About the position

Power up your engineering career by ensuring the performance of cutting-edge solar energy systems!

Is this you?
You're an analytical problem-solver with a knack for digging into performance data and fixing technical issues before they escalate. You pride yourself on being reliable, proactive, and safety-conscious, and thrive in a dynamic, tech-driven environment. You enjoy collaborating with teams, vendors, and clients alike-and have a genuine passion for renewable energy.

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
You'll monitor real-time and historical performance of solar PV systems, analyse KPIs, and ensure output aligns with performance guarantees. You'll plan and execute preventive and corrective maintenance, coordinate site interventions, and provide 24/7 support when needed. Your days will also include preparing technical reports, documenting activities, and ensuring compliance with local codes and safety standards. As a key liaison with stakeholders and suppliers, you'll manage service agreements, warranties, and spare parts inventory-all with the aim of delivering world-class uptime and efficiency.

Where you'll be doing it
Our client is a specialist in solar PV infrastructure, known for delivering clean energy solutions across Southern Africa. With a focus on sustainability, technical excellence, and safety, the company fosters a collaborative culture where engineers play a hands-on role in shaping the future of energy. Their head office in Gauteng supports projects nationwide, offering opportunities for meaningful fieldwork and professional growth.

What you'll need
A bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (or similar), plus 2+ years' experience in solar PV or renewable energy O&M. You'll need solid knowledge of PV components, monitoring tools (e.g., Meteocontrol, SMA), and troubleshooting. Experience with CMMS, SCADA, and hybrid systems (PV + battery or generator) will serve you well. You must have a valid driver's licence and the flexibility to travel to project sites.

What you'll get
A competitive market-related salary and the chance to work in a mission-driven, future-forward company. You'll gain exposure to diverse solar technologies and enjoy autonomy in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
