Solar MEP Engineer

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

We are looking for a highly technical and detail-oriented Solar MEP Engineer to lead the optimization of construction-ready solar designs. This role will focus on transforming high-level solution designs into cost-effective, executable plans by refining the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), ensuring technical rigor, and managing external subcontractors. You will also be responsible for incorporating real-world construction cost data and implementation outcomes to continuously improve system design and budget accuracy.

MEP & BOQ Optimization

-       Review and interpret system designs from the solution design team, focusing on MEP integrity (cable routing, grounding, conduit sizing, equipment layout...).

-       Optimize the BOQ to ensure cost-effective yet technically sound construction.

-       Refine material lists, cable sizing, structure layouts, and protection systems for budget and performance efficiency.

Construction Design Finalization

-       Develop detailed construction drawings and technical implementation documents.

-       Ensure constructability of design within real-world site conditions and budget constraints.

-       Work closely with procurement and construction teams to ensure alignment with field execution.

Subcontractor Coordination

-       Manage and coordinate subcontractors involved in detailed design work or construction execution.

-       Validate subcontractor deliverables and ensure compliance with quality, safety, and timeline expectations.

Feedback Integration & Continuous Improvement

-       Analyze actual construction data including material usage, labor effort, and final costs.

-       Adjust design processes, BOQ buffer/spare percentages, and cost estimation methodology based on implementation learnings.

-       Lead technical design improvement workshops post-project completion.

REQUIREMENTS:

Must-Have:

-       Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Energy Engineering.

-       2–4 years of experience in solar engineering, with at least 1 year focused on MEP or construction detailing.

-       Strong grasp of solar PV system design, including electrical and mechanical subsystems.

-       Solid experience in optimizing BOQ and construction budgets.

-       Proficiency in AutoCAD, PVSyst, and relevant MEP design tools.

Nice-to-Have:

-       Experience working with subcontractors or EPC firms.

-       Familiarity with construction monitoring tools or cost control systems.

-       Knowledge of local/national electrical codes and solar installation standards.

What Success Looks Like:

-       Implementation-ready drawings and BOQs delivered with <5% deviation from actual construction usage.

-       Continuous reduction in unnecessary buffer and material wastage.

-       Subcontractors deliver on time and within cost with minimal rework.

BENEFITS:

-       Salary: Negotiable based on qualifications and experience.

-       Performance bonus based on system interaction scores.

-       13th-month salary bonus and other incentives depending on business performance.

-       Seniority bonus based on length of service milestones.

-       Full participation in social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance as per Vietnamese labor laws.

-       24/7 accident insurance coverage for all employees.

-       Annual leave and public holidays in accordance with the law.

-       Additional benefits for weddings, funerals, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc.

-       Allowances: Lunch, transportation, phone, laptop, travel expenses... and taxi card for certain positions.

-       Corporate culture: “Aspiration to be different – Different to lead – Lead to succeed.”

-       Professional working environment with talented and friendly colleagues.

-       Opportunities for regular training, personal development, and clear KPI updates.

-       Annual teambuilding and company trips based on business performance.
