Design & Proposal QS Engineer (Solar PV & Electrical Systems)

About the role

This role involves creating initial PV module layout arrangements for new solar projects, interpreting civil and structural documents for design purposes, and proposing modification solutions to electrical systems for grid tie-in systems. You will be responsible for selection and sizing of equipment including PV solar modules, inverters, cables, and cable trunking, as well as technical analysis, performance, and glare simulations. The position includes implementing electrical design with SLD drawings, finalizing electrical system designs, preparing construction documents, and checking existing drawings to enhance solar PV performance on site. You will also be involved in electrical projects beyond PV solar work.
