Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Solar & Electrical System Design: Design, review, and modify detailed electrical schematic

diagrams, wiring layouts, line drawings, and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems using AutoCAD

and manual drafting tools.

• System Sizing & Load Analysis (Solar Sizing): Conduct precise electrical load calculations,

solar sizing, and component selection for off-grid, hybrid, and grid-tied solar applications, as well

as dedicated battery backup power storage systems.

• Borehole & Surface Water Pumping Solutions (Pump Sizing): Evaluate, size (pump sizing),

and design complete water pumping systems, including solar-powered, grid-connected, and

generator-driven surface or submersible pumps, ensuring seamless integration with water yields

and control panel logic.

• Solar Water Heating (SWH) Systems: Assess client needs, size, and design efficient domestic

and commercial solar water heating systems, overseeing physical installation, plumbing

integration, and thermal performance testing.

• Backup Power & Generator Integration: Design, configure, and integrate emergency backup

power systems, including diesel/petrol generators, battery banks, and Automatic Transfer

Switches (ATS) for seamless power transition during utility grid failures.

• Site Assessments & Feasibility: Conduct detailed on-site technical field assessments and

comprehensive feasibility studies to inform custom engineering designs, equipment selection, and

overall project approaches.

• Technical Specifications & Costing (BOQs): Prepare and manage comprehensive technical

documentation, material specifications, cost estimations, and detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQs)

for project proposals, client quotes, and tender applications.

• Site Installation & Supervision: Oversee and supervise all physical mechanical, electrical, and

solar installations on-site, managing field technicians, technical subcontractors, or casual laborers

to ensure works conform to engineering standards.

• Testing & Commissioning: Conduct rigorous technical testing, load checks, pressure tests, and

final commissioning of electrical networks, solar arrays, inverters, backup batteries, solar water

heaters, generators, and motorized pumping machinery before official hand-over.

• Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Repairs: Diagnose complex operational faults, isolate

systemic failures, and execute hands-on electrical and mechanical repairs. This includes servicing

faulty control panels, rewiring connections, replacing damaged solar PV modules, fixing water

heater plumbing or elements, repairing pump components, and troubleshooting inverter or backup

battery configurations.

• Regulatory & Safety Compliance: Ensure all engineering design and field deployment

practices strictly comply with local safety standards, energy sector regulations (such as

EPRA/EBK guidelines), water resource regulations, and occupational health rules.

• Data Analysis & Reporting: Analyze and interpret field technical data, monitor system

performance metrics, and compile precise progress logs, site assessment briefs, and

commissioning reports using Microsoft Excel and related project tools.

• Continuous Improvement: Stay updated on shifting industry standards, emerging engineering

technologies, and best operational practices within the electrical, solar, water services, and

renewable energy sectors.

Job Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: A Bachelor’s Degree or Professional Diploma in Electrical Engineering,

Renewable Energy Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

• Field Readiness & Extensive Travel: A strict readiness to work out in the field with

extensive travel is mandatory. Must be fully willing and able to travel regularly to

remote project locations for hands-on field operations, client engagement, and site

supervision.

• Professional Experience: 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in electrical and solar

energy engineering, with a proven track record of supervising on-site installations and

working with industrial equipment or power distribution.

• Software & Data Literacy: Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD for technical drawing

and Microsoft Excel for data analysis, performance metrics tracking, and technical

reporting.

• Sustainable Practices: A solid understanding of renewable energy system integration

and sustainable, resource-efficient engineering practices.

• Leadership & Field Execution: Demonstrated experience managing, coordinating, and

leading on-site technicians, subcontractors, or casual laborers under tight project
