You'll directly impact Argentina's renewable energy infrastructure by ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned with Trina Storage's strategic objectives in the region.

  • A problem-solver familiar with Argentina's specific renewable energy regulations (PMGD framework) and grid connection challenges
