Job Summary:
We are seeking a skilled Engineering Technologist to join our dynamic team, acting as a critical link between engineering design and on-site execution for solar, energy storage, and EV charging projects. You will leverage technical expertise to optimize mechanical structures, streamline installation processes, and resolve on-site technical challenges, ensuring projects meet the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and compliance.
Key responsibilities:
- Optimize mechanical structures for solar, energy storage, and EV charging systems, including solar rack load-bearing frameworks, battery cabinet fixation solutions, and EV charger mounting bases, to ensure stability under extreme environmental conditions.
- Conduct structural simulation analyses to evaluate stress and strain on installation components, proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks of structural failure during project operation.
- Design customized auxiliary fixtures and tools, such as solar panel positioning jigs and battery cabinet wiring support racks, to improve on-site installation accuracy and reduce operational errors.
- Collaborate with electrical engineering teams to develop integrated mechanical-electrical solutions, resolving interface incompatibility issues and optimizing wiring space for solar-storage hybrid systems.
- Participate in technical validation of new solar panels, energy storage batteries, and EV charging equipment, assessing installation feasibility from a mechanical perspective and compiling detailed evaluation reports.
- Compile and update technical documentation, including equipment installation manuals, fixture operation guidelines, and mechanical structure maintenance handbooks, to standardize on-site workflows.
- Provide on-site technical guidance to electricians and apprentices, offering support for rack welding, equipment hoisting balance control, and component assembly precision calibration.
- Troubleshoot post-installation mechanical issues such as loose racks or deformed battery cabinets, develop targeted rectification plans, and track implementation to ensure timely resolution.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Experience in technical project support, process optimization, or mechanical design-related work.
- Basic proficiency in engineering design software (e.g., CAD) and technical documentation compilation.
- General understanding of engineering systems and industry standards.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills.
- Strong problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to safety and quality compliance in all technical work.
- Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies and dynamic project environments.
