How to Apply for Project Engineer (Western France)

at Eranovum

🏢 About Eranovum

Eranovum is accelerating the transition to renewable energy and EV infrastructure, specifically focusing on sustainable mobility solutions across France. What makes them unique is their integrated approach to deploying charging stations from contract to commissioning, positioning them as a key player in Europe's green energy transformation. Working here offers the opportunity to directly contribute to France's EV infrastructure growth while being part of a remote-first team driving environmental impact.

About This Role

This Project Engineer role involves managing all engineering and construction phases for EV charging station deployments in Western France, from permitting through commissioning. You'll be responsible for Capex/Opex assessments, coordinating with EPC partners and business development teams, and potentially evolving into O&M duties. This position is impactful because you'll be building the physical infrastructure that enables France's transition to electric mobility.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing permitting documents for new charging station sites, coordinating with EPC partners on construction timelines, analyzing Capex for upcoming projects, and joining virtual meetings with the French business development team. You might conduct a remote site assessment or prepare technical documentation for commissioning, all while managing multiple deployment projects at different stages.

🎯 Who Eranovum Is Looking For

  • Electrical engineer with 5+ years managing urban electrical installations (HV/LV), ideally with project development background
  • Has direct experience with fast-charging station projects in both low and high voltage applications
  • Demonstrates multi-project management capability specifically for distributed infrastructure deployments
  • Possesses in-depth knowledge of French electrical standards and EV charging regulations

📝 Tips for Applying to Eranovum

1

Quantify your experience with specific numbers: 'managed 15+ charging station deployments' or 'reduced Capex by X% through engineering optimizations'

2

Highlight any experience with French permitting processes for electrical infrastructure, which is crucial for this role

3

Mention specific EV charging standards you've worked with (IEC 61851, ISO 15118, etc.) rather than just saying 'knowledge of standards'

4

If you have electrical certification, feature it prominently in your resume summary

5

Demonstrate remote collaboration experience since this is a remote position coordinating with French teams and partners

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with French electrical regulations and permitting processes for infrastructure projects', 'Examples of managing the full project lifecycle from contract signature to commissioning for distributed assets', "How you've coordinated between business development and engineering teams during project origination", 'Any direct experience with fast-charging station Capex/Opex modeling and optimization']
