Energy Resilience: Deputy Directors (Project Manager) x10 Contract Positions
VACANCY: Deputy Directors x10 Contract Positions
JOB DESCRIPTION
| The current energy crisis and the need to transition to lower-carbon energy present unique challenges and opportunities for South Africa and the Western Cape. The Western Cape Government has several exciting opportunities for highly motivated, proactive, suitably qualified, experienced and delivery-driven individuals who want to be part of the solution to help roll out the Western Cape Energy Resilience Programme. Whilst the programme is aimed at both relieving the immediate impacts of loadshedding and diversifying the province’s sources of energy in the short, medium and long term, it presents opportunities to test novel, fresh but robust approaches in the Western Cape while at the same time sharing our learnings and collaborating with strategic stakeholders and partners across South Africa. The work is fast-paced and dynamic, involves working with multiple stakeholders in the private and public sectors locally and nationally, requires innovative, critical and quick thinking and testing of new grounds, and includes developing, finding and implementing solutions for the roll out of energy-related technologies, products and services at scale. The projects to be implemented include driving the implementation of PV systems at scale in schools, managing the distribution of loadshedding packs to communities, implementing renewable energy and battery solutions in public sector buildings and facilities, driving the implementation of demand side management programmes, and guiding and driving energy-related communications to build energy resilience amongst businesses, government and citizens. These posts will be recruited by the Western Cape Department of the Premier, but will be based in either the Department of the Premier, the Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness or the Western Cape Education Department. These posts are based in Cape Town but will require individuals to be able to do visit sites where applicable (project dependent). |
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
| Facilitate the implementation of the Western Cape Energy Resilience Programme and related energy projects in the province; Manage and provide specialist and technical comment, advice, and guidance on energy systems, projects and programmes; Render energy related strategic and policy development services; Drive collaboration with key stakeholders for the implementation of energy resilience programmes and projects; Manage M&E systems for Western Cape Energy Resilience Programme projects; Manage and perform financial and people management, including general office management. |
