Role Summary
Leads technically significant work packages, reviews discipline deliverables, and provides day-to-day guidance to project teams. The role applies this accountability within Solar PV.
Key Responsibilities
Take technical ownership of major work packages and establish the execution approach within approved project criteria.
Develop and review calculations, drawings, models, specifications, reports, and supporting records.
Guide engineers, trainees, and drafters; provide clear review comments and verify effective closure.
Resolve complex design interfaces and coordinate directly with project leaders, clients, vendors, and other disciplines on delegated matters.
Identify optimization, constructability, quality, scope, and schedule risks and contribute lessons learned and standard improvements.
Role-Specific Discipline Scope
Utility-scale solar plant electrical design, including DC stringing, inverter blocks, LVAC/MVAC collection, single-line diagrams, and equipment ratings.
Cable sizing, ampacity, voltage drop, routing, schedules, grounding, lightning protection, and equipment/BOM quantities.
Plant layouts, design-basis and construction packages, and CAD/KMZ/GIS deliverables aligned with survey and site constraints.
Inverter, transformer, tracker, civil, structural, BESS, PSS, substation/HV, and T-Line interfaces.
Validation of design calculations, vendor inputs, and automation outputs before release.
Qualifications and Experience Guidance
Education: B.Tech/B.E. in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, or another directly relevant engineering discipline from a recognized university.
Experience: Typically 6-9 years of relevant experience, including ownership and review of significant engineering work packages.
Knowledge: Applicable codes, client/utility requirements, constructability, quality controls, and multidisciplinary interfaces at a depth appropriate to the level.
Technical Skills / Software
Core tools: AutoCAD; Microsoft Excel; Google Earth Pro/KMZ tools; GIS tools as applicable; PVsyst or comparable solar-performance tools where assigned; approved calculation and document-management systems.
Expected proficiency: Advanced hands-on proficiency, model/calculation review capability, and ability to guide less-experienced users.
Reporting / Accountability
Reporting: Typically reports to a Deputy Manager, Manager, or project Engineering Lead.
Accountability: Accountable for package-level technical integrity, interdisciplinary coordination, review quality, risk identification, and guidance of junior staff.
