Overall Responsibility

Provide strategic leadership and end-to-end management of large-scale solar power projects, ensuring timely execution, cost control, quality excellence, and strict compliance with safety and statutory requirements across all construction activities.

Construction & Site Management

Lead and oversee the complete execution of

civil, structural, and infrastructure works

for utility-scale solar projects, including foundations, roads, drainage systems, control rooms, inverter stations, and other balance-of-plant (BoP) works. Establish construction methodologies, sequencing, and execution strategies to optimize productivity and minimize risks. Ensure construction activities align with approved engineering designs, project specifications, and best industry practices. Provide on-ground leadership to site teams, construction managers, and engineers across multiple work fronts.

Planning, Scheduling & Cost Control

Review and approve

construction schedules, micro-plans, and resource deployment plans

in coordination with planning and project control teams. Monitor progress against baseline schedules and budgets; proactively identify delays, cost overruns, and mitigation strategies. Ensure optimal utilization of manpower, equipment, and materials to achieve project milestones.

Stakeholder Coordination & Leadership

Act as the primary interface with

clients, consultants, EPC partners, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders

for all construction-related matters. Coordinate closely with electrical, mechanical, QA/QC, HSE, and commissioning teams to ensure seamless integration of works. Lead project review meetings and provide clear direction to resolve execution challenges.

Quality Assurance & Technical Governance
