Solar PV Draughtsman at The Talent Expert

Is this you?

• You’re a self-motivated draughtsman with a passion for renewable energy. Precision and attention to detail are second nature to you, especially when you’re working with AutoCAD to bring complex designs to life. You thrive in collaborative environments, liaising with engineers to ensure every dimension, every line, and every detail aligns perfectly with project requirements. Multi-tasking across various disciplines and projects doesn’t faze you—instead, it’s where you shine.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

• In this role, you’ll be at the heart of renewable energy projects, creating both 2D and 3D technical drawings using AutoCAD software. You’ll work closely with engineers, gathering their requirements and translating them into precise designs. Your day-to-day will involve calculating dimensions, determining material requirements, and making adjustments based on project engineer feedback. This is a dynamic role where you’ll contribute to the detailed design of everything from inverter stations to solar module layouts, helping to bring innovative energy solutions to life.

Where you’ll be doing it

• Our client is a vertically integrated engineering, procurement, and construction company with a strong presence across Africa, including offices in South Africa and Kenya. As a leading Independent Power Producer (IPP), they manage every aspect of their projects, from development and construction to operation and maintenance. They are leaders in designing and constructing bespoke solar energy systems, offering full-service solutions for commercial power needs. This is an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking organisation committed to sustainability and innovation, working alongside a team dedicated to making a real impact in the energy sector.

What you’ll need

• To excel in this role, you’ll need at least 2 years of experience as a draughtsperson or designer, with a strong background in AutoCAD design software. Your ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, working across various disciplines, will be key. Educationally, you should hold a Grade 12 certificate or Technical N3 Matric Certificate, complemented by a N4/N5 Multi-Disciplinary Drawing Office Practice (MDDOP) National Certificate or an equivalent qualification. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential.

What you’ll get

• A competitive salary, and the opportunity to be part of a company that is building a sustainable future. This is more than just a job; it’s a chance to contribute to groundbreaking projects and work in an environment that values growth, innovation, and a commitment to renewable energy.
