* Ensure the use of industry-standard tools (PVcase, PVSyst, AutoCAD, etc.) to deliver accurate and optimized plant designs.
* Review and validate energy yield assessments and system performance calculations.
* Own the design process from preliminary concept through to handover for construction, ensuring alignment with technical and economic project goals.
* Coordinate closely with internal teams: Project Development, Origination, Civil and Electrical Engineering, Procurement, Energy Assessment, Execution, and Construction.
* Act as the main technical point of contact for internal stakeholders and external engineering partners on all design-related topics.
* Analyze and propose optimizations to improve plant performance, reduce LCOE, or mitigate site-specific challenges.
* Ensure design compliance with applicable codes, standards, and permitting requirements.
* Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies (trackers, bifacial modules, hybrid systems).
* Support the Procurement team with technical specifications, bid evaluations, and supplier qualifications.
* Mentor and support the professional development of junior engineers within the team.
Position Requirements:
* 8+ years of experience in photovoltaic system design for utility-scale projects (ideally 100 MW+).
* Proven track record in managing engineering/design teams and delivering projects on schedule.
