Context of the job opening
ROSI Energy Iberia is preparing the development and industrial deployment of its first site in Spain to launch a virtuous photovoltaic recycling sector in the country.

- Support the build-up of the local organization and prepare the future operational set-up of the site (hiring, organization etc.).
- Promote high standards in health & safety, compliance, and professional project execution.
