Job board: Technical roles dominate hiring

From the newsletter

This week's job opportunities largely comprise technical roles for utility-scale renewable energy projects across Africa. Of 100 + listings, over 30 are engineering and technical positions. Africa's limited current solar and wind installed capacities indicate significant growth potential for these roles as the renewable energy sector matures.

• South Africa, with leaders such as Scatec, EDF Renewables, and SOLA Group, continues to dominate large-scale, grid-tied renewable energy projects in southern Africa. East Africa ranks second, focusing on off-grid renewable energy.

• Notably, South Africa's first featured waste-to-energy role highlights the growing interest in such initiatives across the continent. Senegal recently announced a 20 MW waste-to-energy project for electricity generation.
