State Head - Solar Installations & Operations and Maintenance

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for someone in Andhra Pradesh to own a solar rooftop project end-to-end — not just manage a checklist, run it.

You'll lead a 6–8 person installation & commissioning team, own your project's P&L, and make the day-to-day calls yourself. We run a flat, AI-driven ops model — dispatch, scheduling, and KPI tracking are automated, so your job is judgment and execution, not paperwork.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Full installation crew — hiring, daily priorities, and quality

• Real autonomy — you escalate only for safety, compliance, or spend above your limit

• Warehouse and materials allocation for your project site(s)

• Local liaisoning and DISCOM / government coordination for your region

• Monthly peer sync with other State Heads to share best practices and benchmark performance

YOUR 4 KPIs

Same 4 KPIs as every other State Head — no variation by region, fully transparent.

• Installations — ≥ 95% of weekly target

• O&M Uptime — ≥ 99%

• Quality — 100% compliance

• Improvement Ideas — 2+ per month

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Solid on-ground I&C experience in solar (rooftop preferred)

• Comfortable owning outcomes, not just tasks

• Someone who improves the process, not just runs it

• Has run a crew before, and wants more ownership — not less

• Strong people-management skills — hiring, coaching, and holding a crew accountable without micromanaging

• Data-driven; comfortable working off dashboards and KPI trackers daily, not just gut calls

• Stays calm under pressure during monsoon / peak-season installation surges

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Electrical / Mechanical / Civil Engineering (or equivalent hands-on track record)

• 4–7 years in solar rooftop installation & commissioning, with 1–2 years leading a crew or owning a site

• Track record managing DISCOM liaison, net-metering approvals, and multi-site crews a strong plus

• Prior P&L or site-level budget ownership (materials, overtime, contractors) preferred

• Experience on government rooftop solar schemes (e.g., PM Surya Ghar / PMSGY) a plus

• Valid driving license and willingness to relocate or travel within Andhra Pradesh

TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Strong grasp of solar PV systems, inverters, single-line diagrams (SLDs), and net-metering processes

• Working familiarity with design/estimation tools such as PVsyst, Helioscope, or AutoCAD

• Comfortable managing MNRE Suryamitra-trained technicians and basic electrical safety protocols on site

• Understanding of structural mounting systems and rooftop load assessment

• Familiarity with inventory/warehouse tracking and auto-reorder processes

• Basic proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets and mobile field-ops apps for daily KPI tracking

LANGUAGE & MOBILITY

• Fluent in English plus the regional language of Andhra Pradesh (e.g., Telugu, Marathi, or Hindi)

• Willing to travel extensively across project sites within the region; own vehicle preferred

• Comfortable working from site/field 4–5 days a week rather than a fixed office

• Able to coordinate with vendors, DISCOM officials, and customers in the local language

• Open to occasional travel to HQ or other states for peer syncs and training

WHAT WE OFFER

• Transparent bonus tied to your 4 KPIs — no surprises

• Transparent peer rankings across all State Heads

• Zero bureaucracy — decisions in minutes, not weeks

• Fast escalations — safety, compliance, or spend issues resolved in under an hour

• A flat structure with real ownership of your region — not just a title

• A path into multi-state or senior operations leadership as we scale

• Travel, accommodation & on-site expenses reimbursed

WHY JOIN CLARO ENERGY

• Be part of a company with 15+ years of experience and 1,00,000+ solar projects delivered across India

• Work on residential solar rooftop systems at scale (50,000+ rooftops across AP) — driving clean energy transformation

• Competitive industry-standard salary with strong career growth opportunities

• High ownership role with strong learning and leadership exposure
