Job Description

Responsibilities & Key DeliverablesLeadership in Design & Engineering Strategy:
- Set and implement the overall design and engineering strategy for distributed solar projects (incl. residential), ensuring technical excellence, cost-efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Oversee both the design and engineering phases of rooftop (incl. residential) and ground-mounted solar PV projects, ensuring optimal layouts, system configurations, and detailed technical solutions.
Design Oversight:
-Lead the design team in creating detailed system layouts, including module placements, stringing, single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical configurations, and energy yield analyses.
-Ensure all designs are optimized for site-specific conditions (rooftop structural capacity, shading, land conditions for ground-mounted systems) and maximize energy production.
Pre-Bid Design & Technical Support:
-Provide technical guidance and support during the pre-bid phase by developing preliminary system designs, feasibility studies, and energy yield estimates.
-Work with the business development and sales teams to ensure that all technical aspects of bids are aligned with client requirements and project feasibility.
Engineering Execution & Support:
-Provide oversight to engineering teams in system execution, ensuring the designs translate into high-quality installations.
-Support the project management team by ensuring engineering designs and plans are implemented correctly during installation and commissioning.
Team Management & Development:
-Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of design engineers, ensuring collaboration, technical upskilling, and knowledge-sharing across the department.
-Establish performance metrics and continuous improvement initiatives for both the design and engineering teams, ensuring high productivity and efficiency.
Regulatory Compliance & Technical Standards:
-Ensure all designs and engineering solutions adhere to Indian and international regulatory standards (MNRE, CEA, BIS, IEC) and safety guidelines.
-Keep the team updated on relevant policy changes and regulatory developments in the solar industry that impact system design and engineering practices.
Innovation & Cost Optimization:
-Drive innovation in solar system design by exploring the use of new materials, technology, and system configurations to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
-Lead efforts in integrating new solar technologies (e.g., floating solar, energy storage) into designs for distributed solar projects.
Stakeholder Collaboration & Client Interaction:
-Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders (procurement, project management, sales) and external partners (vendors, clients) to ensure alignment on project goals and technical requirements.
Budget & Resource Management:
-Ensure that design and engineering solutions align with project budgets and timelines, balancing cost-efficiency with technical performance.
-Oversee resource allocation for the design and engineering teams, ensuring optimal use of tools, software, and personnel.Experiencexc2xb7 Experience of 14+ years with understanding of Solar PV system, BESS TechnologyIndustry PreferredQualificationsB.
