Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Validation of Operating Assets & Construction Sites

   • Conduct regular site visits to operating solar PV plants to verify actual performance against KPIs such as energy yield, availability, and performance ratio (PR).
   • Visit sites under development or construction to verify alignment between design drawings and on-site installation, identifying potential technical risks that may impact long-term operations.
   • Perform on-site inspections of major equipment and Balance of Plant (BOP) to verify physical condition, technical specifications, and data reliability.

2. O&M Management & Technical Coordination

   • Support the evaluation and selection of O&M service providers, including assessment of technical capabilities, warranties, response times, recovery times, and spare parts management.
   • Review technical terms in existing and new O&M contracts, ensuring alignment with site conditions and asset performance requirements.
   • Lead technical coordination with EPC contractors, equipment suppliers, and monitoring service providers on equipment specifications, defects, and operational issues.

3. Asset Handover (HOTO) & Technical Documentation

   • Conduct technical due diligence during plant completion and handover (HOTO), ensuring consistency between installed equipment and technical documentation.
   • Manage and consolidate technical documentation including BOQs, equipment datasheets, and monitoring/control system documentation, ensuring smooth transition from construction to operations.
   • Support the development and maintenance of standardized HOTO manuals and documentation processes.

4. Digital Monitoring & Portfolio Support

   • Troubleshoot on-site issues related to monitoring systems, including API connectivity and data integration, by verifying communication status and identifying technical solutions.
   • Coordinate with external monitoring providers to ensure seamless integration into Peak Energy's asset management platforms.
   • Support the structuring of on-site configurations into system-based data models to improve operational visibility and efficiency.

5. HSE & Internal Technical Governance

   • Monitor compliance with HSE standards, SOPs, and safety management systems across operational and construction sites.
   • Support HSE meetings, audits, and training activities.
   • Identify, document, and report technical risks and issues observed on-site, providing inputs for internal governance forums such as the Investment Committee (IC).
   • Provide technical insights and validation to the Country Head and management team based on on-site findings and operational data.
