Project Manager

Junior | Mid-Level | Senior · Africa-focused · Hybrid

Our Client advises lenders, developers, and investors on some of Africa’s most significant renewable energy projects, wind, solar, and BESS. Their work sits at the intersection of technical rigour and commercial reality, and they’re growing the team that makes it happen.

They’re hiring at all PM levels. If you’ve spent your career close to lenders and financial institutions, whether in independent technical advisory, project finance, development, or owner’s engineer work, They want to talk!

What this role is

  • Leading due diligence and owner’s engineer mandates from financial close through construction

  • Being the primary point of contact for lenders, sponsors, and off-takers, proactively, not reactively

  • Managing five or more live projects simultaneously across the energy transition pipeline

  • Writing and owning technical reports that clients trust and act on

  • Mentoring junior consultants and helping build the next generation of the team

  • Contributing to proposals and business development, spotting opportunities, not just executing them

What this role is not

  • An IT or software delivery role; our PMs live in the commercial and technical world of energy infrastructure

  • A box-ticking coordination position; we need people who anticipate problems, not just track them

  • A role for someone who waits to be told what to do

You might be a fit if you

  • Have worked in consultancy or at independent technical advisory and lender advisory organisations

  • Know your way around FIDIC contracts, EPC structures, and OM agreements

  • Have sat across the table from a lender's technical advisor, or been one

  • Are commercially minded, can read a cash flow, and understand what financial close actually means

  • Communicate clearly in writing and in person, and take ownership of what you send

  • Are proactive by instinct, you flag issues before your client asks, and you close things out

Experience and qualifications

  • Junior PM: 2-4 years in energy consulting or project development; strong academic foundation; hungry to learn

  • Mid-level PM: 4-7 years with direct client-facing experience and track record of managing assignments end-to-end

  • Senior PM: 8+ years with demonstrated lender advisory or owner’s engineer experience; CPM/Pr registration advantageous

  • Engineering degree preferred but not essential, we hire for commercial acumen and attitude as much as technical credentials

  • Willingness to travel across Africa for site visits and client engagements

What we offer

  • Work on landmark African renewable energy projects across wind, solar, and BESS

  • A lean, expert team where your contribution is visible and rewarded

  • Clear progression pathways linked to performance, not tenure

  • Mid-level PM: Between R38 000 – R60 000

  • Senior PM: Between R60 000 - R90 000
