Solar Engineering Manager / Sales Engineer

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.
