Project head solar EPC

1. Solar Project Manager – EPC
2. Department: Projects / EPC Execution
3. Location: Bhiwani, with travel to assigned project sites
4. Reporting To: Project Head / GM – Projects
5. Experience Required: 8–14 years in Solar EPC / Renewable Energy project execution, including direct, independent handling of at least 3–5 complete C&I rooftop or ground-mounted projects from mobilization to handover.
6. Educational Qualification: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent), with strong preference for demonstrated site-execution and project-management experience over purely design/office experience.
7. Job Summary: The Solar Project Manager independently owns execution of one or more assigned C&I rooftop, industrial rooftop or ground-mounted solar EPC projects — coordinating engineering, procurement, site manpower, contractors and client communication from mobilization through testing, commissioning and O&M handover — while managing schedule, quality, safety and cost at the project level.
8. Key Responsibilities:
Convert the approved design and BOQ into a practical, resourced project execution plan (WBS, schedule, manpower plan).
Coordinate day-to-day site execution: civil/structural work, module installation, DC/AC electrical works, HT works, cable laying, earthing, lightning protection and SCADA/monitoring installation.
Manage on-site contractors, supervisors and technicians; plan and adjust manpower against progress.
Track and control material — raise requirements, coordinate with procurement, reconcile site inventory, and flag shortages before they impact schedule.
Prepare and submit DPR, weekly progress reports and monthly MIS to the Project Head.
Lead pre-commissioning checks, testing, commissioning, grid synchronization coordination and performance testing for assigned projects.
Coordinate DISCOM/net-metering/grid-interconnection and other statutory processes applicable to the project, escalating to the Project Head where needed.
Manage client communication at the project level — progress updates, site inspections, query resolution.
Own quality (ITPs, inspections) and safety (permits, PPE, toolbox talks) compliance on assigned sites.
Close punch-points/snags and complete handover documentation for client sign-off.
Coordinate a smooth O&M transition, including spares and training handover.
Manage RA bill preparation, quantity measurement and material reconciliation for assigned projects.
9. Technical Competencies: Independent working knowledge of solar PV system engineering and full EPC execution sequence for C&I rooftop, industrial rooftop and ground-mounted projects, sufficient to run a project site without daily hand-holding from the Project Head.
10. Solar EPC Expertise: Hands-on execution experience across module/inverter installation, DC and AC systems, LT/HT works, transformer/RMU coordination, and SCADA/monitoring commissioning; comfortable independently handling both C&I rooftop and ground-mounted project types.
11. Design & Software Skills:
PVsyst: Able to read and interpret a PVsyst report to cross-check field generation performance and identify likely causes of shortfall (soiling, shading, string faults, inverter clipping).
AutoCAD/AutoCAD Electrical: Able to read SLDs, layout and cable-routing drawings fluently and flag field-vs-drawing discrepancies to the design team.
PVcase/HelioScope or equivalent: Working familiarity to cross-check layout and stringing against issued drawings during installation.
MS Excel (Advanced): Must personally maintain project trackers — material tracker, manpower tracker, BOQ tracker, cost tracker and progress MIS — using formulas and pivot tables.
MS Project/Primavera or equivalent: Able to build and update a project-level schedule and track critical path.
ERP/PM software: Working proficiency in the company's chosen project-tracking/ERP system.
12. Electrical Engineering Skills: Solid working knowledge of DC/AC cable sizing and voltage-drop calculations, string/inverter sizing logic, LT/HT panel arrangement, protection systems, earthing system design, lightning protection and SPD selection — sufficient to supervise installation and catch execution errors on site.
13. Project Management Skills: Strong command of project scheduling, milestone tracking, manpower and resource planning, subcontractor coordination, DPR/MIS reporting, RA bill verification, quantity measurement, material reconciliation and punch-point/snag closure at the project level.
14. Procurement/BOM/BOQ Skills: Able to prepare and verify project-level BOM/BOQ (DC, AC, HT/LT material, structural steel, civil material), coordinate with procurement on lead times, and manage vendor/site material reconciliation to avoid delays.
15. Commissioning Skills: Independently capable of leading pre-commissioning, testing (IR, string testing, earthing testing), commissioning and grid synchronization coordination for C&I rooftop and ground-mounted projects, escalating only complex/high-risk HT issues.
16. O&M Knowledge: Working understanding of preventive/breakdown maintenance, generation/PR/CUF monitoring, fault diagnosis basics and handover documentation requirements to enable a clean O&M transition.
17. Liaisoning / Approval Coordination: Hands-on experience coordinating with DISCOM, net-metering and grid-interconnection processes, and Electrical Inspector/CEIG as applicable to the project's state and category, escalating to the Project Head where authority-level intervention is needed. Verify current state/utility-specific process before evaluating this experience.
18. Team Management & Hiring: Manages on-site supervisors, technicians and contractor manpower; provides input to the Project Head on site staffing needs; responsible for day-to-day work allocation, productivity and discipline on site.
19. Safety & Quality Responsibilities: Owns project-level HSE (work permits, LOTO, PPE, working-at-height controls, toolbox talks) and QA/QC (ITPs, inspections, method-statement compliance) for assigned sites. Applicable codes/standards to be confirmed per project and client specification.
20. Required Soft Skills: Strong on-ground problem-solving and decision-making, client-facing communication, contractor/vendor negotiation, time management under schedule pressure, and willingness to be based at or travel frequently to project sites.
21. KPIs / Performance Metrics:
Project schedule adherence
Material/cost variance vs. approved BOQ and budget
Safety incidents/near-misses on assigned sites
Punch-point closure turnaround time
Commissioning timeline adherence
Client satisfaction on assigned projects
