Senior Solar Engineer (DEWA Solar PV Expert, Senior)

THE ROLE

Serve as the Named Technical Authority for the Company to

enrol with DEWA for all low voltage work and to register as a Dubai

Municipality contractor, and hold the engineering standard for every

system the company builds.

Reports to: Managing Director.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Certification and enrolment. Hold and maintain DEWA Solar PV Expert,

Senior, act as the company's nominated senior expert on the DEWA

enrolment file, and keep the certified staff requirement satisfied at

all times as project sizes and volumes change.

- Technical sign off. No design, regulatory submission or energisation

leaves the company without senior review and signature.

- Regulator interface. Own DEWA for distributed generation, Dubai

Municipality for the contractor register technical file and competency

certificate compliance across all technical staff, and Dubai Civil

Defence where storage is in scope.

- Engineering standard. Set and maintain the design library, technical

specification, approved equipment list checked against DEWA eligibility,

inspection and test plans, commissioning protocols, and the workmanship

warranty position.

- Certification pipeline. Plan and sponsor every engineer's route from

competency certificate to DEWA Junior to DEWA Senior, so that no single

certificate is a single point of failure for the company.

- Team leadership. Lead the engineering function, set the standard of

review, and manage the Solar Engineer and Junior Solar Engineer layers.

- Vendor governance. Prequalify subcontractors against DEWA enrolment

and Dubai Municipality registration, review method statements, attend

hold points, and formally accept subcontracted works.

- Commercial support. Provide buildability, risk and cost input at bid

stage, and act as the technical voice in front of customers and

investors.
