Project Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and communicative Solar Project Engineer to oversee the design, execution, and commissioning of our rooftop solar projects. Our portfolio ranges from kilowatt-scale (kW) residential/commercial setups to large-scale Commercial & Industrial (C&I) installations.

The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between technical design and on-site execution. You must possess a robust understanding of electrical engineering principles, deep technical knowledge of solar PV systems, and excellent communication skills to effectively manage clients, vendors, and on-site teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Execution & Site Management

• Lead the end-to-end execution of rooftop solar projects (kW scale up to large C&I megawatt scale).

• Conduct detailed site surveys to assess structural integrity, shading, and electrical grid connection points.

• Manage on-site installation teams and subcontractors to ensure projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget.

2. Electrical Design & Technical Review

• Review and validate electrical schematics, single-line diagrams (SLDs), string layouts, and cable sizing calculations.

• Ensure deep technical compliance with electrical codes, net-metering regulations, and safety standards.

• Oversee the installation and commissioning of critical electrical components, including inverters, AC/DC distribution boxes, transformers, and evacuation systems.

3. Client & Stakeholder Communication

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, translating complex engineering concepts into clear, understandable updates.

• Coordinate with government bodies and electrical inspectors for grid connectivity, approvals, and net-metering documentation.

• Provide regular, structured progress reports to the management team.

4. Quality Control & Safety

• Enforce strict Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) standards for all solar equipment and installation workmanship.

• Implement and monitor occupational health and safety protocols on-site.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Technical & Educational Background

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree / Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a closely related field.

• Solar Expertise: Minimum of 2–5 years of hands-on experience in solar PV engineering (specifically rooftop and C&I segments). Thorough understanding of solar modules, string/central inverters, net-metering, and net-billing mechanisms.

• Electrical Knowledge: Advanced understanding of AC/DC power systems, earthing (grounding) layouts, lightning protection systems, and grid-tied systems.

• Tools: Proficiency in solar design software (e.g., PVsyst, Helioscope) and AutoCAD is highly preferred.

Soft Skills & Competencies

• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills in English [and any local language required, e.g., Hindi/Spanish]. Ability to present technical data clearly to non-technical clients.

• Leadership: Proven ability to manage field technicians and contractors under tight deadlines.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills to troubleshoot on-site electrical issues or design bottlenecks quickly

• It is a Full Time Electrician job for candidates with 1 - 3 years of experience.
