We are looking for Solar AC Design Engineer for Renewables Projects (ISTS/ Captive), who has expertise in Design & Engineering of Solar AC domain (experience of 6– 10 yrs. in Solar/ ISTS projects) with good understanding of overall PV Plant.
The Electrical Design Engineer will be responsible for designing and developing electrical systems and components. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, design software, and industry standards. The ideal candidate will have experience in a related field and be able to work independently and as part of a team. Responsibilities:
- package for Renewables engineering package.
- Understanding the overall project scope and deliverables design & engineering pertaining to PV Plant..
- In-depth knowledge of design and detailing of Solar AC side.
- Preparation of RFP for entire PV Plant.
Design is the 1st and most important work, which has to be carryout to kick, start any project. There are many challenges like customer not clear about solar capacity required, incomplete technical details from customer, not availability of land at time to prepare layout, no availability of soil test report or parameter to design the system at the same time preliminary design has to be completed so that major items can be ordered. Without overall clarity of plant, we need to prepare preliminary design and preliminary BOQ so that ordering can be started. No clear visibility of target that which project will be completed when. Other challenge is very less time given for design activity, very competitive pricing and budget number to achieve. Commission for solar project and sometime reduced commission target setup by management to achieve financial target which made work very challenging
