Electrical Designer

Role & responsibilities

1. Prepare detailed solar PV system designs for rooftop and ground-mounted solar projects.
2. Develop solar plant layouts, module placement plans, shadow analysis, and equipment positioning.
3. Prepare electrical drawings, including Single Line Diagrams (SLD), AC/DC layouts, cable routing, earthing, and lightning protection.
4. Perform solar PV system sizing, string sizing, inverter selection, cable sizing, and electrical load calculations.
5. Use AutoCAD, PVsyst, HelioScope, SketchUp, and other relevant software for design and simulation.
6. Conduct energy generation assessments, solar irradiation analysis, and performance simulations to estimate plant output.
7. Prepare technical drawings, BOQ (Bill of Quantities), BOM (Bill of Materials), and project design documentation.
8. Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical standards, safety regulations, DISCOM requirements, and grid connectivity norms.
9. Coordinate with project execution, engineering, procurement, and business development teams to ensure design feasibility and cost optimization.
10. Support tender preparation by providing technical specifications, design drawings, system sizing, and other required documents.
11. Review site survey reports, site dimensions, and project requirements before finalizing designs.
12. Assist project execution teams with technical clarifications, drawing revisions, and design-related issues during installation and commissioning.
13. Review and validate vendor drawings, technical datasheets, and equipment specifications.
14. Maintain proper documentation of design revisions, approved drawings, calculations, and project deliverables.
