Technical Project Manager (Solar PV & BESS Projects)
On-siteMuscat, Muscat, Oman
Job Summary
Lead feasibility assessments for solar PV projects, including site screening, resource analysis, and layout optimization. Perform preliminary BESS capacity calculations to determine optimal storage size, C-rate, and cycling strategies. Coordinate with engineering consultants and GIS teams on technical studies including yield simulations and grid connection analysis. Prepare pre-feasibility and technical due diligence reports while developing project financial models to calculate IRR, NPV, and DSCR. Review and redline technical provisions of PPAs and EPC contracts, flagging risks and inconsistencies. Serve as the primary technical interface between EPC contractors, lenders, and regulators, leading design development from concept through construction. Monitor development timelines and risks, ensuring alignment between project design, contractual requirements, and lender expectations.
