About the position

Play a leading role in the energy transition as a specialist consultant in a fast-growing, mission-driven firm!

Is this you?
You're a detail-oriented and analytical engineer who thrives in a collaborative team environment. You enjoy mentoring others, managing client relationships, and solving complex technical problems. You take initiative, communicate effectively, and work well both independently and in a team. You're excited by the opportunity to make a tangible impact in the renewable energy sector.

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
You'll be conducting advanced protection coordination and arc flash studies, while also delivering broader power system studies such as grid code compliance and grid impact assessments. You'll mentor and support junior engineers, manage projects across budgets and resources, and help grow the client base through strong relationships. Your work will support projects across South Africa and the broader African continent, working with teams locally and in the UK.

Where you'll be doing it
Our client is a dynamic energy consultancy with a global reputation for solving complex power system challenges. With a rich history of over two decades, this employee-owned business champions innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. You'll join a passionate team dedicated to accelerating the energy transition through strategic and technical expertise.

What you'll need
You'll need a Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechatronic Engineering, along with experience in protection settings, arc flash studies, and tools like DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Familiarity with the South African Grid Code is essential. A postgraduate degree and ECSA registration are highly desirable, as is experience with EMT studies, CDEGS/XGSLab, or on-site protection testing.

What you'll get
You'll enjoy 21 days of annual leave (plus your birthday off!), a discretionary performance bonus, hybrid working, and opportunities for rapid career development. You'll also benefit from professional membership support and being part of an inclusive, employee-owned company where your voice matters.
