What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can design and commission efficient solar PV systems, support tenders and client technical proposals, and collaborate closely across engineering and installation to deliver compliant, high-performing projects.

I’m a Solar Technical Design Engineer focused on turning client energy needs into reliable solar PV solutions. I design grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid systems for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

I handle site surveys and electrical load assessments, then translate findings into system sizing, engineering drawings, single-line diagrams, BoQs, and technical documentation. I also prepare technical and financial proposals for tenders, including ROI-focused customer quotations.

Earlier roles strengthened my delivery and support mindset: I installed and commissioned solar PV systems with batteries and UPS, performed preventative and corrective maintenance, and resolved client-side technical issues to maximize system uptime. I’ve also supported customer consultations through technical presentations and sales pipeline management.

Beyond engineering, I bring leadership and professionalism—graduating top 3% of my class and serving as class president for 4 years unopposed. I’m driven by compliance and robust design, including EPRA T3, and I enjoy collaborating across engineering, procurement, installation, and sales teams.
