• Design single-line diagrams (SLD), electrical schematics, and system layouts for residential and commercial solar projects.
• Prepare detailed PVsyst reports for energy simulations, shading analysis, and system performance predictions.
• Prepare project technical proposals based on site conditions.

Engineering Calculations:

• Conduct power load calculations and voltage drop calculations to ensure proper system sizing and integration with the existing electrical infrastructure.
• Perform solar PV system efficiency calculations and optimization for maximum performance.

Project Documentation & Cost Estimation:

• Prepare tender documentation, including technical specifications, cost estimation, and preliminary design proposals (if company bids for tender projects).
• Assist in the preparation of risk assessments, material submissions, work statements, and other basic safety documentation.
• Support project costing and work on materials procurement, coordinating with suppliers to ensure on-time delivery.

Project Coordination & Management:

• Collaborate with the project management team to ensure project milestones are met on time, within scope, and on budget.
• Monitor daily site activities, track progress, and coordinate with clients, suppliers, and subcontractors to ensure smooth project execution.
• Provide weekly progress reports to clients and senior management, highlighting key milestones, issues, and updates.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement:

• Attend weekly meetings with clients, consultants, and suppliers to review project status, technical challenges, and ensure effective communication across teams.
• Manage client expectations by addressing concerns, proposing solutions, and delivering on the project’s goals.

System Integration & Testing:

• Ensure the successful integration of solar PV systems into the existing electrical grid by overseeing electrical connections, cable tray installations, and system commissioning.
• Assist in the testing and commissioning of the solar system and support the team in troubleshooting any technical issues that arise during the process.

Safety & Compliance:

• Adhere to safety protocols and building codes during all stages of project execution, ensuring compliance with local and international standards.
• Participate in the preparation of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals and close-out documentation.

Continuous Improvement:

• Contribute to process improvements and efficiencies in system design, execution, and project management.
• Stay updated with the latest solar technologies and industry best practices to enhance system performance and cost-effectiveness.

Candidates familiar with authorities' document submissions (SCDF, RSAF, and SPPG) are preferred.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3–4 years of hands-on experience in solar design, project execution, and system optimization.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, PVsyst, Revit, and other design software.
• Strong knowledge of solar PV system design, shading analysis, power load calculations, and voltage drop calculations.
• Excellent skills in project management, cost estimation, and client communication.
• Familiarity with building codes, safety procedures, and regulatory compliance for solar installations.
• Experience in testing and commissioning of solar PV systems.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and a team-oriented mindset.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
