Job board: Sun King is on a hiring spree

From the newsletter

Over the past week in renewables, around 210 jobs have been advertised by energy firms across the continent. Sun King is on its most aggressive hiring spree yet, with over 30 open positions in 6 different countries. The company is mainly recruiting for supply, distribution and warehouse operation roles after getting a total of $236 million in funding.

• In terms of regional dominance, southern Africa surpassed other regions with more than half the openings. East Africa and West Africa follow, respectively, with a majority of the companies offering off-grid solutions.  

• We have observed that Operations & Maintenance (O&M) positions are gaining traction, particularly in South Africa. This reflects the broader trend of projects moving from construction to completion, creating demand for O&M skills.
