This role offers a unique opportunity to actively contribute to energy access in Malaysia. You’ll gain hands-on experience working on real-world off-grid energy projects, helping to design and implement solutions that make a tangible difference.

• Manages and supervises the onsite installation, testing, and commissioning of solar power systems to ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality implementation.
• Post installation, lead the troubleshooting, and maintenance of off-grid energy systems in participation with the local communities
• Assist in designing, testing, and optimizing renewable energy systems.
• Conduct site visits to assess energy needs and infrastructure suitability.
• Analyse system performance data to enhance reliability and efficiency.
• Engage with local communities to communicate ongoing implementation plans, to seek their acceptance, to iterate, adjust based on on the ground realities.
• Provide training and technical support for local communities ensuring long-term sustainability.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who wants to specialise in off-grid energy solutions and is motivated to contribute directly to rural electrification in Malaysia
• Must have hands-on experience implementing a solar or energy project; experience in a rural setting is a strong plus.
• 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.
• Able to think on your feet to deal with the unexpected and an ability to adapt to real-world challenges.
• Strong inter-personal skills to foster genuine connections with communities we work with
• Excellent communications skills with stakeholders, from technical partners to rural communities in both English and Bahasa Malaysia
