Giovanni
Technical Asset Manager in Italy
“This is my first real work experience and it has immediately been full of teachings: I’m learning both many technical aspects about PV and how to collaborate in a big company with colleagues from other departments.
Since the beginning, I have very much appreciated the attention that Smart Energies pays to environmental protection, which is a key aspect in this time of climate emergency. There is a lot of attention both to the way of working for the construction of future plants and in the presentation of “alternative projects”: the existence of a “Comité de Mission” or team buildings such as the clean-up in the forest, are very important to actuate this “environmentalist” spirit in a different way.”
Marco
International technical director
“In the technical department of Smart Energies, we believe in leading by example, aligning technical expertise with purpose.
I’m proud to be part of a team where a diverse group of people, each with unique perspectives, come together to build a more sustainable future.
We value collaboration, transparency and we apply a people-centered approach to our problems, shaping not only the way we face our work, but also the purpose that drives us every day.
It’s a place where everyone contributes, from the most junior engineer to the most senior manager; like a PV plant, it is not about one module, but how our system work as a whole.”
Sylvain
Sales Manager
“I’ve been with Smart Energies for seven years now, and I’ve been able to grow in a company that is people-oriented, ambitious, and smart. I started as an Agricultural Regional Developer, and thanks to the trust placed in me, I was able to move up to the position of Sales Manager. Every day, we develop new projects that are different but all rewarding and relevant, thanks to the dynamic and motivated people who work at Smart Energies. We can truly say that we bring real value to the land we develop, whether for agricultural, tertiary, logistics, or industrial projects.”
Hélène
Project Financing and M&A Manager
“I have been with Smart Energies for just over three years now, and making a real contribution to the energy transition remains a real source of motivation on a daily basis!
What I particularly appreciate is being able to work on exciting projects on a European scale (France, Italy, Greece, etc.) while evolving in a dynamic, human-sized environment. Despite its strong growth, Smart Energies has managed to remain agile: initiative is encouraged, and everyone can really make an impact.
It is this collective energy and the commitment of each individual that make Smart Energies what it is today… We know about solar energy, but it is the energy of our teams that clearly makes the difference.”
Maxime
Maintenance Manager, Western France
“Smart Energies is a well-established company in its field, with employees who are passionate about photovoltaics. As maintenance manager, what I enjoy is combining technical aspects with human relations, all with freedom of action and organization.
It’s a balance that suits me.”
Cynthia
Office Manager
“I joined Smart in 2018 as Office Manager. At the time, there were about 15 of us; today, there are more than 100! My role has naturally evolved with this growth: I have taken on new responsibilities, led more projects, and I still have the same desire to contribute to a meaningful collective. Being an Office Manager means supporting the team on a daily basis, building relationships, and facilitating working conditions for everyone. What I appreciate here is the diversity of tasks, the autonomy I am given, and the trust placed in me. I have grown with Smart, I have learned a lot, and I still feel completely at home here. People, cooperation, and collective energy are at the heart of what makes me want to continue the adventure.”
Alexandre
International & New Business Director
“I joined Smart Energies in 2021 after ten years of experience in developing infrastructure and renewable energy projects in France and internationally.
I was immediately drawn to the entrepreneurial adventure: opening up new countries and diversifying activities.
Since my arrival, we have established a new subsidiary in Athens, Greece. We have acquired projects already in operation there and developed and built our own power plants.
We have also developed our first storage projects in France and Italy and initiated solar project developments in the Nordics.
What is exciting on a daily basis is obviously the diversity of the tasks entrusted to me, but it is also working with a committed team from very diverse backgrounds.
I am very attached to Smart’s culture, which has remained highly agile in a context of strong growth and which promotes exchange and team spirit on a daily basis.”
Emma
Photovoltaic Operations and Research Engineer
“My journey at Smart Energies began with an end-of-studies internship in September 2022, which then turned into a full-time job. This transition has been an enriching and rewarding experience in many ways.
From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the working atmosphere and camaraderie within the company. My colleagues are not only competent and professional, but also warm and welcoming. This positive atmosphere has greatly contributed to my professional and personal development.
Smart Energies’ values resonate deeply with my own beliefs. The company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in the field of renewable energy is particularly inspiring. As a member of the mission committee, I have the opportunity to actively contribute to the continuous improvement of the company. This role allows me to participate in initiatives that have a real and positive impact on the environment.
Another aspect I particularly appreciate is the working environment. Our offices offer a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, which adds a touch of magic to our working days. Working in such an inspiring setting is a real privilege.
I am proud to be part of a dedicated and passionate team, and I am excited to continue contributing to the company’s mission. I highly recommend Smart Energies to anyone looking to join an innovative and committed company.”
Adèle-Ambre
Junior Operations Manager
“I began my journey in the construction department in February 2022.
Then, eager to learn about the technical aspects of our projects, I joined the operations department in July 2024. My role is, on the one hand, to support the development department in the design of our future projects by producing technical documentation and, on the other hand, to ensure the smooth operation of our existing power plants, the number of which is constantly growing.
Today, I am fortunate to be part of an agile and supportive team, which allows me to develop my expertise a little more each day, while actively contributing to building a greener and more responsible world.”
