About the position
Shape solar projects across the U.S. without leaving South Africa. Is this you? What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) Where you'll be doing it What you'll need What you'll get How to apply We appreciate that your CV might not be fully up to date. No problem just send us what you have. We do respond to everyone! Just give us a few days to work through your application.
You're a detail-driven electrical estimator who enjoys solving complex costing challenges. With a sharp eye for numbers and a deep understanding of solar PV systems, you're confident working independently and thrive in a remote setting. You communicate clearly, collaborate well with engineers and sales teams, and take pride in producing accurate, competitive bids.
You'll prepare comprehensive cost estimates and material take-offs for commercial and utility-scale solar projects across the U.S. Using Trimble Accubid or similar software, you'll analyse electrical drawings, interpret specifications, and liaise with sales and engineering teams to align on labour, material and risk factors. Your input will help shape competitive proposals, support project development and identify value-engineering opportunities that make a real impact.
Our client is a fast-growing U.S.-based renewable energy company focused on delivering large-scale commercial solar installations. With a fully remote structure and a collaborative international team, they're committed to excellence, innovation and making clean energy more accessible across North America.
You have at least 3 years' experience as an Electrical Estimator, ideally within solar or MEP environments. You're proficient in Trimble Accubid (or similar estimation tools) and bring a solid understanding of solar PV systems, BoQs and electrical layouts. You're comfortable working South Africa-based U.S. hours, with strong English communication skills and a knack for accuracy and analysis.
A competitive salary, flexible remote work, and the opportunity to work on high-impact U.S. clean-energy projects from the comfort of your home.
