Original job description
Position: Civil Designs Lead
Designation: Assistant General Manager
Experience: 14-18 Y (Minimum 8–10 years of relevant utility-scale Solar PV experience)
Qualification: B.Tech – Civil (Preferred M.Tech – Structural/Civil)
Location: Hyderabad (Need to travel to sites on Requirements)
Position Overview
The Assistant General Manager – Civil Design will lead the Civil & Structural Design function for utility-scale Solar PV projects or BESS. The position requires a senior engineering professional capable of managing the complete civil design lifecycle, starting from pre-bid engineering, feasibility and concept development through optimization and detailed engineering.
The role will be responsible for developing technically robust, cost-effective and constructible civil and structural solutions for large-scale solar & BESS projects, while ensuring coordination between Project Execution, consultants, clients and Owners’ Engineers.
Core Responsibilities
The primary responsibility is to provide technical leadership and governance for all Civil & Structural Engineering activities associated with solar or BESS projects.
Key Areas Of Responsibility Include
Particular emphasis will be placed on reviewing topographical surveys, geotechnical investigations, hydrology studies, soil parameters and pile-test results and translating these inputs into appropriate site-specific foundation and civil solutions. Effective interfaces between Civil, Structural, Electrical and Mechanical disciplines will also be critical.
Key Deliverables / KPIs
The incumbent will be accountable for measurable engineering and business outcomes, including:
Knowledge of additional structural, geotechnical, hydrology and solar-design software will be an advantage.
