Job board: Engie’s hiring spree continues

From the newsletter

Competition for top talent in renewables remains fierce amongst African energy firms. This week, Solar Panda expanded its operations to Senegal, advertising five managerial roles in the country. The company has been operational in Kenya for over eight years. Both Mulilo Energy and Engie Access Africa also have multiple senior openings in Southern Africa.

• South African energy companies dominate this week’s list of jobs. Out of the 100+ roles we compiled, 60 are from South Africa, mostly led by recruitment agencies.

• We notice that hiring for Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) positions is on the rise on the continent, which is in tandem with the multiple solar + battery storage projects currently in the pipeline on the continent, eg the Battery Engineer - Solar Sector position open in South Africa.
