Role Overview

The Project Engineer drives the end-to-end delivery of solar PV projects — from confirmation through commissioning — ensuring they are executed safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management & Execution

Lead the full project lifecycle from project award to handover, covering engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC).
Prepare and manage project estimates, budgets, schedules, and execution plans; monitor progress against both financial and timeline targets.
Coordinate with project supervisors, consultants, main contractors, subcontractors, and inter-departmental teams to ensure aligned delivery.
Manage material procurement and subcontracting activities through the ERP system.

Stakeholder & Authority Management

Liaise with TNB HQ, local authorities, and consulting firms on grid interconnection, meter installation, licensing, and documentation.
Coordinate with upper management on project status, key milestones, risks, and changes to approved scope.
Establish and maintain working relationships with the O&M team to minimise operational disruption during project execution.

Engineering & Design

Conduct engineering site surveys for solar PV system installation.
Review detailed design drawings and specifications; coordinate with designers on electrical, structural, and mechanical aspects of the solar PV system.
Monitor engineering progress against approved budgets and forecasted schedules.

Quality, Safety & Commissioning

Ensure all parties adhere to established safety and QA/QC programmes throughout the project lifecycle.
Establish QA/QC control and commissioning systems with complete documentation.
Set up remote monitoring systems and conduct testing and commissioning of the solar PV system.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Prepare and submit accurate, timely progress and status reports throughout the project.
Lead risk assessments and actively manage project and business risks.
Organise post-mortem reviews to evaluate project outcomes, surface lessons learned, and recommend improvements for future projects.

Requirements

Bachelor degree in electrical engineering or equivalent (Preferably electrical engineering or working related to electrical)
Working experience in construction field, TNB or Project management.
Experience in handling the multi-disciplinary scopes — including Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical works — will be considered an added advantage.
Minimum of 2 years of experience in project engineering or a related field, with a focus on solar energy projects. However, we encourage fresh graduates to apply.
Strong technical knowledge of solar PV systems and related engineering standards.
Proficient in project management tools and software, such as MS Project and AutoCAD.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and work under pressure to meet deadlines.
