About the Opportunity If you've been involved in integrating inverters, batteries and monitoring systems, and you enjoy solving real system challenges, this will feel familiar. Is this you? You are comfortable working across design, commissioning and client discussions, understand communication protocols like Modbus and TCP/IP, and can quickly identify how components should connect, where things can go wrong, and how to fix them. You are not just designing systems; you are considering how they behave in the real world. What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it) You will take ownership of how monitoring and control solutions are designed, positioned and deployed across a growing solar PV portfolio, with a strong focus on Meteocontrol. You will support sales teams with system design and technical input during client engagements, design monitoring and control architectures across commercial and hybrid systems, produce system layouts, communication structures and basic SLDs, ensure compatibility between inverters, storage systems and monitoring platforms, work closely with commissioning teams supporting integration, setup and optimisation, and step in when systems do not behave as expected remotely or on site. Where you’ll be doing it Our client is a well-established player in the solar sector, supplying integrated PV solutions, technical support and engineering expertise across South Africa and the wider Sub‑Saharan region. With operations in Cape Town and Johannesburg, a strong partner network, and a portfolio that includes monitoring, storage, inverters and broader solar infrastructure, they offer a collaborative environment where technical capability and customer service are highly valued. What you’ll need A degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or similar, is preferred, along with 3–5+ years’ experience in solar PV or energy systems. You should bring proven exposure to technical sales or solutions engineering, PV design and integration, and monitoring, SCADA or energy management systems. Strong knowledge of PV architecture, data acquisition and communication protocols such as Modbus and TCP/IP is essential, while Meteocontrol and major inverter or storage platform experience will be a strong advantage. What you’ll get You will join a technically strong team where your input matters. This role gives you the opportunity to take ownership of a critical part of the solution stack and shape how monitoring and control systems are deployed across the business. The salary is market related and aligned to your experience. #J-18808-Ljbffr
