KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Engineering Design & Technical Delivery

• Leads the planning, design, and optimization of solar PV electrical systems to support client requirements and new business opportunities.
• Oversees site surveys, customer requirement gathering, and preparation of project plans for design proposals.
• Reviews and approves detailed scope of work, BOQs/material take-offs, technical specifications, permits, licenses, safety requirements, and other supporting documents prior to implementation.
• Creates, reviews, and finalizes electrical designs based on simulations, load studies, energy projections, and client/account officer inputs.
• Evaluates final design outputs against post-implementation performance and recommends optimization measures where necessary.
• Ensures all technical specifications are accurately reflected in contracts, proposals, and service level agreements (SLAs).

2. Technical Leadership

• Serves as the technical subject-matter expert (SME) for electrical aspects of solar PV systems.
• Conducts comprehensive design reviews and ensures adherence to best engineering practices.
• Reviews and signs off on complex calculations, simulations, and design drawings prepared by the team.
• Provides mentorship, coaching, and technical direction to Electrical Design Engineers.
• Acts as escalation point for critical design issues, technical conflicts, and multidisciplinary coordination challenges.

3. Stakeholder Management & Acting Head Support

• Serves as primary POC for electrical design matters across internal stakeholders including Project Management, Supply Chain, Corporate Planning & Business Development, Commercial Service, and Operations & Maintenance.
• Represents the electrical design function in client, utility, and regulatory discussions when required.
