Job description

Engineering & Innovation Manager - Solar

Location : Auckland, NZ

Salary : $150,000 + bonus

Are you the kind of engineer who thrives on big, complex renewable projects — the ones with multiple ICPs, transformer headaches, and high-stakes design choices? Do you bring a mix of international utility-scale solar experience, commercial smarts, and hands-on technical know-how? If yes — this is where you make your mark.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead the engineering design and delivery of multi-site solar and renewable projects (utility and commercial scale).
  • Strong problem solving skills
  • Combine Financial modeling, CAD design, Assembly, Technology into a commercial solution.
  • Use financial modelling + CAD to optimise project viability and design efficiency.
  • Allocate work, mentor your team, and manage engineering priorities effectively.
  • Collaborate with international supply chains — selecting suppliers, negotiating, and improving product quality / cost.
  • Drive product development : refine designs, change suppliers, and adapt assembly methods to cut cost and boost performance.
  • Balance technical compliance with a commercially astute approach to value engineering.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years in large-scale solar / renewable projects (international experience highly valued)
  • Proven people leadership (3+ years managing teams, task allocation, mentoring).
  • Fluent in engineering design tools (CAD) and financial modelling.
  • Problem-solving chops : able to diagnose and fix issues on-site, not just behind a screen.
  • Experience with supplier management and international supply chains.
  • Masters in Engineering (or equivalent design / technical qualification).
  • Why Join?

  • Join a fast-growing renewable leader with global ambitions.
  • $150,000 base salary + performance bonus.
  • Work on complex, career-defining renewable projects that truly move the needle.
  • If you have got experience in international solar farms, major renewable builds, or large-scale energy projects — and you’re ready to bring both your technical brilliance and commercial acumen to NZ’s renewable future — we want to talk.

    Apply today and you will be contacted if you are successful!
