Understanding of PV quality issues, including module handling, torqueing, cable management, tracker alignment and punch list closure. Renewable Energy Site Manager recruitment requirements Support to energization, capacity testing, performance testing and reliability run readiness. BESS Utility-scale BESS installation, including battery containers, PCS, transformers, MV switchgear and auxiliary systems. Coordination of BESS foundations, container placement, fire detection and suppression systems, communications and controls. Understanding of BESS safety requirements, restricted access, energization risks and emergency response coordination. Support to BMS, EMS, PCS, SCADA, functional testing, capacity testing and commissioning readiness. Experience with hybrid renewable projects integrating PV, Wind and BESS is preferred. Site Execution Competencies Ability to read and understand construction drawings, IFC packages, method statements, inspection and test plans, and technical specifications. Strong knowledge of construction sequencing, access planning, logistics, site mobilization and work front management. Ability to monitor daily productivity, identify bottle necks, and drive corrective actions with contractors. Experience in managing large site teams, multiple subcontractors and parallel work fronts. Strong understanding of civil, electrical, mechanical and controls interfaces in renewable energy projects. Practical understanding of mechanical completion, punch list closure, handover dossiers and commissioning readiness. Ability to enforce site discipline, permit-to-work requirements, method statement compliance and stop work authority where required. Strong site reporting discipline, including daily reports, progress updates, photographs, constraints logs and action trackers. HSE Requirements Strong commitment to health, safety and environmental performance on large construction sites. Proven experience enforcing HSE requirements for lifting operations, working at height, electrical works, excavation, heavy transport, hot works, confined spaces and energization activities. Ability to participate in or lead toolbox talks, safety walks, site inspections, incident reviews and corrective action follow-up. Understanding of permit-to-work systems, lock-out/tag-out, energization procedures, exclusion zones and emergency response plans. Ability to challenge unsafe practices and stop unsafe work when necessary. Experience coordinating with HSE Managers and contractor HSE teams to improve site safety culture and compliance. Quality and enviromental Requirements Experience monitoring site quality against approved ITPs, method statements, drawings and specifications. Ability to coordinate inspections, witness points, hold points and acceptance of completed works. Renewable Energy Site Manager recruitment requirements Experience managing NCRs, site observations, punch lists and corrective action closure. Understanding of quality risks in civil works, electrical installation, mechanical installation, cabling, earthing, module handling, WTG installation and BESS installation. Ability to verify that works are ready for inspection, mechanical completion and commissioning handover. Strong attention to detail and ability to identify poor workmanship or non-compliant installation practices. Knowledge of environmental issues. Project Controls and Reporting Prepare or contribute to daily, weekly and monthly site progress reports. Track actual progress against baseline schedule and short-term look-ahead programmes. Monitor manpower, equipment, material availability, construction productivity and work front readiness. Maintain issue logs, constraints logs, interface registers, site action trackers and punch list status. Support progress measurement, milestone verification and contractor payment assessment where required. Use project management tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel, Power BI or similar reporting platforms as applicable. Escalate delays, resource shortages, access constraints, quality issues, HSE concerns and interface conflicts in a timely manner. Contractual and Commercial Awareness Understand site obligations under EPC contracts, technical specifications, HSE plans, quality plans and project procedures. Identify events that may lead to delays, claims, variations, disruption, rework or non-compliance. Maintain accurate site records to support contractual positions, claims defence and change management. Coordinate with the Project Manager, Contract Manager and Quantity Surveyor on site instructions, variations and contractor notices. Understand the importance of milestone dates, mechanical completion, commissioning, COD, liquidated damages and acceptance requirements. Avoid issuing informal instructions that may create unintended contractual or commercial exposure.
