Job Summary:
WeareseekinganexperiencedTechnicalProjectManagertosupportthedeliveryof utility-scale Solar PV and BESS
projects from development completion through financial close, construction,
commissioning and commercial operation. The successful candidate will act as
the primary technical focal point for the project, coordinating engineering consultants, Owners Engineer, LendersTechnicalAdvisor, EPC contractors, utilities, regulators and internal stakeholders. The
role combines strong engineering knowledge with project management capabilities
to ensure successful project delivery.
KeyResponsibilities:
- Lead
feasibility assessments for solar PV projects, including site screening,
resource analysis, and layout optimization.
- Perform
preliminary BESS capacity calculations: determine optimal storage size
(MWh/MW), C-rate, charge/discharge cycling strategy, and augmentation schedule
relative to the solar generation profile, offtake structure, and PPA
performance obligations.
- Coordinate
with engineering consultants and GIS teams on technical studies including yield
simulations (PVsyst), grid connection analysis, and BoP design.
- Preparepre-feasibility,feasibility,andtechnicalduediligencereports;define optimal Solar PV + BESS system configuration considering DC/AC
ratio, degradation curves, PR targets, and site constraints.
- Analyze
connection options to the electrical grid and determine the optimal
interconnection point in terms of cost and technical feasibility.
- Developandmaintainpreliminaryprojectfinancialmodels:calculateproject IRR,equityreturns,NPV,DSCR,LCOE/LCOS,andrunsensitivityanalyses
- acrosstariff,generation,capex,andfinancingscenariostosupportinvestment decisions and lender presentations.
- Review
and redline technical provisions of PPAs: Performance Ratio definitions and
calculation methodology, net/gross energy metering, generation guarantees,
availability thresholds, curtailment treatment, degradation allowances, and
measurement and verification protocols.
- SupportthenegotiationandongoingmanagementofLong-TermAgreements (LTAs): track contractual
milestones, prepare technical inputs and correspondence, coordinate with legal
counsel and counterparties, and flag deviations from agreed terms.
- Review
technical sections of EPC contracts: technical specifications, equipment
standards, performance guarantees (PR, availability, net energy yield),acceptancetestingprotocols,andLD/bonusstructures;flagcontractual
risks and inconsistencies with project design assumptions.
- Support
the preparation of RFPs and EPC tender packages with technical inputs; assist
in bid evaluation from a technical and commercial perspective.
- Monitor
development timelines, risks, and deliverables; report progress to internal
teams, partners, and investors.
- Act
as the Design Authority for assigned projects, maintaining overall ownership of
the technical solution throughout the project lifecycle.
- Lead
and coordinate design development activities from concept design through
detailed engineering and construction support.
- Ensure
alignment between project design, contractual requirements, lender requirements
and construction execution.
- Serve
as the primary technical interface between EPC Contractors, Owners Engineer
(OE), Lenders Technical Advisor (LTA), Independent Engineer, equipment
suppliers, utilities and regulatory authorities.
- Lead
technical coordination meetings and ensure timely resolution of technical
comments, design interfaces and project risks
- Coordinatethereview,consolidationandclosureoftechnicalcomments received from EPC, OE, LTAand other project stakeholders.
