Experience :

2-5 Years

CTC :

As per industry standards

Job Summary:

The Solar Project Performance Engineer will be a crucial member of the PMO, specifically tasked with planning, monitoring, and driving the performance of solar PV projects against established benchmarks for cost, quality, and time. This role requires proactive analysis, robust reporting, and close collaboration with Project Managers to ensure optimal project execution and value delivery.

Qualifications:

  1. B.E / B. Tech in Electrical, Mechanical,or Renewable Energy  Engineering (Electrical is preferred).
  2. 2-5 years of experience in project planning, project controls, or a PMO role within the renewable energy (specifically solar PV) or large-scale infrastructure/construction sector.
  3. Demonstrable advanced proficiency in project planning and scheduling software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project) is essential.
  4. Strong analytical skills with a proven ability to interpret complex project data (cost, schedule, resources) and generate actionable insights.
  5. Solid understanding of project management principles, methodologies (especially Earned Value Management), and the solar project lifecycle.
  6. Excellent proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data analysis, modeling, and reporting.
  7. Strong communication (written and verbal), presentation, and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration with diverse project teams and stakeholders.
  8. Proactive, detail-oriented, and results-driven with a focus on continuous improvement.

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.
