Job Summary We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced engineering manager to join our team. The successful candidate will have a minimum of 10 years of experience in the solar field core.
Responsibilities
• End-to-end design management for solar projects—from feasibility studies to commissioning.• Review project proposals and cost control measures and optimize energy yield through design optimization.• Responsible for conceptual and detailed engineering for solar PV systems (ground-mounted, rooftop, hybrid).• Ensure optimal system performance through shading analysis, tilt optimization, and inverter/load balancing.• Strong grasp of electrical engineering principles and load calculations.• Review the single-line diagrams, layout drawings, and electrical schematics for approvals.• Develop engineering standards, templates, and workflows for consistent project delivery.• Collaborate with business development and finance teams to assess technical feasibility and ROI. • Drive innovation in system design, storage integration, and performance optimization.• Proficiency with MS Project, Primavera.• Knowledge of SCADA systems & energy management systems—Solar Log, Meteo control, etc.• Stay updated with the latest advancements in solar technology and industry best practices• Managed cross-functional teams across multiple geographies across MENA, India, and Southeast Asia.• Manage multidisciplinary engineering teams (civil, electrical, structural).• Interface with clients, EPC contractors, consultants, and regulatory bodies.• Monitor KPIs like energy output, system uptime, and cost per watt.• Resolve technical bottlenecks and ensure timely delivery.• Reduced LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) through design optimization.• Experience with IPP models and open access schemes.• Experience with energy storage systems and hybrid solar installations• Validate energy yield simulations using tools like PV Syst. and Helioscope and ensure compliance with NEC, IEC, and local grid codes• Ensure grid compliance and interconnection standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, DEWA regulations).
Career Milestones
• Engineered and commissioned at least 300+ MWp of solar PV projects.• Reduced LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) by 18% through design optimization.• Led cross-border teams across MENA, India, and Southeast Asia.• Familiarity with DEWA, ADWEA, and MASDAR standards.• Experience with IPP models and open access schemes.• Knowledge of desert climate engineering challenges (e.g., dust mitigation, thermal losses). Qualifications• Bachelor’s/master’s in electrical, mechanical, or renewable energy engineering.• Certifications: NABCEP PV Installation Professional, PMP, OSHA, DEWA-approved engineer (for UAE).• Languages: English (fluent), Arabic (preferred in GCC), and technical writing proficiency.
