Weekly jobs: South Africa hires for hybrid solar + battery roles

From the newsletter

Energy companies have advertised 170+ new positions in the past week. Solar remains the leading technology on the continent. However, we have observed a significant number of hybrid solar + battery storage positions advertised in South Africa, about 5+ positions. This aligns with the country's uptake of battery storage solutions in utility-scale projects.

• Sun King is the company hiring the most. It is recruiting for 14 roles in Tanzania, Malawi, Nigeria and Kenya. The company has, in the past three weeks, been on a hiring spree alongside others like M-Kopa.

• This week's roles also feature two wind technology positions by Siemens Gamesa in Egypt and Vestas in South Africa, a rare occurrence.
