- Conduct site visits to assess energy needs and infrastructure suitability.
- Participate in the installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of off-grid energy systems.
- Analyze system performance data to enhance reliability and efficiency.
- Engage with local communities to provide training and technical support, ensuring long-term sustainability.
- Someone who wants to specialize in off-grid energy solutions and is motivated to contribute directly to rural electrification in Malaysia
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field.
- Basic knowledge of solar PV systems, microgrids, and energy storage.
- Work experience in designing and constructing PV systems (preferably with experience in hybrid/off-grid systems) is an added bonus
- Comfortable with fieldwork in rural areas and hands-on problem-solving.
