About the role (short)

You'll run government solar projects (TPNODL ULA-style contracts and PM-SuryaGhar household rooftop work) end-to-end — from bid/tender documentation and vendor management to site execution, commissioning, subsidy/submission workflows and O&M handover. This role requires strong hands-on knowledge of government project documentation, DISCOM/net-metering processes, MNRE/PM-SuryaGhar procedures and practical execution experience on rooftop and small ground-mounted solar installs.

3) DISCOM / Net-metering & interconnection paperwork (TPNODL / local DISCOM)

• Application for grid-connection / net-metering (DISCOM forms), service connection number, grid clearance / net-meter installation certificate and DISCOM approval letters. Knowledge of DISCOM portals and local net-metering process (application → joint inspection → GRN / net-meter commissioning).

5) Installation & Commissioning paperwork

• Site acceptance checklists, single-line diagrams (SLD), installation drawings, earthing & insulation test reports (megger), I-V & STC test certificates, Joint Inspection / Commissioning Report (JCR) and commissioning certificates.

6) Compliance, subsidy claims & reporting

• Subsidy claim files (Project Completion Report, subsidy sanction & release documents), MNRE / state nodal agency compliance documents, certificate of completion, and project closeout pack. Familiarity with PM-SuryaGhar portal flows for subsidies and documentation submission.

7) Quality, safety & O&M

• QA/QC checklists, vendor FAT reports, O&M manuals, warranty tracking, operation logs, energy yield reports, maintenance schedules and safety permits / site HSE records.

• Prepare and review all project documents (tenders, contract annexures, BoQ, SLDs, POs, inspection certificates, commissioning reports, subsidy claim packages).
• Manage procurement of modules, inverters, mounting structures, cables, meters and ancillary items — negotiate with manufacturers, ensure receipt of type test certificates and warranty documents, maintain GRN and store ledger.
• Coordinate with DISCOM (TPNODL) for net-metering approvals, joint inspections and grid-connectivity paperwork; track application status on DISCOM/RTS portals.
• Run PM-SuryaGhar beneficiary onboarding workflows (help households submit required documents, bank details, and ensure EPC / subsidy paperwork completeness).
• Ensure field QA: site readiness checks, SLD sign-offs, earthing & insulation tests, I-V curve testing, and prepare JCRs and commissioning certificates.
• Maintain all project MIS: procurement logs, inventory registers, vendor ledger, subsidy claim tracker and project completion dossiers.
• Ensure compliance with MNRE / state guidelines and facilitate audits.

Required qualifications & experience

• Hands-on experience with procurement, vendor management, store control and ERP/inventory systems.
• Excellent documentation skills, MS Excel proficiency and ability to prepare subsidy/claim packs and MIS.
