Requirements
Telecom Foundation is looking for an Assistant Manager Technical (Solar Design Engineer) to design and implement solar energy projects. He is required to manage projects from Design to Installation. The engineer typically begins design with a client consultation, site assessment, and financial assessment, which help him or her understand the project's context.
Responsible for engineering and designing (using industry-standard software) off- grid, on-grid, and hybrid connected solar photovoltaic systems (including rooftop, carport, and ground-mounted arrays) to design the most optimal layout with the most appropriate technologies.
Assist in Managing proposals and obtain related services and provide design consultation for projects. drawings and schedule with the project team.
Produce pre-conceptual designs with accompanying production estimates and review structural, and geotechnical, for projects.
Review solar system engineering designs, modeling, and performance data, and provide engineering support to the design team during the construction process.
Assist in Managing external consultants to obtain assessments of project structural or geotechnical considerations, and interconnect issues, and to identify the required approvals from Authorities
Review the costs of structural estimates, interconnection, permitting agreements, production estimates, and assessment of commercial risk factors.
Oversee the development of structural and electrical designs for net-metering, roof, ground, and parking canopy solar electric systems that meet all regional and local customer-defined requirements.
Maintain design and proposal requirements, knowledge of codes and standards, design procedures, methods, and processes, and improve the efficiency of project development and project selection process
