Key Responsibilities:

  • Integrated Project Planning & Baseline Management (Cost, Quality, Time):
    • Collaborate with Project Managers and functional teams to develop detailed, integrated project plans and schedules for solar PV projects (engineering, procurement, civil, mechanical, electrical, commissioning).
    • Establish project baselines for schedule, cost, and scope, and rigorously manage any changes through a defined change control process.
    • Assist in detailed resource (manpower, machinery, material) planning and optimization specific to solar project needs.
  • Performance Monitoring & Driving:
    • Time: Track project progress rigorously against the baseline schedule using planning software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project), identify critical path deviations, and propose corrective actions.
    • Cost: Monitor project expenditures (actuals vs. budget/forecast), track cost variances, and conduct earned value analysis to assess project financial performance.
    • Quality: Work with Quality Control teams to track key quality metrics, ensure compliance with standards, and monitor defect resolution rates.
    • Risk: Proactively identify potential risks (schedule, cost, technical, quality) specific to solar projects and support the development of mitigation strategies.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting:
    • Collect, validate, and analyze project data from various sources (site reports, financial systems, planning tools).
    • Prepare comprehensive and insightful performance dashboards and reports for Project Managers, leadership, and stakeholders.
    • Highlight key performance deviations, trends, and provide actionable recommendations for improving project health and accelerating delivery.
    • Conduct root cause analysis for performance shortfalls and contribute to lessons learned.
  • Standardization & Process Adherence:
    • Support the implementation and enforcement of PMO project management processes, templates, and best practices tailored for solar projects.
    • Ensure consistent application of planning, tracking, and reporting standards across the solar project portfolio.
  • Tools & Systems Management:
    • Administer and maximize the utility of project management software (e.g., Primavera P6 for scheduling, ERP modules for cost tracking) for solar projects.
    • Ensure data integrity and system utilization for accurate performance measurement.
