Delays, budget pressure and moving deadlines don’t scare you. They motivate you to build order where others see chaos.

Is this you?

You are highly organised, commercially aware and thrive in fast-paced project environments where precision matters. Managing multiple moving parts comes naturally to you, and you enjoy solving scheduling challenges before they become project problems. Strong communication skills allow you to confidently coordinate across teams, suppliers and stakeholders while maintaining calm under pressure.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

You’ll take ownership of planning and scheduling across multiple renewable-energy projects throughout Africa, ensuring engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning activities stay aligned and on track. Using Primavera P6 and/or MS Project, you’ll develop baseline schedules, monitor critical path activities, identify risks and support recovery planning where needed. Reporting, schedule analysis and project controls will form a key part of your role, while collaboration with project teams, contractors and suppliers will keep you close to the action. You’ll enjoy this opportunity because your work will directly influence project success while exposing you to large-scale infrastructure delivery in Africa’s rapidly growing renewable-energy sector.

Where you’ll be doing it

You’ll join a fast-growing renewable-energy business delivering impactful energy solutions across commercial and industrial sectors throughout Africa. The environment is entrepreneurial, collaborative and focused on innovation, giving you exposure to complex multi-country projects while working alongside experienced professionals committed to Africa’s energy transition.

What you’ll need

A degree or diploma in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management or a related field, along with proven experience in project planning, scheduling or project controls within EPC, infrastructure, construction or renewable-energy environments. Strong Primavera P6 and/or MS Project capability is essential, coupled with advanced Excel skills and a solid understanding of scheduling methodologies, critical path analysis and project reporting. Experience within solar PV, battery storage or African project environments will strengthen your application.

What you’ll get

An opportunity to work on meaningful renewable-energy projects with exposure to multi-country infrastructure delivery, career growth within an expanding business and a competitive market-related salary package.
