Role Summary

nOwn the end-to-end structural, mechanical, and site-engineering design of solar platform systems — floating while ensuring designs account for site hydrology, flood risk, and water-body conditions relevant to floating installations.

nn Key Responsibilities

nStructural & Mechanical Design

n

n
- Lead structural design of floating platform systems: float modules, walkways, and module mounting structures (MMS).
n
- Design pile foundations and anchoring systems for floating structures, based on soil, bathymetric, and site parameters.
n
- Prepare design basis reports for floating structures, foundations, and equipment platforms.
n
- Evaluate and select float construction materials (Ferro-cement, HDPE, or hybrid), weighing buoyancy, durability, and cost.
n
- Perform structural analysis and modelling using STAAD.Pro, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD.
n
- Prepare GA, fabrication, and assembly drawings for module mount structures, walkways, lightning arrestor systems, and safety rails.
n




- Build 3D models and renders of solar plants (SolidWorks/SketchUp), including shadow analysis and walk-throughs.
n
- Review and approve fabrication and installation drawings; prepare installation manuals for site/construction teams.

nn Required Qualifications &

Experience

n

n
- B.Tech/B.E. in Mechanical, Civil, or Structural Engineering (a PhD or advanced qualification in Water Resources/Hydraulics is a solid plus for the hydrology-facing aspects of this role).
n
- 10+ years of experience in structural/mechanical design of solar structures (floating and/or ground-mounted).
n
- Direct experience with floating solar or marine floating structures strongly preferred; Ferro-cement float system experience preferred (HDPE experience acceptable with a learning curve).
n
- Strong command of STAAD.Pro, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD; SketchUp a plus.
