at DESRI

• Job title: Analyst, Senior Analyst – Detailed Design
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Hyderabad, India

About the role

• Civil Engineer supporting detailed design for utility-scale PV projects. Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to ensure effective project execution.

Responsibilities

• Lead or support civil detailed design for utility-scale PV projects from concept to Issue for Construction (IFC), ensuring designs are accurate, constructible, and cost-effective.
• Develop and refine site layouts, grading, and drainage using AutoCAD Civil 3D; evaluate tracker slope tolerances, spacing, shading/obstructions, and constructability.
• Perform mass grading/cut-fill analyses and optimize earthwork balance; plan access roads, internal circulation, laydown areas, and substation/collector pads.
• Execute hydrologic and stormwater analyses (flood, erosion, inundation), and propose mitigation (e.g., channels, culverts, energy dissipation, erosion control).
• Consolidate topographic, geotechnical, environmental, and civil datasets to drive layout iterations; run multiple optimizations passes and clearly summarize trade-offs.
• Coordinate closely with Geotech, Electrical, Structural, GIS, and Project Management teams to ensure integrated designs and smooth handoffs to EPC partners.

Requirements

• A Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) in Civil Engineering with 2-4 years or a Master of Technology (M. Tech) in Civil or related specialization with 1-3 years of relevant experience in large-scale solar, renewable, or land-development projects
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS); comfortable working with large site datasets (DEM/LiDAR, surfaces, survey, environmental constraints).
• Working knowledge of grading, drainage, erosion control, access road design, and tracker-driven layout constraints for utility-scale PV.
• Ability to run iterative design optimizations and communicate conclusions via well-organized drawings and design summaries.
• Experience with hydrology/stormwater tools (e.g., HEC-RAS, HydroCAD, Civil Storm) and layout production tools (PVcase).
• Familiarity with U.S. codes/standards and permitting practices (e.g., OSHA/EPA guidance; knowledge of ASTM/NEC interfaces during civil–electrical coordination).
• Exposure to construction means/methods, field commissioning, and value-engineering for cost and schedule optimization.
