About Floatex Solar

Floatex Solar is India's dominant floating solar PV technology company. With over 1 GW of delivered capacity and an active pipeline across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, we work with India's largest power and infrastructure groups.

We are a technology company and IP licensor not a traditional EPC contractor. 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 Engineer Projects & Design who can independently own the engineering delivery of large-scale solar projects from design documentation through client approvals and specialist consultant coordination. This is a hands-on execution role. The role demands both technical depth and the communication discipline to drive deliverables across multiple parallel workstreams without being chased.

Key Responsibilities

Project Design & Documentation

  • Prepare and review Design Basis Reports, structural and civil calculations, buoyancy and weight schedules
  • Develop and maintain project drawing registers, comment resolution sheets (CRS), and document transmittals
  • Review deliverables from external structural, civil, and marine engineering consultants before client submission

Client & Regulatory Interface

  • Independently respond to design comments from PSU clients, PMCs, and regulatory bodies
  • Manage drawing submissions through client document management portals; track approval status and drive closure
  • Prepare CRS responses and coordinate re-submissions within client-mandated timelines
  • Liaise with third-party vetting agencies as part of the statutory approval process

Consultant & Subcontractor Coordination

  • Act as primary technical interface with specialist consultants/contractors(structural, FEA, marine engineering, civil subcontractors)
  • Proactively track open items and drive closure flag blockers early, do not wait to be chased

Requirements

Essential

  • B.E./B.Tech in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering; M.Tech preferred
  • 512 years in solar or renewable energy EPC with a design and engineering focus
  • Demonstrated experience independently managing drawing reviews and comment resolution with PSU or government clients (SECI, NTPC, BHEL, GAIL, or equivalent)
  • Ability to draft and submit technical responses without supervision
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD; working knowledge of civil and structural design documentation standards
  • Strong written English most client communication in this role is email-based

Preferred but not a barrier to applying

  • Prior experience on a floating solar project
  • Familiarity with document management portals used by major PSUs in the power sector
  • Exposure to third-party structural or stability vetting processes
  • Any background in solar, marine, coastal, or water-body civil engineering
  • Experience coordinating FEA or structural stability analysis with external consultants
