Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and safety-conscious Solar Installation Engineer to join our renewable energy team. This role is for a technical expert capable of designing and executing full-lifecycle solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. You will be responsible for translating technical drawings into robust physical systems—covering on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid architectures. Beyond installation, you will serve as a lead troubleshooter and technical advisor, ensuring that every kilowatt-hour generated meets our rigorous standards for efficiency and safety. If you have a deep understanding of power electronics and a passion for engineering excellence in the field, we want to hear from you.
Requirements:
1. System Design & Site Engineering
Technical Assessment: Conduct comprehensive site audits, including roof integrity checks, shading analysis, and precise system sizing.
Schematic Interpretation: Read and interpret complex electrical diagrams, string layouts, and technical drawings to ensure precise installation.
Component Integration: Expertly configure and install high-capacity inverters, lithium-ion/lead-acid battery banks, and advanced charge controllers.
2. Installation & Commissioning
Full-Stack Installation: Lead the mounting, wiring, and commissioning of residential, commercial, and industrial PV systems.
Safety & Compliance: Enforce strict adherence to electrical codes and safety regulations (e.g., NEMSA or IEC standards), especially when working at heights or with high-voltage DC/AC circuits.
Power Management: Calibrate hybrid systems to optimize energy flow between the solar array, battery storage, and the grid or backup generators.
3. Maintenance & Technical Support
System Diagnostics: Perform advanced troubleshooting, thermal imaging, and performance testing to identify and resolve system bottlenecks or hardware failures.
Client Empowerment: Provide hands-on user training to clients, explaining system monitoring, basic maintenance, and safety protocols.
Documentation: Prepare detailed post-installation reports, commissioning certificates, and maintenance logs.
Qualifications and Skills:
Education & Technical Credentials
Academic Background: HND or B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related engineering discipline.
Proven Tenure: Minimum of 3 years of direct experience in solar PV installation and commissioning.
Certifications: NABCEP, COREN, or similar industry-recognized certifications are highly preferred.
Core Competencies
Electrical Mastery: Deep knowledge of DC/AC wiring, circuit protection (breakers/fuses), and earthing/lightning protection systems.
Software Proficiency: Familiarity with system design and load calculation tools (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope, or AutoCAD).
Physical Agility: Ability to work at heights and in varying outdoor weather conditions.
Problem Solving: A methodical approach to diagnosing complex electrical faults in hybrid and battery-coupled systems.
