Floatex Solar is India's leading floating solar technology company with over 1 GW of delivered capacity and 70% market share. We design, engineer, and deploy floating solar power plants on reservoirs, lakes, and dams across India — working with NHPC, NTPC, SJVN, L&T, and other major utilities.
We're looking for an experienced Anchoring & Mooring Engineer / Naval Architect to join our core engineering team and take ownership of mooring system design, anchor engineering, and stability analysis for our floating solar projects.
What You'll Do
- Design and analyze mooring systems for floating solar arrays on inland water bodies (reservoirs, dams, lakes) across varying water depths and bed conditions
- Perform mooring analysis using software such as MOSES, OrcaFlex, or equivalent — covering intact and damaged line conditions using frequency domain and time domain simulations
- Design gravity anchors, drag anchors, and pile anchors suited to diverse geotechnical conditions (silt, clay, rock, sandy beds)
- Conduct stability calculations for ferrocement Inverter Floating Platforms (IFPs) and HDPE float assemblies using NAPA, Maxsurf, or equivalent tools
- Calculate maximum excursion during transient phases and validate mooring line tensions against allowable limits
- Develop mooring arrangement drawings, anchor dropping schedules, and mooring line length calculations for project execution teams
- Coordinate with external marine engineering consultants (classification society background preferred) for third-party design verification
- Support naval architecture calculations including freeboard, tonnage, scantling, and load-out/float-off assessments for platform transport and installation
- Prepare Design Basis Reports (DBR) and Buoyancy Calculation Reports for client and regulatory submissions
What We're Looking For
Must Have:
- B.Tech / B.E. in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine Engineering from a recognized institution (IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IMU, CUSAT, or equivalent)
- 3–8 years of experience in mooring analysis and anchor design — offshore oil & gas, marine construction, or floating structures
- Proficiency in MOSES, OrcaFlex, NAPA, Maxsurf, or equivalent hydrodynamic/stability software
- Strong understanding of mooring system types — catenary, taut, and semi-taut configurations
- Experience with gravity anchor design and anchor holding capacity calculations
- Familiarity with classification society rules and standards (DNV, BV, ABS, IRS, API RP 2SK)
- Ability to work with AutoCAD for mooring arrangement drawings
Nice to Have:
- Prior experience at a classification society (DNV-GL, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's, IRS) or marine consultancy
- Experience with floating renewable energy systems (floating solar, floating wind)
- Knowledge of Indian inland waterway and reservoir conditions
- Experience with frequency domain and time domain mooring simulations for all lines intact and one line damaged conditions
- Familiarity with load-in/load-out, dry docking, and launching calculations
Why Floatex
- India's #1 floating solar company — you'll work on the largest projects in the country
- Greenfield engineering challenges — unlike repetitive offshore O&G work, every reservoir is different
- Small, high-impact team — your work directly shapes project outcomes
- Growing fast — 1 GW delivered, multi-GW pipeline ahead
- Real-world impact — clean energy on India's water bodies
Location & Compensation
- Based at Head Office in Delhi
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
