About the job Head C&I
We are seeking an experienced Solar EPC Commercial Director to lead our Commercial & Industrial (C&I) division. In this role, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth, building a robust sales pipeline, and positioning our EPC solutions as the smartest financial investment for our clients.
Key Responsibilities
Commercial & Financial Engineering
You must be able to sell the financial outcome, not just the hardware. This includes deep knowledge of ROI, payback periods, Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and tax incentives such as Section 12BA. You should be comfortable structuring and selling Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or Rent-to-Own models.
Technical Translation
A deep, functional understanding of Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and grid-tie compliance. Must confidently explain system sizing, yield estimations, and tier-1 equipment benefits without needing an engineer in the room.
Pipeline & Process Management
You must be a "systems thinker" in sales. This means rigorous pipeline management, accurate forecasting, and a zero-tolerance policy for CRM indiscipline.
Regulatory Fluency
Depending on your region, you need to understand local grid regulations (e.g., SSEG municipal regulations, NERSA guidelines, or local utility wheeling frameworks) so you don't sell systems that cannot be legally or practically connected.
Required Qualifications:
A Bachelor's Degree or Higher Diploma in Commercial Management, Business Administration, Finance, or Engineering.
Industry Certifications (Highly Desirable)
Certifications that prove industry commitment. Candidates who associate with local solar bodies such as SAPVIA (in South Africa), or those who have completed formal PV sizing and sales courses will be preferred
