About the role

You take assigned solar projects from design handover through installation, commissioning, and turnover — the day-to-day technical and coordination point on site.

• Supervise installation crews and subcontractors; ensure work follows approved drawings and manufacturer instructions.
• Track daily progress, manpower, and deliveries; flag delays early.
• Enforce site safety — fall protection, electrical safety, PPE — and lead toolbox talks.
• Execute commissioning checks: continuity, polarity, insulation resistance, open-circuit voltage, string current, earthing, inverter configuration and monitoring setup.
• Prepare as-built drawings and complete turnover packages; attend to service calls and preventive maintenance.
