Job board: South African firms dominate senior hiring

From the newsletter

In the past week, South Africa has shown momentum in renewables project announcements and hiring for energy professionals. Notably, the country recently awarded bids for five Battery Energy Storage System projects totalling 616 MW. In contrast, hiring activity in North and East Africa has slowed, while recruitment in West Africa remains modest.

• Solar technology experts are the most sought-after professionals across the continent. According to our data, the majority of renewable energy funding in May was directed toward solar projects.

• This week’s 100+ job board predominantly features large-scale project-adjacent roles, including project controllers, finance managers and technicians.
