Role Objective

Ensure maximum plant availability, generation integrity, and asset life through disciplined monitoring, preventive maintenance, rapid fault resolution, and compliant documentation.

Key Responsibilities

- Plant Operations & Performance Monitoring
- Monitor solar plant performance daily using SCADA and monitoring platforms.

Track key performance metrics (generation, PR, availability, inverter uptime).

Identify performance deviations, alarms, and degradation trends; initiate corrective actions as per SOPs.

- Preventive & Corrective Maintenance
- Execute scheduled preventive maintenance for inverters, modules, transformers, HT/LT panels, switch gear, and BOS equipment.
- Diagnose and resolve electrical, mechanical, and communication faults.

Ensure quick restoration of plant operation to minimize downtime and generation loss.

- Site Management & Housekeeping

Conduct routine site inspections, safety checks, and housekeeping audits.

- Plan and supervise module cleaning cycles based on site conditions and performance data.

Oversee vendors and subcontractors engaged in O&M; activities and ensure work quality.

- Reporting & Documentation

Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly O&M; reports covering generation, downtime, faults, and actions taken.

Maintain logs for maintenance activities, spare parts usage, alarms, and configuration changes.

Escalate critical issues to O&M; Manager with root cause and recommended mitigation.





- Safety & Statutory Compliance
- Ensure strict adherence to HSE standards, electrical safety norms, and OEM guidelines.
- Implement and enforce Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures.

Conduct toolbox talks, risk assessments, and incident reporting as required.

- Technical Support & Continuous Improvement

Support root-cause analysis (RCA) for recurring faults and under performance.

Assist in commissioning, stabilization, and takeover of new solar assets.

Provide field feedback to Design and Engineering teams for reliability and maintainability improvements.
