About Floatex Solar
Floatex Solar is India's dominant floating solar PV technology company. With over 1 GW of delivered capacity, we work with India's largest power and infrastructure groups. We provide the engineering backbone for India's most complex floating solar installations: large-scale reservoir and water body projects that few companies in the country have the expertise to deliver.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who can independently own the electrical engineering delivery of large-scale solar projects from equipment specification and drawing review through client approvals and subcontractor coordination. This is a technical authority role, not a coordination role. You will review deliverables from electrical subcontractors, make independent technical judgments, and drive approval from PSU clients
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Design Review & Approval
- Review and approve SLDs, protection relay coordination schemes, and HT switchgear drawings from electrical subcontractors
- Review transformer, HT panel, LT panel, and cable specifications against project scope and regulatory requirements
- Prepare and issue technical comments on subcontractor submissions; track revision and resubmission cycles
- Review and sign off on DC cable specifications, SCADA system technical specifications, and WMS ordering notes
- Validate cable sizing, routing layouts, and interconnection drawings before client submission
Client & Regulatory Interface
- Independently respond to electrical design comments from PSU clients, PMCs, and regulatory bodies
- Manage electrical drawing submissions through client document management portals; track approval status
- Prepare CRS responses for electrical drawing comments and coordinate re-submissions within client timelines
- Support electrical document submissions through PSU approval portals
Subcontractor & Vendor Coordination
- Manage the electrical design subcontractor relationship set inputs, review outputs, hold them to schedule
- Coordinate with equipment vendors (transformer, switchgear, cable OEMs) on technical data sheets and drawing approvals
- Prepare and issue ordering notes for electrical BOS equipment with full technical specifications
- Proactively track open items; do not wait to be chased by subcontractors or vendors
Project Execution Support
- Support procurement team with technical evaluation of vendor quotes against project specifications
- Review IDT (Inspection and Dispatch Testing) procedures for electrical equipment
- Assist in coordination with Siemens, BHEL, and other equipment OEMs on factory acceptance testing
Requirements
Essential
- B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering; M.Tech preferred
- 510 years in utility-scale solar or renewable energy EPC with a clear electrical engineering and design focus
- Demonstrated ability to independently review SLDs, protection coordination schemes, HT switchgear drawings, and transformer specifications not just forward them for approval
- Experience managing electrical drawing comment cycles with PSU or government clients (SECI, NTPC, BHEL, GAIL, or equivalent)
- Working knowledge of IS/IEC standards applicable to solar PV electrical systems (cables, transformers, protection, earthing)
- Ability to prepare and review technical specifications and ordering notes for electrical BOS equipment
- Strong written English most client and subcontractor communication in this role is email-based
Preferred but not a barrier to applying
- Familiarity with document management portals used by major PSUs in the power sector
- Experience with SCADA system technical specifications and integration requirements for utility-scale solar
- Exposure to IDT/FAT processes for HT switchgear, transformers, or protection relays
- Experience coordinating with Siemens, ABB, Schneider, or equivalent OEMs on technical drawing approvals
Why Join Floatex

A rare specialisation
Floating solar is at the same stage ground mount was a decade ago. Getting in now means becoming one of a small number of engineers in India with genuine floating solar electrical depth.
Work at meaningful scale
Projects range from 10 MW to 200+ MW across some of India's most complex reservoir and water body sites.
