Job Summary The Civil / Mechanical Engineer – Solar PV bridges the gap between structural engineering and mechanical layout for utility-scale Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plants. This role is responsible for the design review, optimization, and on-site technical supervision of civil foundations, piling layout, and structural mechanical tracking systems. The engineer ensures that the plant's physical infrastructure safely withstands localized wind/environmental loads, aligns precisely with mechanical tracking kinematics, and provides a stable foundation for maximum solar energy yield. Key Responsibilities - Enforce mechanical torque auditing programs, ensuring all structural fasteners are marked and tightened to specification. - Generate technical daily/weekly construction reports, verifying site completion progress against the project schedule. - Resolve structural-to-mechanical interface clashes, such as piling conflicts with underground medium-voltage (MV) cabling paths or drainage networks. - Review subcontractor shop drawings, calculation sheets, material submittals, and Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) for concrete foundations. - Interface with the electrical engineering team to align mechanical tracker drive motors with electrical power supplies and control arrays. - Review and approve structural layouts for fixed-tilt structures and single-axis trackers (e.g., Nextracker, ATI, Arctech). - Ensure strict mechanical tolerances for tracker alignment, torque tube connections, drive-slewing systems, and damper installations. Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering. - Experience: 8+ years of planning and scheduling experience, with at least 2 years explicitly dedicated to utility-scale Solar PV projects. Qualifications: Bachelor of Technology (BTech) Experience: 8-14 years
