🎯 CONTEXT
As part of its strong growth in Italy, with four ground-mounted photovoltaic plants being commissioned in Lazio (about 43.5 MW) and about 57.6 MW of new projects being prepared for construction from 2027, Photosol Energia Italia is strengthening its Construction / EPC team in Italy and is looking for a Construction Project Manager Intern (M/F).
Reporting to the Construction Project Manager – Italy, the intern will provide operational support on project execution, from engineering, permitting and grid connection to the follow-up of the works, with strong exposure to technical, planning, quality, safety and cost issues.
🎯 MAIN TASKS
1. Engineering support and project preparation
· Contributing to the adaptation of PV plant layouts (layout, detailed design drawings – progetto esecutivo).
· Following with the technical engineerthe technical studies required for construction:
o Geotechnical studies
o Topographic surveys
o Pre-construction condition surveys
o Specific technical specifications (civil works, structures, networks, etc.)
· Supporting the secondary permitting required to start the works: applications to the authorities (Provinces, municipalities, ANAS, Genio Civile, Soprintendenza), tracker per site, start-of-works formalities.
· Helping with the technical analysis of the solutions proposed by earthworks and preparatory-works contractors.
2. Support to construction execution
· Assisting the Construction Project Manager in scheduling and monitoring the sites (planning, milestones, coordination).
· Taking part in progress meetings with contractors, the Works Director (DL) and partners.
· Contributing to the follow-up of the physical and financial progress of the projects.
