Solar PV Engineer- Fully Remote

About the Role

We are seeking a technically capable Solar PV Engineer with 2–3 years of relevant experience in the design, construction, installation, commissioning, or operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants.

The successful candidate will provide engineering and technical support across solar PV projects, contributing to project design, technical assessments, construction activities, system performance monitoring, or ongoing maintenance.

Candidates with practical experience in at least one of these areas will be considered. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer looking to develop their expertise in the renewable energy sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the engineering design and development of solar PV projects.
• Assist with technical assessments, feasibility studies and project documentation.
• Review solar PV layouts, electrical designs, equipment specifications and technical drawings.
• Support construction planning, installation activities and commissioning of solar PV plants.
• Coordinate with engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and project management teams.
• Monitor the performance, efficiency and reliability of solar PV installations.
• Analyse plant performance data and identify technical issues or opportunities for improvement.
• Support preventive and corrective maintenance activities.
• Assist with troubleshooting electrical, inverter, PV module and other system-related issues.
• Ensure engineering activities comply with relevant technical standards, safety requirements and project specifications.
• Prepare technical reports, progress updates and engineering documentation.
