Solar Structural Engineer – Ground Mount Solar Power Plants

Role Overview

The Solar Structural Engineer will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and supporting execution of steel and RCC structures used in utility-scale ground mount solar power plants. The role combines design office work with site coordination to ensure structural safety, cost optimization, and constructability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and analyze solar module mounting structures (MMS) for ground-mount projects.
• Perform structural calculations considering wind load, seismic load, and soil conditions.
• Design foundations (pile, RCC pedestal, micro-pile) based on geotechnical data.
• Prepare and review GA drawings, fabrication drawings, and BOQs.
• Use STAAD Pro / ETABS / SAFE for structural analysis.
• Coordinate with civil, design, procurement, and project execution teams.
• Conduct site inspections to ensure drawings are followed during construction.
• Provide technical solutions for design changes and site challenges.
• Ensure compliance with IS codes (IS 800, IS 875, IS 456) and client specifications.

Technical Skills Required

• Strong knowledge of steel structure design for solar projects.
• Proficiency in STAAD Pro and AutoCAD (mandatory).
• Understanding of solar plant construction methodology.
• Ability to interpret soil test reports and optimize foundation designs.
• Experience in BOQ preparation and material optimization.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Minimum 3+ years experience in solar ground-mount structural design.
• Experience working with solar EPC or infrastructure projects.
• Strong analytical, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
• Willingness to support site teams when required.
