Solar Development Director
Solar Development Director
? Lausanne, Switzerland
✅ At least 3 years of management experience is required.
? Proposed gross annual base salary: approximately USD 215,000
Management experience in property, infrastructure or another industry counts if you have led a team and taken projects through site assessment, feasibility and investment review. Applicants based outside Switzerland are welcome. Site visits and discussions with property owners require attendance around Lausanne.
You’ll develop solar opportunities at industrial and commercial properties. At the first visit, establish who controls the site, how the facility operates and what needs to be resolved before engineering work begins. Your team will turn that information into a development plan with realistic costs, deadlines and approval requirements.
☀️ What you will lead
- Assess site rights, roof condition, access and the customer’s electricity use before committing development funds.
- Coordinate early engineering and grid studies, and explain how the findings affect project economics.
- Agree responsibilities with owners and tenants, including access for installation and maintenance.
- Present investment recommendations that show which commitments are in place and which decisions still need approval.
? Professional relationships
- Relationships with property owners, factory managers or engineering partners in Vaud are an advantage.
