Roles & Responsibilities:

• Solar PV Plant Analysis: Perform comprehensive energy yield analysis, including solar resource assessment, technology selection, tilt and pitch optimization and detailed shadow analysis (near-shading and horizon shading).
• System Design & Optimization: Conduct string sizing and optimization for both fixed-tilt and tracker systems.
• Financial & Technical Documentation: Prepare bankable detailed project reports, feasibility studies and technical due diligence reports.
• Tender and Bid Support: Understand and interpret tender requirements from major agencies like NTPC, SECI, SJVN, GUVNL and key players in the Middle East.
• Cost and Financial Modelling: Develop and analyze project Bill of Quantities (BOQ), including CAPEX, OPEX and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) estimations.
• Engineering & Contracts: Work on Detailed Engineering and Owner's Engineering projects and assist with drafting contracts and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for utility-scale solar PV plants.
• Technical Drawing Analysis: Understand basic DC Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) and AC system SLDs
• Conduct feasibility studies for multimegawatt-scale PV and BESS plants, including equipment selection, layout design and energy yield prediction (P50/P75/P90).
• Compute and optimize plant configurations, including DC overload analysis, tilt-pitch optimization and plant sizing.
• Design and optimize hybrid systems (e.g., PV + BESS, PV + Wind + PSP) using Python and other scientific computing platforms.
• Perform battery sizing based on load profiles and grid/offtaker requirements.
• Develop and apply Python-based tools for simulation, control logic and optimization studies.
• Evaluate technical bids and warranty documentation for hybrid renewable systems.
• Conduct independent technical due diligence of operational and planned renewable energy projects.
• Review technology specifications, layout drawings, contracts, certifications and warranties.
• Identify technical risks and recommend corrective measures to ensure optimal plant performance.
• Analyze operational plant data (SCADA, irradiance, temperature) to assess plant health and performance.
• Apply data-driven methods (including AI/ML where applicable) to detect underperformance and system anomalies.
• Evaluate component-level performance: PV arrays, WTGs, inverters, converters, batteries, energy meters, etc.
• Develop Python/VBA-based automation scripts for data processing, reporting and performance analytics.
• Conduct techno-commercial evaluation of PV modules, inverters, converters, battery cells, racks and BESS systems.
• Stay up to date with advancements in renewable energy technologies and share relevant updates internally.
• Review PV module certifications, BOMs, CDFs, and testing standards for compliance and quality control.
• Participate in site visits for feasibility assessment, inspection and acceptance testing.
• Review and validate PR (Performance Ratio) testing methodologies and acceptance procedures proposed by EPCs or third parties.
• Experience with performance ratio (PR) testing, thermographic inspection and technical audits.
• Organizational Skills: The ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively.
• Communication Skills: Clear and professional communication, both written and verbal.
• Strong analytical, statistical and problem-solving capabilities.
