Department: Engineering & Project Execution
Reports To: Lead Project Manager / Engineering Head
Position Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented and results-driven Solar Energy Engineer to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, evaluating, and overseeing the technical execution of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. You will work closely with project managers, site technicians, and vendors to ensure solar installations are compliant, energy-efficient, and completed within scope.
Key Responsibilities
- System Design & Modeling: Prepare single-line diagrams (SLDs), layout plans, and 3D shadow analysis for rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV systems using software like PVsyst, Helioscope, and AutoCAD.
- Site Assessment & Feasibility: Conduct initial site surveys to evaluate structural integrity, shading conditions, grid connectivity, and electrical loads.
- Technical Compliance: Ensure all system designs strictly adhere to local electrical codes, safety regulations, and utility interconnection standards.
- Procurement & Technical Specs: Prepare Bills of Materials (BOM), specify components (inverters, PV modules, mounting structures, cables), and evaluate supplier equipment specs.
- Field Supervision & Quality Control: Coordinate with site teams during installation, perform testing and commissioning, and troubleshoot technical issues during startup.
- Performance Analysis: Monitor energy output from commissioned plants, perform performance ratio (PR) calculations, and recommend system optimizations.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience: 2–5 years of hands-on experience in solar PV design, engineering, or site execution.
- Technical Software Proficiency:
- Design/Simulation: PVsyst, HeliosCope, SAM (System Advisor Model)
- Drafting: AutoCAD (2D/3D)
- Electrical Analysis: ETAP or MATLAB (preferred)
- Core Competencies: Strong understanding of DC/AC distribution, inverter sizing, transformer selection, earthing systems, and cable sizing calculations.
- Field Awareness: Familiarity with grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid solar power plants.
Preferred Qualifications
- NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) Certification or equivalent local renewable energy credential.
- Experience with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
- Valid driving license and willingness to visit site locations as required.
Pay: ₹18,000.00 - ₹22,000.00 per month
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Nashik, Maharashtra (Nashik)
