse managers
CFC (Swiss vocational certificate) in solar installation is an asset
Monitoring & Preventive Maintenance
Prior exposure to preventive maintenance programs and remote monitoring tools is a strong plus
Ability to monitor installations via an online platform, translate alerts into corrective on-site actions, and diagnose electrical/mechanical faults
Plan and supervise the yearly preventive maintenance campaign across the installed solar installation, with documentation of every intervention (parts used, system status) for traceability
Technical Literacy
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, electrical schematics, structural diagrams, and equipment manuals
Strong problem-solving skills; comfortable working autonomously
Operational Capabilities
Valid driver's license;
Ability to work safely at heights
Significant geographic mobility across Europe for multi-day project assignments
Professional proficiency in English; French, Dutch, or German is a plus
What Success Looks Like After 12 Months
Installations across your sites are executed consistently to standard — low deviation rate, high repeatability, clean documentation
The preventive maintenance campaign runs on schedule across the full installed fleet, with traceable records for every intervention
You are the reference point for the field playbook — the person contractors, clients, and the engineering team count on
Your field observations have measurably strengthened installation standards over time
Why join us :
Sustainability: play a strong role in deploying a solution that brings decarbonized electricity to greenhouses
Strategic impact: take ownership of the field playbook that let Voltiris scale its technology to greenhouse worldwide
End-to-end ownership: see projects through from a warehouse kit to a functioning solar power plant
Dynamic environment: join collaborative, high-trust scale-up culture where field expertise informs product development
Fast-growing environment: grow with our installation scale-up, with clear paths for internal advancement as our international portfolio expands
If you have taken a project from kit to fully commissioned system, kept it clean and compliant every step of the way, and made sure it kept running long after handover — that is exactly what we want to hear about.
