About Us 👋

Hello! We are Samara, the solar installation startup that goes beyond self-consumption. We are here to accelerate the energy transition of households towards a more efficient, smarter and more sustainable model.

We are a high-growth startup that, above all, prioritizes people and the planet. We've just raised a €11 million financing round led by technology and sustainability-focused european funds. This capital increase will help us to continue our growth path and develop new products and services, so our team is constantly growing.We are looking to expand our Energy Engineering team.

In line with our values, at Samara we firmly believe that the climate crisis is the biggest challenge facing our generation. Housing, in particular, is one of the main sources of carbon emissions in developed countries. We are optimistic by nature and think it is possible to do things differently: one that combines electrification, distributed generation, energy storage and software that enables more efficient energy management.

As you can see, we have a lot of work ahead of us, are you in?

What are you going to do? 🌱

You will be part of the initial Energy Engineering team. These will be some of your duties:

• Ensure compliance with urban planning regulations for our PV installations by detecting and mitigating any issues that may arise.
• Prepare all necessary technical documentation and complete permitting procedures promptly and with sufficient advance notice.

• Elaboration of technical reports and projects for photovoltaic and other energy transition installations
• Creating strong links with the rest of the team to ensure that Samara works as one team, giving visibility of problems and solutions.
• Work closely with our Energy Managers to ensure Samara customers get a best-in-class experience.
