Accurate solar plant measurements start with meticulous calibration. Build the technical foundation to keep them reliable. 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
Practical, methodical work appeals to you because getting the smallest detail right matters. You are eager to learn, comfortable following detailed technical procedures and proud of accurate records. A self-motivated problem-solver, you bring discipline, reliability and a hands-on approach to every task.
Calibrating weather station instruments from the Stellenbosch office will be at the heart of your day. You will work with solar and meteorological sensors, data loggers, calibration hardware and associated software, while preparing calibration certificates and checking supporting documentation. You will also assist with incoming and outgoing parcels. Over time, occasional site visits alongside experienced technicians can build towards field calibration work at solar power plants.
Supporting utility-scale solar power plants, this specialist technical services business focuses on the accuracy of meteorological and solar measurement instruments. The role is primarily office-based in Stellenbosch, within a technically focused environment where careful procedures, quality checks and dependable documentation underpin the work.
A Diploma at NQF Level 6 in an engineering discipline is required, preferably Mechatronics or Electrical Engineering, completed by the end of 2026. You will need strong written and verbal English communication skills and a valid driver's licence. Exposure to data loggers, meteorological equipment, solar sensors, calibration or quality control will be beneficial, though full training is provided.
Comprehensive in-house training gives you a structured start in calibration work and the chance to deepen your technical skills. As your capability grows, the role offers a clear route towards field calibration exposure at solar power plants, alongside experienced technicians.
