Project Coordinator

Role Summary

The Project Coordinator will lead the technical coordination of residential solar PV projects from the point the design is finalized until commissioning and final handover. The role focuses on aligning engineering standards, project timelines, and regulatory obligations while keeping communication flowing between customers, internal departments, and site teams.

Technical Responsibilities

• Organize and manage residential solar project activity from design completion through commissioning and handover.
• Check technical drawings, system layouts, single-line diagrams, and bill of quantities together with engineering teams.
• Carry out site assessments to verify structural suitability, electrical readiness, shading conditions, and installation limitations.
• Assist with system sizing, equipment choices, and configuration checks to ensure they match client needs and regulatory rules.
• Arrange installation timelines and make sure work follows the approved technical scope.
• Track installation quality on site, safety compliance, and alignment with engineering requirements.
• Handle technical issues that arise during installation and commissioning, including troubleshooting and resolution.
• Supervise inverter setup, grid synchronization, and performance verification activities.
• Work with authorities and utility providers on approvals, inspections, and grid-connection procedures.
• Keep complete records of as-built drawings, commissioning documentation, and compliance files.
