Key Responsibilities:

1. Technical Leadership in Project Execution

• Provide end-to-end engineering support during project execution — covering civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines.

• Review detailed engineering documents (SLDs, layout drawings, cable routing, inverter sizing, structure design, etc.) and ensure alignment with project specifications.

• Coordinate between engineering, procurement, and construction teams to resolve design and technical issues.

• Support project managers with technical inputs for scheduling, resource planning, and interface management.

• Ensure all designs are optimized for constructability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

2. Design Review & Standardization

• Oversee design validation of EPC and vendor engineering submissions.

• Develop and maintain standard design templates, specifications, and quality benchmarks for solar projects.

• Evaluate and approve key design changes during execution to ensure performance and compliance.

• Implement engineering review processes to reduce rework and interface gaps.

3. Technology Evaluation & Integration

• Evaluate and recommend emerging solar technologies (modules, inverters, trackers, SCADA, energy storage, hybrid systems).

• Conduct techno-commercial comparisons and due diligence for new products and suppliers.

• Drive adoption of digital tools, automation, and monitoring technologies for engineering and project management.

• Support hybrid (Solar + BESS) integration and grid-compliance studies as per project requirements.

4. Quality, Safety & Compliance

• Ensure all engineering and execution activities adhere to applicable codes, standards, and statutory regulations (MNRE, CEA, IEC, IS, IEEE).

• Conduct design safety reviews, constructability audits, and quality checks during project execution.

• Work closely with QA/QC and HSE teams to embed technical safety practices in design and construction.

5. Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate with procurement for technical evaluation of bids and vendor qualification.

• Interface with clients, consultants, utilities, and statutory authorities for design approvals and clarifications.

• Collaborate with the commissioning team for successful handover and performance validation.

6. Process Improvement & Knowledge Management

• Identify recurring technical challenges and drive root-cause analysis for design or execution issues.

• Document engineering learnings, lessons, and best practices for continuous improvement.

• Mentor and guide engineering teams and site engineers on new technologies and technical standards.

Key Deliverables / KPIs:

• Timely and accurate delivery of engineering outputs during project execution

• Optimization in design and reduction in material cost / rework

• Compliance with technical standards and zero NCRs (non-conformance reports)

• Successful implementation of new technologies or process improvements

• Timely resolution of site-level technical issues

Qualifications & Experience:

• Education: B.E./B.Tech. in Electrical / Mechanical / Civil Engineering; M.Tech. in Renewable Energy / Power Systems preferred.

• Experience: 12–20 years of experience in solar project engineering and execution, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.

• Technical Skills:

  • Strong understanding of PV system design (DC & AC side), BOS, and SCADA systems

  • Knowledge of power evacuation, grid integration, and protection systems

  • Familiarity with design tools like PVsyst, AutoCAD, ETAP, Helioscope, and STAAD

  • Exposure to BESS and hybrid project interfaces preferred
