Job description

Aditya Birla Renewables is an industry leader in clean energy solutions.

With over a decade of experience in executing large-scale and complex renewable energy projects across India, we are helping power the nation’s transition towards a greener tomorrow.

Our solutions cover the gamut of renewable power from solar, wind, and hybrid power to battery storage. Our state-of-the-art technology, high uptime, and our ability to provide the most competitive tariffs are some USPs that set us apart in the industry.

1) Job Purpose

Lead end-to-end project management of utility-scale Wind and Solar projects by driving cross-functional coordination, resolving execution bottlenecks, and ensuring timely, safe, and cost-effective project delivery.

The role is responsible for managing multiple Wind and Solar projects simultaneously by coordinating across Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Land Acquisition, Commercial, Finance, EHS, Quality, and O&M teams.

Key challenges include driving alignment among multiple stakeholders, ensuring timely availability of land, materials, and statutory approvals, resolving execution bottlenecks, monitoring project progress, and ensuring projects are delivered within committed timelines and budgets without directly managing site construction.

The role requires a strong project management professional with hands-on experience in utility-scale Wind and/or Solar projects.

Contractor & OEM Coordination

Coordinate with EPC contractors, OEMs, consultants, and vendors to ensure alignment on project deliverables and timelines.

Identify project risks, develop mitigation plans, elevate critical issues, and ensure timely resolution.

Stakeholder Management

Collaborate with senior leadership, internal stakeholders, utilities, consultants, and regulatory authorities to achieve project objectives.

Commercial & Schedule Reviews

Review project status, contractual commitments, resource requirements, and recovery plans to ensure milestone achievement.

Coordinate with Site Heads and O&M teams to ensure smooth commissioning, project closure, and asset handover.
