Job Description

The Technical Coordinator will be responsible for leading all technical aspects of livelihood and energy interventions in Arunachal Pradesh. This includes system design, technical assessments, installation oversight, pilot technology implementation, and ongoing maintenance. The role also involves managing technical planning, tracking progress, and ensuring quality and efficiency across all installations and projects.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Assessment & System Design

   • Conduct technical feasibility assessments for solar-based livelihood solutions.
   • Design systems considering load requirements, voltage, wattage, battery capacity, and usage patterns.
   • Develop appropriate technical configurations suited to remote and hill-based contexts.

2. Installation & Technical Implementation

   • Oversee installation of solar systems, machines, and related equipment.
   • Ensure quality control, safety standards, and proper system integration.
   • Provide on-ground technical guidance during implementation.

3. Pilot Technology & Innovation

   • Support testing and deployment of new and pilot technologies.
   • Evaluate performance, efficiency, and adaptability in field conditions.
   • Identify improvements and support scaling of successful solutions.

4. Operations, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

   • Monitor system performance, including solar panels, batteries, and machines.
   • Diagnose and resolve technical issues in coordination with field teams and vendors.
   • Ensure regular maintenance and long-term functionality of installations.

5. Technical Management & Coordination

   • Maintain trackers, project timelines, and milestones for all technical activities in Arunachal Pradesh.
   • Coordinate with program, operations, and field teams to ensure smooth execution.
   • Support vendor management and technical procurement processes.

6. Documentation & Reporting

   • Maintain detailed technical documentation, system designs, and installation records.
   • Share regular updates on progress, challenges, and technical performance.
   • Ensure compliance with design standards and internal protocols.

7. Documentation & Case Study Development

   • Create technical case notes for each pilot/installation (system sizing rationale, configuration, BOM, and deviations from standard design with justification).
   • Maintain commissioning and handover documentation (test results, as-built drawings, O&M checklists, warranties) in a structured repository.
   • Document performance baselines and post-installation observations to support impact measurement and future design improvements.
   • Capture technical learnings from failures/repairs (root cause, corrective actions, preventive measures) and share as internal learning briefs.
   • Collaborate with program teams to contribute technical inputs to external case studies, proposals, and donor reports.

Experience & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (B.Tech) - preferably in Electrical, Mechanical, Renewable Energy, or related fields.
• 2-3 years of experience in solar energy systems, rural energy solutions, or technical project implementation.
• Experience in system design, load calculations, and field-level technical execution.
• Prior experience in Northeast India or remote/hilly regions is preferred.

Preferred Skills

• Strong understanding of solar systems (panels, batteries, inverters, load management).
• Ability to design and adapt solutions based on field conditions.
• Project management skills, including tracking milestones and timelines.
• Problem-solving approach with hands-on technical capability.
• Good coordination and communication skills.
• Computer Proficiency
