• Prepare system layouts, single-line diagrams (SLD), electrical designs, equipment specifications, and other relevant technical drawings.
• Perform system sizing, energy yield calculations, performance analysis, and technical evaluations.
• Select suitable solar PV modules, inverters, mounting systems, cables, protection devices, and other balance-of-system components.
• Review technical specifications and recommend appropriate solutions to optimise system performance and cost efficiency.

2. Technical Support for Sales & Business Development

• Provide technical support to the Sales team during customer discussions, site assessments, proposal preparation, and tender submissions.
• Assist in preparing technical proposals, system configurations, specifications, and cost estimates.
• Review customer requirements and recommend appropriate solar solutions based on technical feasibility and operational needs.
• Attend technical presentations, meetings, and discussions with customers when required.
• Respond to technical queries from customers and internal stakeholders.

3. Project & Installation Support

• Provide technical guidance and support throughout the project implementation and installation stages.
• Review installation drawings, method statements, equipment specifications, and technical submissions.
• Coordinate with project teams, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and relevant stakeholders on technical matters.
• Conduct site inspections to ensure installation works comply with approved designs, specifications, safety requirements, and applicable standards.
• Identify technical issues during project implementation and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
• Support project teams in resolving site constraints, design changes, and installation-related issues.

4. Testing, Commissioning & Troubleshooting

• Support testing and commissioning activities for completed solar PV systems.
• Verify system functionality and performance against approved designs and project requirements.
• Conduct troubleshooting and technical investigations for system faults, underperformance, equipment failures, or operational issues.
• Analyse system monitoring data and recommend corrective or preventive actions where necessary.
• Provide technical support for maintenance and after-sales activities when required.

5. Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve solar system design, installation methodology, system performance, and operational efficiency.
• Keep updated on emerging renewable energy technologies, including solar PV, energy storage systems (BESS), EV charging, and related energy solutions.
• Share technical knowledge and best practices with internal teams.
• Perform any other technical or project-related duties assigned by the immediate superior or Management.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or other relevant engineering disciplines.
• Registration with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as a Graduate Engineer would be an added advantage
• Preferably 2–5 years of relevant working experience in solar PV, renewable energy, electrical engineering, or related technical/project environments, however fresh graduates are welcome to apply
• Experience in commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects would be an added advantage.
• Fresh graduates with strong technical knowledge and relevant internship/project exposure may also be considered for a junior position.
• Good understanding of solar PV system design, electrical systems, and renewable energy concepts.
• Knowledge of PV modules, inverters, mounting structures, electrical protection systems, and related solar components.
