  • Draw up tender specifications and bills of quantities for electrical works
  • Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097

  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
  • BEng or BSc Eng in Electrical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist posts
