Engineering Manager – EPCM Projects

Position Title: Engineering Manager – EPCM Projects
Company: Eclipse?Holdings (Senegal?|?USA)
Location: Dakar HQ with periodic travel to rural project sites and partner offices
Employment Type: Full time

About Eclipse?Holdings & Yoonu?Leer
Eclipse?Holdings is building next generation infrastructure that fuses renewable energy, Bitcoin backed productive use of energy (PUE), and high performance digital assets. Our flagship program, Yoonu?Leer, deploys containerized solar?+?BESS?+?mining units to unlock affordable power for off grid communities. We are scaling from pilot to multi MW portfolios across West?Africa and beyond.

Why This Role Matters
We are assembling a multidisciplinary engineering team, civil/structural, electromechanical, electrical, and digital integration—to deliver EPCM mandates faster and leaner than traditional utilities. The Engineering Manager sits at the fulcrum of design excellence, field execution, and strategic growth, ensuring every kilowatt and every bitcoin mined translates into reliable power and economic uplift for rural Africans.

Key Responsibilities
Domain What You’ll Own
Technical Leadership * Lead, mentor, and technically review the work of civil/structural and electromechanical engineers (sample JDs attached).

• Approve calculations, drawings, and specifications; sign?off on design deliverables for FEED, detailed design, and “as built” packages.
• Champion integrated BIM/PLM workflows (AutoCAD/Revit/NavisWorks, GT?STRUDL, FEA tools) and enforce QA/QC gates.
  Project Execution * Develop and track multidisciplinary engineering schedules, budgets, and resource plans for multiple EPCM projects (1?MW prototype ? 50?MW program).
• Interface with procurement, vendors, and fabricators to lock in long lead items (containers, switchgear, cooling skids).
• Support construction and commissioning teams, providing RFI resolutions, site walk downs, and red line updates.
  Standards & Compliance * Establish a single Eclipse design standard library that harmonises US (IBC, ASCE, NEC) and Senegalese/ECOWAS codes plus international best practice.
• Drive HSE culture—from design for safety reviews to construction risk assessments.
• Maintain change management and document?control processes aligned with ISO?9001/14001 aspirations.
  Stakeholder Liaison * Serve as the technical face of Eclipse with utilities (Minister of Energy, Senelec, ASER), financiers (AFD, World Bank, EXIM), and regulators.
• Translate complex engineering decisions into clear language for investors, government officials, and community leaders.
  Innovation & Talent Building * Promote modular, factory built philosophies, additive manufacturing where feasible, and data driven O&M feedback loops.
• Coach junior engineers on design thinking, field practicality, and digital tool fluency.
• Identify skill gaps and support recruitment, internships, and up skilling programmes with local universities.

Required Qualifications

• Degree: B.S. in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering (M.S. or MBA a plus).
• Experience: 8?+?years on EPC/EPCM or large scale industrial projects, with ??3?years in a lead or management capacity (renewables, power, data centres, or heavy industry preferred).
• Multidisciplinary Depth: Working literacy across structural, electrical, mechanical, and controls disciplines; able to interrogate FEA outputs, one line diagrams, and P&IDs.
• Tools: Proficiency in a mix of design/analysis software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, NavisWorks, ETAP/SKKM, STAAD/SAP?2000, ANSYS/FEA) and project controls (MS?Project, Primavera, or equivalent).
• Codes & Standards: Familiar with IBC/ASCE/AISC/ACI and IEC/IEEE/NEC or equivalent utility standards.
• Languages: Professional fluency in English and French (Wolof an advantage).
• Mobility: Willing to travel 20–30?% to rural or international sites, sometimes at short notice.

Preferred Extras

• Track record delivering containerised or modular power solutions, microgrids, or data centre infrastructure.
• Prior collaboration with utilities, MCC, multilateral donors, or IPP frameworks.
• Exposure to Bitcoin mining, high?density computing cooling
• PMP, PE/Chartered Engineer, or similar professional registration.

Success Traits

• Systems Thinker – sees the links between kW, kWh, $/MWh, and societal impact.
• Builder Coach Hybrid – balances hands on problem solving with empathetic team leadership.
• Bias for Execution – turns 80?% solutions into field ready hardware on aggressive timelines.
• Clear Communicator – converts technical depth into persuasive narratives for non engineers.
• Mission Driven – excited by rural electrification, financial inclusion, and African engineering excellence.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation.
• Fast growth environment where your decisions ripple across national energy strategy.
• Cross continental teamwork with top engineers, financiers, and policymakers.
• A chance to write the playbook for scalable, climate positive infrastructure in Africa.
