The project engineer will play a key role in investigating technical issues identified through the RMS dashboards by engaging with vendors and field teams to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely resolution. The role involves both remote analytical work and on-ground validation, supporting system reliability and performance improvement across multiple geographies.

Your insights will shape system design, BOM selection to improve reliability, and contribute to knowledge generation across the organisation.

• Monitor and interpret RMS dashboard data to identify performance deviations and technical faults in solar systems.
• Support various program teams in analysing performance trends and improving system reliability.
• Conduct data-driven diagnosis of issues and arrive at clear technical conclusions on root cause and resolution.
• Engage directly with vendor technicians, inverter/RMS manufacturers, and field engineers to validate root cause and resolve issues.
• Weekly document technical findings-capturing the issue, analysis, and corrective action taken and support teams in developing reports and case studies based on technical findings.
• Support the Control Room team in analysing performance trends and improving system reliability.
• Recommend design, material and operational improvements based on recurring patterns observed from the field installations.
• Improve existing system reliability and performance by revising the design and Bill of Materials (BoM) against real field conditions and failure history

Field Visit: Regular field visits to sites for root cause analysis. Provide training to geography teams on issue resolution, rectification and maintenance for capacity building. Visits to vendor organisation for technical discussions, issue resolution, etc.Additional Support: Contribute to technical reviews and meetings of the organisation.
