Job description

Solar Engineering Manager / Sales Engineer — Ballito, KZN

We're an independent power producer — we own the solar assets and hold the PPA agreements with our commercial clients. Installation is outsourced, so we need a technically strong engineer to protect our interests end-to-end: from feasibility through installation oversight to ongoing performance.

What you'll do:

Lead technical delivery on commercial solar installations (office buildings) — site assessments, system sizing/design, equipment selection, and installation quality control through to commissioning and sign-off
Oversee our outsourced installation partners, ensuring work is compliant, safe, and properly integrated with existing electrical infrastructure
Provide ongoing technical support and troubleshooting post-installation, and monitor system performance over time
Conduct feasibility studies that translate technical findings into clear cost/savings comparisons against municipal tariffs — this analysis underpins every client proposal we put forward
Help grow our pipeline: identify viable properties and support business development as we scale

What we're looking for:

Qualified Electrical Engineer with hands-on solar/renewable installation experience — not just design, but real site delivery
Solid grasp of grid-tie/hybrid systems, inverters, battery storage, and relevant compliance standards (COC, NRS 097, municipal grid-tie requirements)
Experience identifying viable sites, running feasibility studies, and managing installations and client relationships through to performance monitoring
Comfortable engaging directly with clients on technical findings
Entrepreneurial background

This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial engineering professional to play a pivotal role in building and growing a commercial solar asset portfolio while contributing directly to the long-term success and value creation of the business. A competitive basic salary will be offered, together with an opportunity to participate in the company's growth through a profit share component.
