Project Engineer - LSS (Site Based)

Role Overview

The Project Engineer drives the end-to-end delivery of solar PV projects — from confirmation through commissioning — ensuring they are executed safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Management & Execution

• Lead the full project lifecycle from project award to handover, covering engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC).

• Prepare and manage project estimates, budgets, schedules, and execution plans; monitor progress against both financial and timeline targets.

• Coordinate with project supervisors, consultants, main contractors, subcontractors, and inter-departmental teams to ensure aligned delivery.

• Manage material procurement and subcontracting activities through the ERP system.

• Stakeholder & Authority Management

• Liaise with TNB HQ, local authorities, and consulting firms on grid interconnection, meter installation, licensing, and documentation.

• Coordinate with upper management on project status, key milestones, risks, and changes to approved scope.

• Establish and maintain working relationships with the O&M team to minimise operational disruption during project execution.

• Engineering & Design

• Conduct engineering site surveys for solar PV system installation.

• Review detailed design drawings and specifications; coordinate with designers on electrical, structural, and mechanical aspects of the solar PV system.

• Monitor engineering progress against approved budgets and forecasted schedules.

• Quality, Safety & Commissioning

• Ensure all parties adhere to established safety and QA/QC programmes throughout the project lifecycle.

• Establish QA/QC control and commissioning systems with complete documentation.

• Set up remote monitoring systems and conduct testing and commissioning of the solar PV system.

• Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Prepare and submit accurate, timely progress and status reports throughout the project.

• Lead risk assessments and actively manage project and business risks.

• Organise post-mortem reviews to evaluate project outcomes, surface lessons learned, and recommend improvements for future projects.

Requirements

• Bachelor degree in electrical engineering or equivalent (Preferably electrical engineering or working related to electrical)
• Working experience in construction field, TNB or Project management.
• Experience in handling the multi-disciplinary scopes — including Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical works — will be considered an added advantage.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in project engineering or a related field, with a focus on solar energy projects. However, we encourage fresh graduates to apply.
• Strong technical knowledge of solar PV systems and related engineering standards.
• Proficient in project management tools and software, such as MS Project and AutoCAD.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and work under pressure to meet deadlines.
• Willingness to travel to project sites as needed.
