About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it takes to turn sunlight into reliable, real-world power? As a Solar Engineer with us, you'll get to shape the future of renewable energy, taking projects from a simple sketch all the way through to a fully operational solar installation. If you love solving complex technical puzzles and want to see your designs make a genuine impact in people’s lives—and on the planet—this is a unique opportunity to do just that. With the solar industry booming in the region, your expertise will be front and center, driving innovation where it matters most.
About the Company
We’re a passionate team dedicated to accelerating clean energy across Mohammed Bin and beyond. What makes us tick? Collaboration, learning, and a shared mission: making sustainable power accessible for everyone. You’ll find engineers debating the latest tech over morning coffee, and Friday knowledge-sharing sessions are never skipped. We’re not a giant corporate machine—everyone has a voice here, and every win feels personal. Growth is part of our DNA, and we celebrate the milestones, big and small, together.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading the end-to-end design of solar PV systems, from site surveys to final execution
- Creating detailed electrical designs, single-line diagrams, and system layouts tailored to each unique project
- Engineering and integrating battery storage and off-grid solutions to maximize project performance
- Collaborating closely with team members and contractors to ensure seamless project delivery—no siloed work here!
- Overseeing project execution on-site, troubleshooting installations, and ensuring quality standards are met every step of the way
- Keeping up-to-date with the latest industry best practices and sharing your learnings in our regular team sessions
- Preparing and reviewing technical documentation, reports, and proposals for clients and stakeholders
- Offering technical input during client consultations and helping to set realistic expectations
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Minimum 3 years’ hands-on experience in the solar industry (PV design, electrical design, battery storage, and off-grid systems)
- Background in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a closely related field
- Advanced skills in solar PV system design software (such as PVsyst, AutoCAD, or similar)
- Strong command of electrical design principles and standards within the solar sector
- Currently based in Mohammed Bin and ready for site travel when needed
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with hybrid solar systems integration
- Familiarity with local regulations and permitting processes
- Excellent communication skills—you can explain tech to non-techies
- Past experience with project management or leading small teams
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses—they really do add up!
- Flexible work arrangements: office, site—and optional remote days for focused design work
- Opportunities for continuous learning and sponsored certifications in renewable energy
- Supportive, hands-on team with a flat hierarchy and open communication culture
- Modern tools and tech—plus the freedom to recommend (and try out) new solutions
- Regular team outings, company breakfasts, and yes, those infamous Friday knowledge shares
Bring your expertise and your curiosity. Here, you won’t be just another engineer—you’ll be part of a fast-growing crew making real change, one project at a time.
