    • Support the Project Team with technical input during installation and commissioning, troubleshooting any design-related issues that arise.
  • Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement:
    • Implement quality control checks to ensure accuracy and functionality of designs before project deployment.
    • Stay informed about advancements in solar PV technology, battery storage, and regulatory changes, integrating best practices into the design process.

  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical skills to conduct feasibility analysis, identify design solutions, and optimise system efficiency.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and presenting technical information to clients.
