Project Head – Ground Mount Solar Projects

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Project Head to lead end-to-end execution of

ground-mounted solar power projects (utility-scale/large commercial). The ideal

candidate will have a strong background in solar EPC project management, from site

handover through commissioning, and will be responsible for on-time, on-budget, and

quality-compliant delivery of multiple ground mount solar sites simultaneously.

Key Responsibilities

Project Planning & Execution

 Lead planning, scheduling, and execution of ground mount solar EPC projects

(MW-scale) from site mobilization to commissioning and handover.

 Prepare and monitor detailed project execution plans (Gantt charts/MS Project)

covering civil, mechanical (module mounting structures), electrical (DC & AC

side), and BOS works.

 Ensure adherence to project timelines, budgets, and quality standards across all

active sites.

 Coordinate land development, soil testing, topographical survey, and site

readiness activities prior to construction.

Site & Vendor Management

 Manage multiple site teams (site engineers, supervisors, contractors) across

geographies; travel extensively to sites for reviews, audits, and issue resolution.

 Oversee civil works (foundation/piling), MMS (module mounting structure)

erection, module installation, and electrical works (cabling, inverters,

transformers, switchyard, evacuation).

 Manage relationships with EPC contractors, sub-contractors, and vendors for

structures, modules, inverters, cables, and BOS items.

 Negotiate and finalize contracts/work orders with local contractors and labor

agencies at site level.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

 Ensure strict implementation of EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) protocols at all sites.

 Ensure compliance with statutory approvals (CEIG, DISCOM/state nodal agency

approvals, forest/land clearances where applicable).

 Conduct quality audits and ensure adherence to IS/IEC standards for civil,

structural, and electrical works.

Stakeholder & Client Coordination

 Act as primary point of contact for clients, consultants, and third-party inspection

agencies during execution.

 Coordinate with DISCOMs/STUs for evacuation approvals, metering, and grid

synchronization.

 Manage interface with internal departments — Procurement,

Design/Engineering, Finance, and QA/QC.

Team Leadership & Reporting

 Lead, mentor, and manage a team of site engineers, project managers, and site

supervisors.

 Prepare and present periodic progress reports (weekly/monthly) to management

including physical progress, cost tracking, risk register, and manpower

deployment.

 Identify project risks (land, weather, logistics, contractor performance) and

implement mitigation plans proactively.

Cost & Resource Management

 Monitor project budgets, control costs, and minimize deviations from approved

BOQ/BOM.

 Plan and forecast manpower, machinery, and material requirements at each site.

 Coordinate with procurement for timely delivery of modules, structures, cables,

inverters, and other BOS material to sites.

Required Skills & Competencies

 Strong technical knowledge of ground mount solar EPC — civil/structural

(piling, MMS), electrical (DC/AC, SCADA, transformers, switchyards), and

evacuation infrastructure.

 Proven track record of having independently executed/handled multiple utility-

scale ground mount projects (10 MW+).

 Strong contractor and vendor negotiation skills.

 Proficiency in MS Project/Primavera, MS Excel, and project reporting tools.

 Working knowledge of statutory/regulatory approval processes (DISCOM, CEIG,

land conversion, etc.).

 Strong leadership, team management, and cross-functional coordination skills.

 Willingness and ability to travel extensively (50-70% travel) to project sites across

states.

 Excellent communication skills — verbal and written — for client and

management reporting.

Qualifications

 Education: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical / Civil / Mechanical Engineering

(Mandatory).

PMP/PGDM In Project Management (Preferred, Not Mandatory).

 Experience: Minimum 8+ years in solar industry, with a specific and

demonstrable background in ground mount solar project execution (not

rooftop-only experience).

 Prior experience as Project Head/Project Manager/Senior Manager – Projects in

a solar EPC company, IPP, or developer organization is highly preferred.

What We Offer

 Opportunity to lead large-scale, high-visibility ground mount solar projects

 Fast-track growth opportunity in a growing renewable energy organization

 Travel allowances and site-related benefits as per company policy
