Deputy Director: Energy Resilience (Project Manager 24-month contract), Ref No. DOTP 17/2024 - Cape Town Region
Western Cape Government
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, addressing demand side management, and diversifying the province’s sources of energy in the short, medium and long term, addressing grid issues, and encouraging investment in the energy sector. The programme 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 and / or scaled up 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, enabling private sector energy projects and investments, and guiding and driving energy-related communications to build energy resilience amongst businesses, government and citizens.
