Role Responsibilities
Engineering Delivery Across Renewable Energy Technologies
- Deliver engineering services across a wide range of renewable energy projects, including Solar PV, Wind, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and hybrid solutions.
- Lead or review technical designs, calculations, and specifications to ensure solutions are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.
- Provide senior technical input across the full project lifecycle, from concept and feasibility through to commissioning and early operations.
Project Management & Client Delivery
- Manage projects and client engagements end‑to‑end, including scope definition, programme planning, risk management, reporting, and stakeholder coordination.
- Act as the primary technical interface with clients, contractors, utilities, and regulators throughout the project.
- Ensure projects are delivered in line with agreed technical, commercial, and quality expectations.
Multi‑Disciplinary & Specialist Collaboration
- Work closely with multi‑disciplinary teams (electrical, civil, mechanical, environmental, commercial, and advisory) to deliver complex renewable energy projects.
- Collaborate with internal specialists across technical and advisory disciplines, including grid, environmental and social, financial, and regulatory experts.
- Coordinate inputs from multiple stakeholders to ensure integrated and coherent technical solutions.
Innovation, Tools & Ways of Working
- Contribute to improving and innovating how renewable energy solutions are designed and delivered, including tools, methodologies, digital ways of working, and efficiency improvements.
- Identify opportunities to standardise, optimise, and streamline technical processes and project delivery approaches.
- Support the adoption of new technologies, modelling tools, and best practices relevant to the Kenyan and regional renewable energy market.
Technical Assurance, Risk & Compliance
- Identify and manage technical, construction, and operational risks across renewable energy projects.
- Ensure compliance with Kenyan regulations, international standards, grid codes, and lender technical requirements.
- Support or lead technical due diligence activities for investors, lenders, and development partners.
Mentorship & Technical Leadership
- Provide technical guidance, quality assurance, and mentorship to junior and mid‑level engineers.
- Set and uphold technical standards and best practices across renewable energy projects.
- Contribute to building long‑term renewable energy engineering capability within the organisation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical engineering.
- Professional Registration with a local professional body.
- 8-15 years’ relevant experience, preferably in a consulting environment.
- Proven experience delivering renewable energy projects, specifically Solar PV, Wind, and BESS (e.g., development, design, owner’s engineer, EPC support, construction/commissioning support).
- Experience in early-stage renewable project development, including prospecting and energy modelling.
