Duties & Responsibilities
Design and Technical Support
- Review and optimize the electrical design drawings for energy storage projects (primary system, secondary system, control and protection, grounding, lighting, etc.).
- Ensure the design complies with relevant South African standards (such as SANS, NRS, Eskom Grid Code) and international specifications (IEC, IEEE).
- Perform electrical calculations (short‑circuit current, load calculation, cable selection, voltage drop, protection settings, etc.).
- Conduct technical reviews of design documents submitted by the client, consultant, and design institute.
Construction and Site Management
Provide electrical technical guidance to the construction team and subcontractors, and resolve technical issues during construction.Review the construction process and installation methods of electrical equipment to ensure compliance with drawings and specifications.Supervise key construction steps (high‑voltage connection, box‑type transformer / boost station installation, cable laying, battery compartment wiring, inverter grid connection, etc.).Participate in on‑site electrical quality inspections and acceptance inspections of concealed works.Equipment and Materials Management
Review and confirm technical specifications for major electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, protection devices, battery systems, inverters, UPS, SCADA systems, etc.).Participate in equipment FAT (factory acceptance testing), SAT (site acceptance testing), and commissioning tests.Track equipment arrival, inspection, and storage to ensure compliance with design.Commissioning and Grid Connection
Participate in the commissioning, functional testing, and grid connection testing of energy storage systems.Collaborate with system integrators to complete the commissioning of electrical protection, monitoring systems, and SCADA / EMS interfaces.Responsible for the identification and rectification of electrical defects during the commissioning process.Liaise with South African power grid companies (such as Eskom or municipal power companies) to ensure grid connection compliance.Safety and Quality
Ensure all electrical construction activities comply with the OHS Act and on‑site HSE requirements.Develop and implement electrical safety operating procedures and technical briefings.Participate in electrical quality inspections, rectifications, and final handover.Desired Experience & Qualification
