Company:                     Teamwork Energy — a concern of Teamwork Group
Department:                  Renewable Energy & Energy Storage
Reports To:                   Head of Technology
Employment Type:        Full-Time
Location:                      Gulshan 1, Dhaka, with regular travel to project sites

About the Role

Teamwork Energy is seeking a technically proficient and commercially aware engineering professional (Lead Solar Engineer) to lead the design and delivery of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage projects.

The Lead Solar Engineer will oversee the complete project lifecycle—from site assessment, feasibility studies and customer consultation to detailed engineering, budgeting, procurement support, installation, commissioning and handover. The role covers on-grid, off-grid and hybrid solutions for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional clients.

The successful candidate will combine hands-on engineering expertise with team leadership, sound commercial judgment and a strong commitment to safety, quality and project performance.

Key Responsibilities

1. Site Assessment & Feasibility

• Lead site surveys, shading assessments, electricity-consumption reviews and load-profile analysis.

• Assess rooftop and ground-mounted installation suitability, access, available space, electrical infrastructure and grid-connection constraints.

• Coordinate structural assessments and approvals with qualified civil or structural engineers.

• Evaluate technical and commercial feasibility, including expected generation, self-consumption, backup requirements and storage suitability.

2. Solar PV & BESS Design

• Develop and review system layouts, single-line diagrams, string configurations, equipment specifications and installation drawings.

• Perform energy-yield simulations using PVsyst, HelioScope or equivalent software; prepare engineering drawings using AutoCAD.

• Size PV arrays, inverters, cables, switchgear, protection devices, earthing and surge-protection systems.

• Select equipment based on performance, compatibility, certification, warranty, local service support and lifecycle cost.

• Engineer hybrid and storage solutions, including battery power and energy sizing, usable capacity, autonomy, degradation and operating limits.

• Evaluate AC- and DC-coupled configurations and coordinate integration of battery management systems (BMS), power conversion systems (PCS) and energy management systems (EMS).

• Coordinate grid, generator and battery operating modes, including approved export control, backup operation and protection arrangements.

3. Costing & Techno-Commercial Proposals

• Prepare and review bills of quantities (BOQs), bills of materials (BOMs), cost estimates and project budgets.

• Develop proposals covering technical scope, performance assumptions, exclusions, delivery schedules, warranties and commercial terms.

• Assess ROI, payback, lifecycle cost and, where appropriate, LCOE, NPV and IRR.

• Include realistic assumptions for tariffs, generation losses, degradation, maintenance, replacement costs and financing.

• Support CAPEX and OPEX/PPA proposals with the commercial and finance teams.

4. Procurement & Vendor Coordination

• Prepare technical procurement specifications and evaluate vendor quotations.

• Verify equipment compatibility, supporting test documentation and applicable product approvals.

• Coordinate suppliers, delivery schedules, material inspections and warranty requirements.

• Review proposed substitutions and control their impact on safety, performance, cost and delivery.

5. Installation & Project Management

• Lead engineers, technicians and subcontractors across multiple projects.

• Develop execution plans, resource schedules, installation procedures and quality inspection checkpoints.

• Monitor progress, budgets, variations and project risks; report issues and corrective actions to management.

• Ensure installations follow approved designs and manufacturer instructions.

• Enforce electrical isolation, lockout/tagout, working-at-height, lifting and other applicable site-safety procedures.

• Coordinate battery siting, ventilation or cooling, fire-safety provisions and emergency-response arrangements with qualified specialists.

6. Testing, Commissioning & Handover

• Prepare commissioning plans and oversee inspection, electrical testing, protection verification and functional testing.

• Coordinate utility witnessing and grid-connection approval where required.

• Verify inverter settings, monitoring systems and, where applicable, battery controls, alarms, operating modes and backup transitions.

• Resolve defects and maintain complete test records.

• Deliver as-built drawings, commissioning reports, equipment warranties, operating manuals and customer training.

• Support post-commissioning performance reviews, fault diagnosis and after-sales teams.

7. Compliance & Technical Leadership

• Maintain working knowledge of Bangladesh’s applicable electrical, building, fire-safety and utility requirements.

• Apply the Net Metering Guideline 2025 and subsequent amendments, relevant SREDA requirements and utility approval procedures.

• Ensure designs and testing follow applicable IEC standards, including PV array design and commissioning documentation requirements.

• Establish consistent design templates, review procedures and engineering documentation.

• Evaluate new technologies for practical suitability, safety, serviceability and commercial value.

• Mentor junior engineers and communicate technical recommendations clearly to clients and management.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE), Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline from a recognized university.

• A postgraduate qualification in renewable energy, power systems or energy engineering will be an advantage.

NB: Educational requirements may be relaxed for candidates with exceptional technical expertise and a proven track record in relevant projects.

Experience Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of relevant engineering experience, including substantial hands-on experience in solar PV design and project execution.

• At least 2 years of experience leading projects, engineering teams or subcontractors.

• Demonstrated delivery of commercial or industrial solar projects from assessment through commissioning and handover.

• Practical experience in project costing, procurement coordination, customer consultation and site supervision.

• Hands-on experience in hybrid inverter and battery-storage integration; commercial-scale BESS or microgrid experience is preferred.

• Applicants must provide a project portfolio identifying system capacities, project types, their responsibilities and delivery outcomes.

NB: Experience requirements may be relaxed for engineers who demonstrate exceptional technical expertise and proven competence in relevant projects.

Required Technical & other Skills

• Proficiency in AutoCAD and at least one solar simulation platform, such as PVsyst or HelioScope.

• Strong Excel skills for BOQs, budgeting, financial analysis and reporting.

• Sound knowledge of PV string sizing, inverter selection, cable calculations, protection coordination, earthing and grid interconnection.

• Working knowledge of LiFePO₄ battery systems, BMS/PCS/EMS integration and storage safety.

• Ability to interpret equipment datasheets, electrical drawings, simulation reports and commissioning results.

• Familiarity with remote monitoring, data logging and performance analysis.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• Experience with bifacial modules, modern high-efficiency module technologies, smart inverters and export-limitation controls.

• Familiarity with SCADA, Modbus communications, EMS configuration and secure remote access.

• Experience in industrial energy audits, transformer/substation interfaces and solar–battery–generator integration.

• Familiarity with ETAP, DIgSILENT, HOMER Pro or equivalent tools where relevant to project requirements.

• Relevant NABCEP or PMP certification, manufacturer training, or equivalent professional credentials.

• Recognized electrical-safety and working-at-height training; OSHA 30-hour or equivalent safety training will be an advantage.

Leadership & Professional Competencies

• Strong ownership, independent judgment and practical problem-solving ability.

• Effective client communication, technical presentation and stakeholder coordination.

• Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage subcontractor performance.

• Commercial awareness, negotiation skills and disciplined cost control.

• Ability to manage competing deadlines while maintaining safety and engineering quality.

• Professional communication skills in Bangla and English.

• Willingness to travel regularly and work at project sites as required.
