Lead a landmark renewable energy project where your expertise will drive real infrastructure impact and long-term sustainability. 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?
You're a disciplined project leader who thrives in complex EPC environments where deadlines, quality, safety and stakeholder expectations all matter equally. Calm under pressure, you know how to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned while managing moving parts across construction, procurement and commissioning. Strong communication, commercial awareness and a proactive mindset allow you to spot risks early and drive practical solutions before they become problems.
You'll take ownership of the day-to-day delivery of a major Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage project powering critical infrastructure. From planning schedules and coordinating contractors to managing NEC contract processes, cost control and reporting, your role will sit at the centre of project execution. You'll oversee progress tracking, risk mitigation, quality compliance and stakeholder coordination while ensuring delivery remains on time and within budget. You'll enjoy this role because it offers genuine impact, technical complexity and the opportunity to lead a nationally significant renewable energy project from construction through to commissioning.
You'll join a respected renewable energy and infrastructure business known for delivering sustainable power solutions across Africa. The environment is collaborative, fast paced and built around accountability, innovation and long-term partnerships, with a strong reputation for technical excellence and project delivery standards.
A degree in Engineering together with 7-10 years' EPC or infrastructure project management experience is essential. Strong NEC contract administration expertise, renewable energy exposure and solid knowledge of PV, BESS and electrical construction environments will secure your success. Experience with MS Project, Primavera, cost control systems and project reporting is required, while PMP, PrEng or similar certifications would be advantageous.
In return, you'll secure the opportunity to work on a flagship renewable energy project within a highly respected business focused on sustainable infrastructure growth. Along with a competitive package, you'll gain exposure to large-scale energy delivery projects and a collaborative leadership environment where your expertise will be valued.
