Role
Lead the end-to-end Design & Engineering function for Utility-Scale Solar, Rooftop Solar, BESS, Wind and Hybrid Renewable Energy EPC projectsfrom concept and feasibility through detailed engineering, IFC, construction support, commissioning and as-built handover.
Ensure designs are technically robust, safe, compliant, constructible, cost-effective and aligned with project schedules and commercial objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineering & Design Leadership
- Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams across Electrical, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, SCADA, Protection, BESS and Wind.
- Establish design standards, processes, review gates, templates and approval workflows.
- Drive end-to-end engineering delivery: Concept Basic Engineering Detailed Engineering IFC Construction Support Commissioning As-Built.
- Ensure alignment with project schedules, procurement strategy, construction methodology and budgets.
Technical Leadership
- Lead design and engineering for Solar PV, BESS, Wind, Hybrid projects, EHV systems and grid connectivity.
- Review key technical aspects including PV layouts, energy yield, BESS sizing and architecture, hybrid configurations, substations, protection systems and power evacuation.
- Ensure compliance with IS, IEC, IEEE, CEA, BIS, NFPA, Grid Codes and customer specifications.
- Coordinate with OEMs, utilities, consultants and customers on technical approvals and integration.
Design Quality, Optimisation & Compliance
- Establish robust design review, verification and approval systems.
- Minimise design errors, site rework,
NCRs and engineering-related delays.
- Drive CAPEX optimisation, value engineering, standardisation and lifecycle cost improvements.
- Ensure designs balance performance, energy yield, safety, constructability, reliability and cost.
Procurement & Project Support
- Support technical specifications, BOQs, bid evaluations, vendor drawings and technical negotiations.
- Provide engineering support during procurement, construction, testing and commissioning.
- Resolve RFIs, TQs, NCRs and site technical issues within agreed timelines.
- Manage design changes and ensure smooth handover from Engineering through Commissioning.
Team & Business Leadership
- Build, lead and mentor a high-performing multidisciplinary Design & Engineering team.
- Define KPIs, roles, accountability and technical capability development.
- Support Pre-Sales and Business Development with technical solutions, feasibility,
Key Deliverables
- On-time Basic, Detailed Engineering and IFC releases.
- Minimum design errors, rework and NCRs.
- Optimised CAPEX through value engineering.
- Timely grid, statutory and customer approvals.
- Effective Engineering Procurement Construction Commissioning handover.
- Successful commissioning and as-built documentation.
- Improved design standardisation, productivity and engineering TAT.
Preferred candidate profile
- 1520+ years of experience in Renewable Energy, EPC or Power Infrastructure.
- Robust hands-on and leadership experience in Utility-Scale Solar EPC.
- Strong expertise in EHV systems, substations, power evacuation and grid connectivity.
- Good experience in BESS, Solar + BESS and Hybrid Renewable Energy projects.
- Experience in Wind EPC / Wind-Solar Hybrid projects preferred.
- Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering and design teams.
- Strong understanding of EPC execution, constructability, procurement, value engineering and technical risk management.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management and leadership skills.
- Working knowledge of PVSyst, AutoCAD, ETAP/Power Factory, PVcase/Helioscope, STAAD or similar engineering tools preferred.
Ideal candidate: A strategic, hands-on engineering leader capable of independently owning the complete Design & Engineering function for Solar + BESS + Wind/Hybrid EPC projects, while balancing technical performance, safety, energy yield, constructability, timelines and CAPEX.
Priority will be given to candidates with proven end-to-end experience across Utility-Scale Solar, BESS, EHV Infrastructure and Wind/Hybrid projects, with a strong track record of leading multidisciplinary teams on large EPC projects.
