They could be in charge of the electricity supply and supervise the installation and maintenance of related equipment such as generators, solar panels, and batteries. They will hire and manage technical staff and contractors, and oversee their work.
This could be a great opportunity for anyone who has basic engineering skills, technical proficiency in construction, energy and electricity or general mechanics and an interest in giving back to the global community.
