Job description
The Solar Design & Engineering Specialist is a critical role responsible for both Pre-Sales technical support and detailed Post-Sales system design and execution. This position requires strong technical skills in solar PV system design, costing, proposal drafting, and detailed engineering documentation.
Key Responsibilities
Pre-Sales Design & Costing Design and Proposal Drafting: Prepare high-quality Sketch. Up drawings, conduct PVSYST simulations and generate reports to optimize system performance and present technical solutions to potential clients. Costing and Tendering: Prepare accurate pre-sales costing sheets and draft technical proposals.
Conduct thorough Tender study and prepare detailed costing sheets to support bid submissions. Client Management: Check all pre-sales designs and costs for accuracy. Attend and conduct Meetings with clients to understand requirements, present technical solutions, and address queries. Post-Sales Design & Execution Site Analysis and Survey: Conduct detailed Post-sales survey and site analysis to gather necessary data for final system design, including preparing survey reports.
Detailed Engineering: Develop complete and precise engineering documentation, including Sketch. Up design, detailed drawings, and preparation of Bill of Materials (BOM). Performance Optimization: Utilize PVSYST software for final performance modeling and system validation. Prepare comprehensive Calculation sheets for all system components.
Project Management Support: Prepare Meeting Minutes (MOM) sheets for internal and external project meetings. Review and check vendor quotations for technical compliance and cost-effectiveness. Execution Target Drive the Design, Engineering, and Execution aspects to meet a monthly target of 3+ MWp per month.
