Renewable Energy Engineer

About the position

Design a greener future - take the lead on cutting-edge solar projects across South Africa.

Is this you?
You're a solution-driven engineer with a passion for renewable energy and a knack for turning complex data into practical, real-world designs. You're equally comfortable behind CAD software and collaborating with teams to bring proposals to life. Detail-oriented, proactive, and eager to contribute to the transition toward sustainable energy, you're now looking for your next opportunity to make an impact.

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
You'll be creating and refining solar PV system designs for commercial and industrial installations, supporting both the sales and technical teams with layouts, drawings, and proposal documents. Your day-to-day will involve PV simulations, CAD drafting, technical documentation, and ensuring compliance with electrical and renewable energy standards. You'll enjoy the hands-on involvement across the project lifecycle, knowing that your work directly contributes to clean energy delivery.

Where you'll be doing it
You'll be joining a well-established renewable energy company specialising in end-to-end solar PV solutions for commercial and industrial clients. With a reputation for engineering excellence and a strong foothold in South Africa's growing clean energy sector, this organisation fosters a collaborative, innovative environment that values sustainability, technical rigour, and real-world results. Office-based in Gauteng, you'll be at the heart of a close-knit, impact-driven team.

What you'll need
An Electrical Engineering qualification (N-Dip, BTech or BEng) is essential, alongside experience with AutoCAD (or similar) and PV design tools such as Helioscope, PVsyst, or PVSol. You'll bring experience from the electrical or renewable energy sectors, and you must be South African, based in Gauteng, and hold a valid driver's licence and passport.

What you'll get
You'll earn a competitive salary aligned to your experience, along with the opportunity to develop your expertise in a growing, future-focused sector. You'll be part of a purpose-driven business where your contribution truly matters.
