  • Lead the design and optimization of utility-scale solar PV systems, including fixed-tilt and single-axis tracker configurations

  • Develop plant layouts, electrical designs (DC/AC), and grid integration concepts

  • Perform energy yield assessments and performance modeling using tools such as PVsyst, PVcase, Helioscope, and AutoCAD

  • Conduct system sizing, cable routing, inverter selection, and loss analysis

  • Integrate BESS into PV plant designs, including sizing, dispatch logic, and hybrid control concepts

  • Apply value engineering principles to optimize CAPEX, OPEX, and system performance

2. Technical Project Management

  • Support and oversee the full project lifecycle: feasibility studies, conceptual design, tendering, detailed engineering, and commissioning

  • Coordinate with internal teams (digital, grid, SCADA, regulatory) and external stakeholders (developers, EPCs, utilities)

  • Review and align technical specifications, employer s requirements, and tender documents

  • Contribute to technical due diligence and bankability assessments for investors and lenders

3. Grid Integration & System Studies

  • Support grid connection studies, including load flow, short-circuit, and dynamic performance considerations

  • Ensure compliance with grid codes, interconnection requirements, and utility standards (e.g., LVRT/HVRT, reactive power, frequency response)

  • Coordinate with grid and power system experts for hybrid system integration (PV + BESS)

4. Technical Leadership

  • Act as a technical reference point for solar PV design within Nexus Analytica

  • Mentor and guide junior engineers and analysts

  • Contribute to the development of internal design standards, tools, and methodologies
