Engineering Manager – EPCM Projects

About Eclipse

Eclipse Holdings develops next-generation energy infrastructure combining renewable power, battery storage, and productive digital infrastructure across Africa. Through initiatives such as Yoonu-Leer, we are developing modular energy systems designed to expand reliable power access while creating productive economic opportunities for underserved communities.

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

• Technical Leadership

  Lead and review multidisciplinary engineering work across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines. Approve calculations, drawings, specifications, FEED, detailed design, and as-built deliverables.

• Project Execution

  Own engineering schedules, budgets, resource plans, and technical coordination across EPCM projects from concept through commissioning.

• Engineering Integration

  Coordinate interfaces between engineering, procurement, vendors, construction, and commissioning teams. Resolve RFIs, design changes, site issues, and technical deviations.

• Standards & Quality

  Establish and maintain Eclipse engineering standards, design review processes, QA/QC gates, document control, and applicable international and local codes.

• Stakeholder & Technical Communication

  Represent Eclipse in technical discussions with utilities, regulators, contractors, financiers, partners, and project stakeholders.

• Team & Capability Building

  Build and mentor the engineering team, identify capability gaps, support recruitment and university partnerships, and develop practical engineering standards for future projects.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering.
• 8+ years of EPC/EPCM or large-scale industrial project experience.
• 3+ years in an engineering leadership or management role.
• Demonstrated multidisciplinary engineering experience.
• Experience with engineering deliverables such as P&IDs, single-line diagrams, structural calculations, or equipment specifications.
• Strong project coordination and technical communication skills.
• Professional fluency in English and French.
• Willingness to travel to project sites.

Experience across renewable energy, power infrastructure, data centers, or heavy industry is particularly valuable.

Preferred extras

• Modular power / microgrid experience
• Containerized infrastructure
• Data center / high-density computing
• Bitcoin mining / digital infrastructure
• Utility / IPP / development-finance experience
• PMP / PE / Chartered Engineer

You don’t need all of these, but if you have them, you’re extremely interesting to us.

Success traits

• Systems Thinker — Understands how engineering, energy economics, technology, and impact connect.
• Builder & Coach — Leads from the front while developing the engineers around them.
• Bias for Execution — Turns designs into field-ready systems and decisions into action.
• Clear Communicator — Can explain complex engineering decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mission Driven — Motivated by building infrastructure that expands Africa’s energy and economic potential.

What we offer

• Ownership — Lead engineering decisions with direct influence on Eclipse’s project portfolio.
• Scale — Work across projects ranging from early-stage prototypes to multi-MW infrastructure.
• Exposure — Collaborate with engineers, financiers, utilities, policymakers, and development partners across Africa.
• Impact — Help define a scalable model for decentralized energy infrastructure in Africa.
