We’ve already partnered with 150+ leading Indian industries—including Lenskart, Atomberg, Toyota, and Hindware—achieving an estimated reduction of over 800,000 tonnes of CO₂, and we’re on track to reduce 1 billion tonnes.

About the Role

SafEarth Renewables Pvt Ltd manages a growing portfolio of operating solar assets. We are hiring an Asset Manager, based in Bengaluru, to own the end-to-end performance of an assigned cluster of plants.

You will act as the owner's representative to O&M contractors, DISCOMs and offtakers — driving generation performance, closing the monthly commercial cycle, governing maintenance execution and keeping statutory compliance current. The role calls for strong analytical judgement, disciplined documentation, and the ability to hold a contractor to its contractual commitments without escalating every issue upward.

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka (periodic travel to sites) · Department: Operations — Asset Management · Experience: 1–3 years in the solar industry · Openings: 1

Responsibilities

Performance and analytics

• Review SCADA data, inverter logs and daily generation reports; investigate deviations against PVsyst P50/P90 estimates and contractual generation guarantees.

• Track Performance Ratio, CUF, plant and grid availability, soiling loss and string-level underperformance.

• Diagnose loss sources — inverter clipping, module mismatch, downtime attribution, grid curtailment — and drive corrective action to closure with the O&M contractor.

• Prepare monthly MIS, performance dashboards, generation analysis, and owner- or lender-facing reports and presentations.

Commercial and billing

• Complete the monthly JMR reconciliation with the DISCOM or offtaker, raise invoices and follow up on payment realisation.

• Validate O&M contractor invoices against SLA performance, including liquidated-damage and availability-shortfall triggers.

Maintenance and vendor governance

• Approve and audit preventive maintenance schedules; verify that execution is complete and to standard.

• Drive corrective maintenance to closure; elevate chronic or repeat failures to warranty and RMA claims with the OEM.

• Maintain spares inventory levels, consumption tracking and reorder triggers for critical spares.

• Hold monthly performance reviews with O&M contractors against an SLA scorecard.

Compliance, audits and handover

• Review periodic site audits covering earthing systems (IS 3043), HT switchgear condition, safety systems, and module and structure condition.

• Manage EPC-to-O&M handover: punch-list closure, warranty documentation, and verification of as-built drawings and O&M manuals.

• Ensure adherence to safety standards and operational compliance requirements across the assigned portfolio.

Requirements

• B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical or Renewable Energy Engineering.

• 1–3 years in solar plant O&M or asset management. Experience with a solar EPC or an O&M service provider is relevant.

• Working knowledge of IS/IEC standards applicable to solar PV, and of the CEIG and DISCOM approval process.

• Based in Bengaluru, and willing to travel periodically to project sites.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to both utility-scale and C&I rooftop solar plants.

• Experience on Owner's Engineer or third-party asset management mandates.

• Certification in solar energy or O&M management.

What We Offer

• Independence to run your portfolio your way.

• A results-oriented work culture.

• Competitive pay.

• Significant room to grow as the portfolio scales.

• B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical or Renewable Energy Engineering.
