Senior Engineer at Miale Solar Inventions Ltd

About the Role

• Miale Solar Solutionsis strengthening its engineering functionto ensure every project is designed, delivered, and quality-controlled to a consistently high standard. We are recruiting a Senior Engineer to take ownership of engineering design and technical oversight across our project portfolio, combining hands-on project engineering and project management with rigorous quality assurance and quality control.
• This role will also serve as the key technical link to the Procurement team, ensuring equipment specifications, vendor evaluations, and technical compliance are properly assessed and upheld. More broadly, the Senior Engineer supports project delivery and engineering governance, helping to buildconsistent standards, processes, and accountability acrossthe organization.
• This role also carries senior-level oversight of key electrical and power systemsmatters — including power quality, power factor correction, and solar/BESS/inverter integration — directing resolution through the technical team rather than performing hands-on field diagnostics. Day-to-day, hands-on electrical troubleshooting and field-level power quality work remain with the Field Engineer and site technicalteams; the Senior Engineer providesthe broader design,project, QA/QC, procurement, and governance oversight across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Design and Technical Oversight

• Provide engineering design input and technical oversight across active and upcoming projects, ensuring designs are technically sound, compliant, and fit for purpose.
• Review and validate engineering designs and drawingsbefore implementation, flaggingrisks or deviations from technical standards.
• Oversee power quality mattersacross client sites— including powerfactor correction, harmonicdistortion, and voltage fluctuation issues — directing resolution through the relevant technical teams.
• Oversee assessment and reconfiguration of power factor correction (PFC) banks at sites wheresolar deployment has altered demand profiles, ensuring corrective action is properly scoped and executed.
• Lead electrical distribution board design,optimization, and standardization across projects.
• Oversee protection coordination and electrical systemcommissioning for new and existinginstallations.
• Oversee integration of solar PV, BESS, and grid-tied invertersystems, including reviewof control-setting configurations.
• Support root-cause analysis and technicaltroubleshooting for design,quality, or equipment-related issues arising during project delivery.

Project Engineering and Project Management

• Lead projectengineering activities, translating design intent into buildable, well-documented project plans.
• Manage day-to-day project management tasks, including scope, schedule, and resourcing, in coordination with installation and delivery teams.

Quality Assurance and Quality ControlAcross Projects

• Develop and implement qualityassurance and qualitycontrol (QA/QC) frameworks, checklists, and inspection procedures across all projects.
• Conduct QA/QC audits and site inspections, identifying non-conformances and driving corrective actions.

Technical Support to Procurement (Equipment Specifications, Vendor Evaluations & Technical Compliance)

• Provide technicalsupport to the Procurement team on equipment specifications, ensuring purchased materials and components meet project and design requirements.
• Support vendor evaluations, includingtechnical assessment of supplier capability, product performance, and compliance documentation.
• Review and confirm technicalcompliance of equipment, materials, and vendor submissions againstinternal standards and regulatory requirements.

Supporting Project Deliveryand Engineering Governance

• Support projectdelivery by identifying and resolving technical bottlenecks, escalating issues where necessary, and coordinating with cross-functional teams.
• Contribute to engineering governance by developing, maintaining, and enforcing internaltechnical standards, procedures, and best practices.
• Maintain accuratetechnical documentation, includingdesign records, QA/QC reports, and vendor compliance files
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineering and project staff.
• Participate in project reviews and governance meetings, reporting on engineering, QA/QC, and procurement-related technical matters.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelors degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, or related field)
• Minimum 8-10 years + of relevantexperience in engineering design, project engineering, or technical project management, ideally within solar, renewable energy, or a related technical industry.
• EPRA T3 License
• Demonstrated experience in quality assuranceand quality controlprocesses, including audits,inspections, and non-conformance management.
• Experience providingtechnical support to procurement functions, including equipment specification review and vendor technical evaluation.
• Proven track record supporting or managing projectdelivery across multiplesites or workstreams.
• Familiarity with engineering governance practices, including development and enforcement of technical standards and procedures.
• Project management certification (e.g., PMP or equivalent) is an advantage.
• Working knowledge of power quality,power factor correction, and solar PV/BESS/inverter integration principles, sufficient to direct and oversee technical resolution (hands-on field diagnostics not required).
