Job Description

Key Responsibilities

1. Performance Monitoring & Analysis

Continuously monitor solar PV plant KPIs (PR, CUF, availability, specific yield) using SCADA and other analytics platforms. Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for underperformance, energy losses, and downtime. Develop and implement performance improvement plans, focusing on minimizing losses and enhancing asset reliability. Benchmark plant performance against industry best practices and peer assets.

2. Operational Excellence & Optimization

Recommend design/operational improvements based on performance insights. Support predictive maintenance initiatives using data analytics, thermography, drone inspections, and AI-based monitoring tools. Drive initiatives to improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and lifecycle asset performance.

3. Reporting & Stakeholder Management

Prepare accurate daily/weekly/monthly MIS reports and dashboards for management and investors. Develop advanced data visualization tools for plant performance tracking. Act as the technical interface between O&M teams, management, and equipment OEMs to ensure performance issues are addressed.

4. Maintenance & Reliability Support

Support preventive and predictive maintenance programs through data-driven insights. Work closely with field O&M teams to translate analytical findings into actionable tasks. Oversee warranty claims and performance guarantees with EPCs and OEMs.

5. Safety, Compliance & Standards

Ensure all performance improvement initiatives comply with HSE and regulatory requirements. Drive compliance with ISO, IEC, and grid code requirements. Support audit processes by providing technical and performance documentation.

Qualifications & Skills

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical / Mechanical / Renewable Energy Engineering. Master's degree in Energy Systems, Data Analytics, or MBA (preferred).

Experience:

Minimum 10 years in Solar O&M, with significant experience in performance analytics and optimization of >100 MW utility-scale plants.
