• Install and commission solar energy systems — panels, mounting structures, inverters, charge controllers, and combiner boxes
• Deploy and configure CCTV and security systems — cameras, NVR/DVR units, cabling, and network integration
• Perform grounding/earthing, cable dressing, and labeling in accordance with standards

Testing & Commissioning

• Conduct power-on testing, voltage/current verification, and battery capacity/discharge testing
• Configure rectifier parameters (float/boost voltage, current limits) and verify charging behavior
• Commission solar systems and validate generation output against design
• Test CCTV coverage, recording, remote access, and network connectivity
• Troubleshoot faults and resolve on-site technical issues

Documentation & Coordination

• Prepare site reports, as-built documentation, test records, and commissioning checklists
• Coordinate with project managers, site teams, subcontractors, and client representatives
• Ensure compliance with client technical specifications and telecom standards
• Enforce safety protocols and proper use of PPE on site

Process & Tools

• Initial submissions via WhatsApp (photos and site updates) / ClickUp / AppSheet
• Final storage and organization in Google Suite / Microsoft Suite
• Ongoing integration with ClickUp for project tracking and monitoring

Additional Responsibilities

• Identify inefficiencies in current workflows
• Recommend and implement automation solutions (AI/tools)
• Support internal process improvements to reduce manual work

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics/Communications Engineering, or a related field (NON-BOARD PASSERS ARE WELCOME)
• Hands-on experience with telecom power systems — batteries, rectifiers/DC power plants, and power core installations
• Working knowledge of solar PV system installation and configuration is a plus
• Experience installing and configuring CCTV/security systems is a plus
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and installation drawings
• Willingness to travel and work at remote field sites across Visayas and Mindanao

Preferred

• RME/REE license or Electronics Engineer (ECE/ECT) certification

• Familiarity with telecom site standards and BTS/tower power requirements

• Knowledge of grounding systems, surge protection, and power distribution

• Basic networking skills (IP configuration for CCTV/NVR systems)

• Valid driver's license

• Experienced with Google Workspace / Microsoft Office

• Basic understanding of automation tools or AI is an advantage

• Minimum 1-3 years of relevant experience required

• Highly detail-oriented (especially with serial numbers and photo validation)
• Organized and process-driven
• Able to work independently across multiple projects
• Willing to be deployed in Visayas and Mindanao
• Proactive in improving systems and workflows

Competencies

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Attention to detail and commitment to safety
• Able to work independently and manage site priorities
• Good documentation and reporting discipline
