Job description

About Helira

Helira Energy Private Limited is a brand + technology company for residential rooftop solar in Bengaluru. Helira-certified installers carry out the physical work; the warranty and accountability stay with Helira. Homeowners size a system and receive an AI-generated quote through our self-serve app, then track their project to commissioning. Our products are live and our approach to quality is technology-led: the install standard is written into software, not left to memory.

Why this role exists

We are about to carry out our first residential rooftop installations in Bengaluru. These are our reference installs - the ones that define how every subsequent job is executed, inspected and signed off. We need one experienced technician to personally lead them end-to-end, then convert that hands-on knowledge into a repeatable standard and train every installer who follows.

What you will do

• Personally lead our first reference installations end-to-end in August.
• Carry out site surveys: roof condition, shading, structure design, cable routes, meter position.
• Run installation and commissioning to Helira's standard - structure, DC and AC wiring, earthing, inverter commissioning.
• Capture every quality checkpoint in our app: photographs, instrument readings, sign-offs.
• Coordinate BESCOM net-metering documentation through to handover.
• Enforce safety discipline on every site: work at height, electrical isolation, correct PPE.
• Train and assess installers certified to Helira's standard, and sign off on their competence.
• Feed real site learning back into the written standard and the app checklist.

Essential requirements

• 4-8 years of hands-on residential rooftop solar installation experience in and around Bengaluru.
• You have personally led installs end-to-end - site survey, structure, DC/AC wiring, earthing, inverter commissioning, net-metering handover. Led, not assisted.
• Working knowledge of BESCOM net-metering documentation and process.
• Demonstrable safety discipline: work at height, electrical isolation, PPE.
• Comfortable with smartphone-based work processes - this role is app-driven, every day.
• Willing to complete a practical skills test as part of selection.

Preferred

• Karnataka supervisor-grade electrical Certificate of Competency.
• Experience coordinating with a Licensed Electrical Contractor for completion certification.
• Experience training or assessing junior technicians against a defined standard.
• Familiarity with a range of inverter and mounting-structure types.

What we offer

• A ground-floor role in a founder-funded technology company, with direct influence from day one.
• The standard you help build becomes how every future installation is done.
• A growth path towards field-operations leadership as the organisation scales.

Compensation: competitive for an early-stage startup; finalised at offer.
