Trilingual requirement

With brands including Trina Solar, Trina Storage and Trina Tracker, Trina Group has created a world-leading position in clean energy.

For over eight years we’ve forged a position as key talent partner to Trina Solar, for its PV modules, battery storage, tracker systems and projects businesses, placing almost 100 exceptional professionals across EMEA, the Americas and APAC.

In 2021 we were retained to deliver a large volume of new employees in a short period of time, following the company’s IPO, to support Trina’s expansion. 

Our expertise, network and deep sector knowledge helped the company meet its ambitious targets and we enjoy a successful ongoing partnership

Trilingual requirement

We have been the recruitment partner of choice for Trina Solar globally for a number of years, placing +30 professionals across their offices in EMEA, APAC and LATAM.

We were retained to source and select a trilingual (Spanish, Mandarin and English) CFO for their newly acquired solar tracker systems company, Nclave.

This was a challenging role with a host of requirements – an uncommon languages portfolio, C-level exposure in finance, company acquisitions experience, and team management of both Spanish and Chinese colleagues.

However we successfully delivered a shortlist of 5 candidate profiles and ultimately secured a high calibre candidate to join the management team.
