Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Solar Project Manager to oversee the full lifecycle of solar projects from technical design review to financial assessment and final delivery. The ideal candidate combines strong engineering knowledge with the ability to evaluate project economics, optimize costs, and manage procurement efficiently. Experience working with public sector procurement processes is a strong advantage, as the role will also support the acquisition of government and institutional projects.

Key Responsibilities

Design and size off-grid, grid-tied, and hybrid solar PV systems using software such as PVsyst, Helioscope, AutoCAD, or similar tools.

Conduct site assessments, energy yield analysis, and feasibility studies.

Supervise and support installation and commissioning of solar power systems.

Conduct economic, financial, and technical assessments of proposed projects, including ROI, payback period, and cost benefit analysis.

Prepare detailed project budgets, bill of quantities (BOQs) and cost optimization strategies.

Manage procurement of materials, equipment, and services — including vendor sourcing, price negotiations, and cost benchmarking.

Analyse system performance, diagnose faults, and propose efficiency improvements.

Prepare and review technical documentation, including engineering drawings, BOQs, and installation manuals.

Ensure compliance with relevant electrical and renewable energy codes and standards.

Liaise with vendors, clients, and local authorities throughout project lifecycles.

Required Skills or Experience

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

2–5 years of experience in solar PV system design and implementation.

Proficiency in PV design tools (e.g., PVsyst, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar).

Proven experience in project financial analysis, cost estimation, and economic evaluation.

Demonstrated ability to manage procurement, vendor negotiations, and material cost optimization.

Familiarity with public sector procurement processes, tendering, and proposal development.

Solid understanding of electrical circuits, batteries, inverters, and power electronics.

Knowledge of international and local solar installation standards 

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Skills

Experience with battery storage systems (e.g., Li-ion, LFP).

Familiarity with solar pumping and mini-grid systems.

Certification in solar PV installation or design (e.g., NABCEP, REIP, etc.).

Experience working in rural or off-grid solar energy and batteries system

Expert Application Advice

Technical proficiency — Confidential expects hands-on mastery of AutoCAD. Don't just list them: describe a concrete project where you used them and the outcome delivered.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Complex projects — Prepare a project example: total budget, duration, team size, major risks managed and results vs. defined indicators. Formal framework mastery (PMI, PRINCE2) is often tested.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.
