Summary

The Senior Manager – Design will be responsible for managing the design and engineering activities forground-mounted Solar PV projects.

Experience in BESS/Hybrid Solar projects will be an added advantage but is not mandatory.

Job Purpose

• Lead the design and engineering function for ground-mounted Solar PV projects.
• Develop technically sound, cost-effective, and execution-friendly solar plant designs.
• Ensure timely completion and quality of engineering deliverables.
• Optimize plant design for generation, reliability, constructability, and project cost.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders for design approvals and project execution.

Key Objectives

• Deliver accurate and timely designs for ground-mounted Solar PV projects.
• Optimize plant layout, electrical design, equipment selection, and overall system configuration.
• Minimize design errors, rework, and execution-related technical issues.

Candidate’s Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Renewable Energy Engineering; a relevantpostgraduate qualification is an advantage.
• Position: Senior Manager – Design Engineering
• Experience: 5+ years of relevant Solar PV Design & Engineering experience
• Compensation: 15LPA – 18LPA
• Demonstrated experience managing the design of ground-mounted solar projects totaling morethan 100 MWp.
• Strong working knowledge of both civil and electrical aspects of utility-scale solar plants.
• Proven experience producing and reviewing engineering drawings, SLDs, BOMs, BOQs, cost estimates, and scopes of work.
• Familiarity with relevant design software and tools, such as AutoCAD and PV system modelling or electrical analysis software; experience with civil design tools is an advantage.

Competencies & Skills

• Strong technical judgement across civil and electrical disciplines.
• Project leadership, planning, and coordination skills.

• Attention to detail, sound problem-solving, and a cost-conscious approach.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deliverables from design through execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Project assessment and design leadership
• Attend client meetings to understand project requirements, scope, site constraints, and technicalexpectations.
• Visit project sites and assess feasibility, topography, access, geotechnical conditions, drainage, and otherdesign considerations.
• Lead design and engineering from initial assessment and concept development through detailed designand construction support.
• Manage design schedules, deliverables, reviews, approvals, and coordination across disciplines.
• Solar plant and electrical designLead PV plant design, including module selection and configuration, stringing, DC/AC sizing, inverter
• selection, and plant layout.
• Develop and review single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical layouts, cable schedules, equipmentspecifications, and other technical drawings.
• Design or oversee DC and AC cable sizing and routing, earthing and lightning protection, transformers,switchgear, protection, and plant electrical systems.
• Coordinate grid-connection and plant-interface requirements with the client, utility, and relevantconsultants.
• Oversee the integration of monitoring, SCADA, and communication systems into the plant design.
• Civil and structural design
• Lead or review civil design for ground-mounted projects, including site grading, access roads, drainage,stormwater management, and equipment foundations.
• Coordinate structural and foundation design for module mounting structures, considering site andgeotechnical conditions.
• Identify civil, structural, and electrical interface risks and ensure coordinated design solutions.
• Costing, procurement, and execution support
• Prepare and finalise the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for the complete plant,including modules, cables, transformers, panels, and other major components.
• Develop and review project cost estimates, technical scopes of work, specifications, and tenderdocuments.
• Support procurement through technical evaluations, vendor discussions, and review of equipment andcontractor submittals.
• Coordinate with clients and project execution teams to address design changes, site conditions, andconstruction queries.
