Plant Manager - Wind

Eastern Cape

Job ID:

37558

Published date:

24-04-2026

Summary

Role Overview

We are recruiting on behalf of a specialist renewable energy asset management business operating within a leading South African infrastructure investment ecosystem.

The company manages a portfolio of utility-scale wind and solar assets in operation under the REIPPP programme, with a track record of delivering disciplined asset management across complex, multi-party project structures.

The team is lean, highly capable, and operates with a level of professional rigour that reflects the seriousness of the assets they manage and the investors they serve.

This is the senior on-site management role at a utility-scale wind energy asset in the Eastern Cape.

The Plant Manager holds full operational accountability for the facility — from HSSE legal compliance and OEM contract management through to stakeholder reporting, budget management, and community engagement. It is an end-to-end ownership role, not a support or deputy function.

Location: Eastern Cape — primarily work-from-home with 1 to 2 days per week on site (approximately 1.5 hours from Port Elizabeth).

Candidates do not need to be based in PE specifically — any Eastern Cape location within consistent commuting reach of the site will be considered.

What You Will Do

Hold the Section 16.2 appointment under the OHS Act — full legal accountability for the safe operation of all machinery and the safety of all personnel on site.
Monitor and optimise wind turbine generator (WTG) fleet performance using SCADA data, condition monitoring systems, and daily OEM reporting — tracking Energy Availability Factor, Capacity Factor, and Performance Ratio.
Manage the Nordex Maintenance and Service Agreement (MSA) as the primary O&M instrument; hold Nordex accountable to all contractual KPIs, performance guarantees, and SLA obligations.
Manage all auxiliary service contracts — security, electrical BoP, civil BoP, vegetation management, and site facility maintenance.
Prepare and present operational and technical reports for executive management, the project board, lenders, NERSA, and other statutory bodies on a monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc basis.
Act as primary point of contact for the Eskom System Operator and Regional Control Centre — coordinate planned outages, manage curtailment instructions, and ensure grid stability compliance.
Prepare and manage the annual CAPEX and OPEX budget; perform monthly Actual vs. Budget reconciliations with variance justification.
Maintain proactive, in-person relationships with all landowners and community stakeholders in accordance with lease and servitude obligations.
Oversee 24/7 site security, access control, and all HSSE compliance obligations including quarterly external audits and environmental compliance under the EA and EMPr.
Direct the Site Supervisor — the permanent on-site presence — and provide leadership across all on-site personnel and contractors.

What We're Looking For

Minimum requirements

Formal tertiary qualification in Engineering or a related technical discipline — BSc/BEng Mechanical or Electrical preferred; National Diploma with strong hands-on experience considered.
Proven experience managing an OEM or external O&M service provider to contractual performance obligations at a utility-scale asset.
Demonstrable Section 16.2 competency under the OHS Act — or clear evidence of operating at that level of accountability.
Valid South African driver's licence and own transport.

Preferred

Direct experience on a Nordex turbine fleet — intimate understanding of Nordex equipment and operational approach is a strong advantage.
Experience on comparable utility-scale WTG platforms (Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE) will be considered where Nordex-specific experience is not available.
REIPPP project experience — lender reporting, regulatory compliance, and Eskom system operator interface.
Candidates from large conventional power generation (coal, gas, hydro) with strong operational discipline who have transitioned or are transitioning into wind will be considered.

What We Offer

An in-house role with genuine ownership, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to work across two operational utility-scale renewable energy assets.

Full operational ownership of a utility-scale REIPPP wind asset — not a support or deputy function.
Primarily work-from-home with 1–2 days per week on site — meaningful site time without being site-bound.
Direct board and lender interface — visible, high-accountability role with meaningful stakeholder relationships.
Stable, long-term operating environment within an established infrastructure fund ecosystem.
Competitive remuneration commensurate with experience and responsibility.
Long-term asset with ongoing operational relevance — no commissioning uncertainty.

CONTRACTS MANAGER

Renewable Energy Asset Management | Cape Town (Hybrid)

Role Overview

We are recruiting on behalf of a specialist renewable energy asset management business operating within a leading South African infrastructure investment ecosystem. The company manages a portfolio of utility-scale wind and solar assets in operation under the REIPPP programme, with a track record of delivering disciplined asset management across complex, multi-party project structures. The team is lean, highly capable, and operates with a level of professional rigour that reflects the seriousness of the assets they manage and the investors they serve.

This is an in-house Contracts Manager role supporting the full legal and commercial contracts function across the operational portfolio. The role sits within the Asset Management function, reports to the Head of Asset Management, and carries direct responsibility for all contractual, legal, and regulatory obligations across the project companies. It is an individual contributor position — suited to someone who wants genuine ownership, meaningful work, and proximity to decisions that matter.

Location: Century City, Cape Town. Hybrid working arrangement — 2 days WFH per week.

What You Will Do

Draft, review, negotiate, and manage a broad range of commercial agreements, including O&M Agreements, PPAs, EPC contracts, project finance and loan agreements, SLAs, land lease agreements, servitudes, and bespoke construction agreements.
Advise on whether signatories are authorised to execute documents under applicable constitutional documents (MOI and equivalent), and whether execution is appropriate given project finance, lender, and risk requirements.
Manage obligations and entitlements under O&M Agreements for operational wind and solar assets — monitoring contractor performance against contractual KPIs and SLAs, managing disputes, and overseeing warranty, performance guarantee, and defects liability processes.
Manage corporate governance obligations across project companies and SPVs — including MOI compliance, board resolutions, shareholder resolutions, trustee resolutions, and trust administration. Liaise with CIPC and other regulatory bodies as required.
Identify and advise on legal risk across the portfolio; navigate complex contracts to identify breaches of obligations and determine when step-in rights have been triggered.
Provide clear, commercially grounded legal advice to the executive team and project boards — including boards where members may themselves be legal professionals.
Maintain a contracts register across the portfolio with version control, expiry tracking, and obligation management.
Manage the interface with external legal counsel on complex matters, ensuring instructions are focused and cost-effective.
Be ready to step into a major contract negotiation at short notice when required.

What We're Looking For

Minimum requirements

LLB degree from a recognised South African university.
Admitted attorney (preferred; practical experience will determine whether this is a hard requirement).
Minimum 3 years post-admission experience in a commercial contracts or legal advisory role.
Demonstrable experience managing complex commercial agreements independently.
Experience in REIPPP, renewable energy, or large civil infrastructure environments — preferred.

Preferred

O&M Agreement management on an operational utility-scale renewable energy asset.
Project finance compliance and lender interface experience.
EPC lifecycle exposure from construction phase through to COD.
Board-level reporting and corporate governance experience across project companies or SPVs.
Experience reviewing and advising on project finance documents in a REIPPP context.
Exposure to due diligence processes on renewable energy transactions.
Candidates from large civil infrastructure (roads, dams, rail, power stations) with strong contracts management depth will be considered where REIPPP experience is limited.

What We Offer

An in-house role with genuine ownership, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to work across two operational utility-scale renewable energy assets.

Genuine autonomy — this is a functionally independent role with real ownership, not a support function.
Direct exposure to complex, project-based legal and commercial work across a live REIPPP portfolio.
Regular interface with senior leadership, lenders, and key project stakeholders.
Exposure to ad hoc transactional and due diligence work as the portfolio grows.
Performance-based bonus.
Flexible hybrid working arrangement — 2 days WFH per week.
Support for further professional studies.
Stable, long-term operating environment within an established infrastructure fund ecosystem.
