Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Planning & Market Penetration

2. Sales Origination & Deal Closure

• Lead the site selection and secure large, contiguous land parcels.
• Navigate complex land title verification, zoning, and environmental/permitting clearances.
• Rooftop Solar (C&I Focus):
• Structure and negotiate Behind-the-Meter (BTM) PPAs or outright ownership models, emphasizing immediate electricity bill savings and ESG compliance.
• Financial Structuring: Lead negotiations for Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Energy Service Agreements (ESAs), ensuring commercial terms are viable under different financial models (CAPEX, OPEX/PPA, Lease).

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: Minimum of 8-10 years of progressive experience in Business Development or Project Development within the Solar PV sector.
• Solar PV Technical Knowledge (Critical):
• Ground-Mount: Proven experience with utility-scale project stages, including land due diligence, site assessment, grid interconnection processes, and transmission line right-of-way (ROW).
• Rooftop: Expert-level knowledge of structural assessments, different roofing types (PEB, RCC, Sheet Metal), net-metering schemes, and the financial drivers for commercial clients (e.g., meeting Renewable Purchase Obligations - RPOs).
