Techno-Commercial Strategist

<p>At <strong>Reliance New Energy</strong>, we are building one of the world's most ambitious clean energy ecosystems, spanning <strong>Solar, Battery Energy Storage, Green Hydrogen, Power Electronics, and Advanced Energy Solutions</strong>. Our mission is to accelerate India's journey towards a sustainable and energy-secure future through innovation, technology, and world-class talent.</p><p><br></p><p>We are looking for passionate professionals who are excited to solve complex challenges, drive innovation, and create solutions that will shape the future of energy.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Role Summary</strong></p><p>Owns and Fully Understands the techno-commercial strategy behind RE-RTC, FDRE and hybrid (BESS focussed) projects. The candidate shall be instrumental and pivotal in shaping the technical configuration meeting the RTC requirement. The configuration shall be contingent upon being techno-commercially viable and gives leadership a clear, defensible view of choices made.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Technical Strategy ownership — </strong>Lead the techno-commercial case, configuration choice, risk pricing and the final techno-commercial recommendation. Independently evaluate the options available and proposed by engineering teams.</li><li><strong>Configuration trade-offs — </strong>Work with engineering to size solar, BESS and wind shares against the availability and CUF targets. Find the lowest-cost mix that still clears the technical bar.</li><li><strong>Energy modelling — </strong>Build and stress-test bid energy models. Understanding and experience of HOMER, PLEXOS and other such energy modelling industry-standard software platforms.</li><li><strong>RE Firming Models— </strong>Evaluate requirements for Solar RTC, FDRE, peak-power and firm-supply options. Decode various such models based on availability obligations, penalties, off-take terms and convert into commercial assumptions.</li><li><strong>Financial understanding</strong> — Clear understanding of how various financial parameters affect the decision - capex, opex, tariff, IRR, DSCR — across CUF, degradation, tariff and interest-rate scenarios.</li><li><strong>Grid &amp; policy reading — </strong>Track CERC connectivity and GNA rules, ISTS waivers, SECI/NTPC tender patterns and state policies that impact the analysis and outcome.</li><li><strong>Competitive positioning — </strong>Map likely competitor strategies and pricing.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Required Experience &amp; Qualifications</strong></p><ul><li>~12 years in utility-scale solar, BESS or hybrid power, mostly on the owner / IPP / developer side.</li><li>A proven record of bidding and winning Solar RTC and FDRE tenders (or similar firm / dispatchable renewable tenders).</li><li>Direct ownership of techno-commercial bid positions, not just support to them.</li><li>Strong grasp of solar and BESS technology, plant configuration and the cost levers behind each.</li><li>Deep command of energy modelling and good understanding of bid financial modelling and project finance metrics.</li><li>Working knowledge of CERC / CEA regulations, ISTS connectivity and the SECI / NTPC tender ecosystem.</li><li>B.E. / B.Tech (Electrical or Energy preferred); MS/ M. Tech in Renewable or related field, MBA is a strong plus.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Skills &amp; Attributes</strong></p><ul><li>Sharp technical judgement — can defend analysis to senior leadership.</li><li>Comfortable holding both the technical and the financial picture at once.</li><li>Clear, concise communicator who simplifies complex RTC conditions for decision-makers.</li><li>Calm and accurate under tight deadlines.</li></ul><p><br></p>
