• Identify and analyze constraints and risks to projects, propose suitable mitigants and adjust design as needed.
• Lead the development of Owner’s Requirements and of the EPC Contract’s Technical Appendices.

• Lead and coordinate the technical review of EPC Contractor’s detail design.
• Undertake site visits to both greenfield sites and sites under construction.

Experience and Technical Knowledge

• Strong knowledge of Solar PV plant constituent components (modules, inverters, structures, trackers, etc.), with knowledge of Battery (BESS) technologies being a plus.
• Strong knowledge of layouts and Energy Yield Assessment (EYA) development; and good knowledge of all factors affecting PV plant performance.
• Experienced in design and simulation software including PVsyst, PV design, AutoCAD, and/or other Solar or BESS modelling software.
