A driven Renewable Design Engineer / Estimator for conceptual design of solar developments and detailed design of solar projects. The conceptual design will involve collecting preliminary site information, performing site layouts, and iterating different technology cases /scenarios to optimizing energy output of the solar PV power plant.
Successful Candidate will be responsible for electrical calculations and designs, preparation of bill of materials, Project Cost estimate, detailed construction designs, as-built drawings, RFI, RFQ, and.
In this role, you will also work closely with our sales and project execution team.

Specifically, the position will involve some or all of the following:

Design solar solutions for projects – Mini-Grid, Roof Tops, etc.
Provide cost estimate for projects based on prepared design, drawing and BOQs.
Preparing SLD, Site Layout
Performing electrical calculations (cable sizing, Breakers, Grounding studies)
Materials / Equipment selection – Cables, Inverters, charge controllers, ESS, transformers, ATS, etc.
liaise with suppliers / vendor / OEM for favorable quote

Qualifications

Degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering / Renewable Energy Engineering. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent written & verbal communication skills. Previous internship and/or related consulting experience (preferred).
Candidates must have sound experience with the following:
Minimum of 8 - 10 years of professional experience performing solar engineering design (required).
Electrical distribution systems at 11kV and 33kV power levels
Able to perform Electrical calculations.
Knowledge of electrical design theory and concepts.
Knowledge of IEC, NEC Code and AC/DC Design Theory.
Ability to work collaboratively with others towards resolving design or drawing issues as appropriate and to accomplish objectives.
Ability to independently complete required design
Ability to independently perform power optimization studies using PVsyst to meet client requirements or propose feasible options for any given site.
COREN Certification is an added advantage.
