Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
- Design and Development:
- Lead the design and development of solar PV systems, including layouts, electrical designs, mounting systems, and energy yield analysis.
- Create electrical designs, schematics, and technical specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g., NEC, IEC).
- Prepare Single-Line Diagrams (SLD), wiring schematics, and system specifications.
- Apply electrical engineering principles to create efficient, cost-effective solutions and review technical specifications, drawings, and prototypes.
- Project Management:
- Lead projects from concept to completion, ensuring strategic planning, execution, and monitoring for successful outcomes.
- Collaborate with teams, subcontractors, consultants, and partners to ensure project alignment, scope, on-time delivery, and budget compliance.
- Optimize projects to reduce costs, drive value engineering, and meet financial and corporate goals.
- Provide technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle, including design, execution, delivery, testing, and commissioning.
- Manage team reporting and track project progress and performance.
- Prepare milestone claims for key project stages, ensuring timely verification and payment.
- Oversee project handover to O&M and Sales teams, ensuring complete documentation and final reports.
- Testing and Analysis:
- Conduct tests and evaluations of electrical systems to ensure they meet design specifications and safety standards.
- Analyze test data and performance metrics to identify areas for improvement.
- Perform shading analysis and energy yield forecasts using tools like PVsyst and Helioscope, troubleshooting and resolving any electrical issues as needed.
- Compliance and Standards:
- Ensure all electrical designs and systems comply with national and international codes, safety regulations, and industry standards.
- Maintain awareness of new technologies, trends, and best practices in electrical and solar engineering.
- Ensure compliance with local grid interconnection requirements, utility regulations, and safety standards.
- Documentation and Reporting:
- Prepare and maintain detailed documentation, including design specifications, test reports, and project updates.
- Develop and maintain engineering documentation such as as-built drawings, technical reports, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
- Present findings, recommendations, and project updates to stakeholders, senior management, and clients.
- Collaboration and Communication:
- Work closely with clients, vendors, regulatory bodies (ST, SEDA), TNB, contractors, and team members to gather requirements, ensure compliance, and provide technical support.
- Effectively communicate complex technical information to non-technical stakeholders, including during project proposals and client meetings.
- Provide technical support during proposal preparation and project cycles, including addressing customer queries and offering expert guidance.
