Project Engineer - Solar PV

The Project Engineer needs to assist the Engineering Manager with all engineering related matters. This includes the designing of renewable energy systems, accurately predicting project costings, accurately calculating system productions, and ensuring the designed systems are robust in operation. The Solar PV Project Engineer must continually be kept up to date with new technological developments in the Solar PV and Energy Storage Industry.

Design Engineering

• Analyse the technical information, including RFP and tenders, and generate the required compiled documents, considering creative and advanced solutions that would reduce cost, time, and optimise the project’s performance.
• Must have designed projects above 1MW ground mount.
• Prepare bill of quantities for specific projects and for the project infrastructures.
• Generate preliminary layouts on AutoCAD, Helioscope, PV Case, Helios 3D or other similar software.
• Perform site visits and, if necessary, measure sites where the drawings are not available.
• Perform desktop analysis and prepare site layouts and energy yield assessments.
• Generate electrical schematics such as SLDs (Single Line Diagrams) aligned with the SANS, NRS and IEC Standards.
• Perform yield assessments using simulation software such as PVSYST and Helioscope following the rules and guidelines defined by the Engineering Manager.
• Work with the central engineering team to produce detailed engineering drawings, technical descriptions, and technical calculations for the engineering signoffs, construction drawings, drawings for project licensing, EPC and execution.
