Solar Engineer/Technician (Junior and Senior)

🌞 WE'RE HIRING: SOLAR DESIGN ENGINEER / TECHNICIAN (Junior & Senior)

Location: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and Labuan

At Easy Solar Sdn Bhd, every good solar project starts at the drawing board. We're looking for a Design Engineer who can turn a rooftop, a load profile and a client's budget into a system that is safe, compliant, buildable and performs as promised.

You'll be the technical backbone behind our proposals and projects. You'll work closely with Sales to win the job and with Project Delivery to make sure what gets built matches what was designed.

What You'll Do

• Site Assessment: Conduct site surveys covering roof condition, orientation, shading, structure, and existing electrical infrastructure. Gather the data that makes a design accurate.
• System Design: Design residential, C&I and hybrid PV systems, including module layout, string sizing, inverter selection, and cable and protection sizing.
• Energy Yield & Sizing: Run yield simulations and shading analysis with PVsyst, Helioscope or similar tools. Size hybrid and BESS systems against the client's actual load profile.
• Drawings & Documentation: Prepare SLDs, PV layouts, cable routing and earthing drawings in AutoCAD. Produce accurate BOQs that Procurement and Project teams can build from.
• Sales & Proposal Support: Support the sales team with technical proposals, system options, savings estimates and ROI calculations. Join client meetings to explain the design clearly and confidently.
• Authority Submissions: Prepare design documents and drawings for Energy Commission of Sabah (ECOS) and utility applications, and respond to authority comments.
• Design-to-Site Handover: Brief the project team and subcontractors on the design. Support technical queries during installation, and update as-built drawings after completion.
• Continuous Improvement: Keep up to date with new products, standards and best practices. Help build our design templates and standards.

Two Levels, One Team

Junior Design Engineer / Technician

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering
• 0–2 years of experience. Fresh graduates with strong interest in solar are welcome.
• Basic AutoCAD skills, and the ability to read and draw SLDs
• Works under the guidance of senior engineers on residential and small C&I designs

Senior Design Engineer

• Degree in Electrical or a related engineering field
• 3+ years in solar PV design, with a proven track record on C&I or large-scale projects
• Designs independently from survey to final drawings, and reviews and signs off designs by junior staff
• Strong command of PVsyst (or equivalent), protection coordination and grid-connection requirements
• Experience with hybrid, BESS or genset-integrated systems is highly preferred
• Able to lead technical discussions with clients, consultants and authorities

What We Look For (Both Levels)

• Careful, detail-minded working style. You check your string calculations twice.
• Good understanding of electrical fundamentals such as voltage drop, cable sizing, protection and earthing
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Excel
• Good written and spoken English and Bahasa Malaysia
• Willingness to travel for site surveys across Sabah, including rural areas
• Valid Class 'D' driving licence

Added Advantage

• GCPV Design and/or Installation certification (ECOS/SEDA-recognised)
• Chinese speaking ability, especially for client communication
• Experience with NEM, SELCO or large-scale solar projects
• Familiarity with SketchUp, Helioscope or other 3D/layout tools
• ECOS competency (Chargeman / Wireman)
