* Support QA/QC activities, including inspections, punch lists, and verification of corrective actions
* Oversee commissioning preparation and alignment between EPC contractor, Voltares’ Engineer, and Owner
* Prepare weekly technical progress reports, including photographic documentation
* Identify deviations, delays, or risks early and propose engineering-based mitigation measures
* Coordinate closely with E&S and HSE Officers on issues where technical works overlap with environmental, social, or safety risks
**Qualifications & Experience**
* Degree in Civil, Electrical, Structural, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering
* Minimum 3 years of experience in construction supervision of utility-scale solar PV, substations, transmission lines, or similar large infrastructure projects
* Proven experience in site supervision and QA/QC

* Strong communication, coordination, and reporting skills
* Fluent Georgian and English or German (written and spoken) are mandatory
**Additional Information**
* This is a full-time, on-site position during the construction phase
