To identify, monitor and mitigate risks across the entire lifecycle of renewable energy projects-from conception and award through procurement, construction, commissioning, operations, and asset life-by integrating execution, market, climate, ESG, and financial risks into decision-making.

This role is a critical enabler for protecting and enhancing EIRR and ensuring capital disciplined through robust risk governance, realistic assumptions, and actionable insights.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lifecycle Risk Management:

- Analyze and manage risks across land, permitting, connectivity, resource assessment, procurement, construction, commissioning, operations, and asset life.

- Explicitly assess procurement risks including:

- Price volatility, FX exposure, customs duties, ALMM / domestic sourcing risks

- Vendor financial health, delivery slippages, warranty enforceability and contract enforcement

Evaluate market risks:

- Tariff adequacy , merchant exposure, curtailment risk

- Payment security, change-in-law and regulatory uncertainty

- Macro-economic changes and impact on business

- Assess climate and physical risks across project life:

- Resource variability (wind/solar deviation, degradation uncertainty)

- Extreme weather (flooding, cyclones, heat stress, dust, hail)

- Long-term climate change impacts on generation, availability, and O&M costs

- Identify ESG and social risks and suggest risk mitigation actions:

- Land acquisition complexity, community opposition, livelihood impact

- Biodiversity, forest, wildlife, and compliance risks

- Labour, HSE, contractor practices, and reputational exposure

- Analyze correlated and cumulative risks, rather than isolated issues, for:

- IRR/EIRR erosion

- COD slippages

- Cost overruns and long-term asset performance

2. Schedule - Cost - Revenue Risk Integration:

- Integrate land readiness, connectivity milestones, regulatory approvals, procurement timelines, construction progress, and contractual obligations into risk-adjusted forecasts.

- Quantify impact of delays and disruptions on:

- IDC and financing costs

- LD exposure (EPC, transmission, PPA)

- PPA revenue loss, merchant downside, O&M recovery

- Develop downside/upside scenarios for COD

- Validate assumptions using historical project data, vendor performance data, and site feedback.

- Challenge optimistic schedules, cost assumptions, and recovery plans with evidence-based analysis.

- Ensure alignment with engineering and land controls (ROW readiness, hydrology clearance, geotechnical risk, design loss discipline).

3. Portfolio-Level & Strategic Risk Assessment:

Assess portfolio exposure to:

- Technology concentration (FT vs trackers, turbine platforms, BESS chemistries)

- Geographic and climate clustering risks

- Vendor and supply-chain concentration

- Evaluate emerging technology and market developments (hybrids, RTC, storage, ancillary markets) for strategic and balance-sheet risk.

- Support decisions with risk-adjusted returns, not headline IRRs.

4. Management & Board Reporting:

- Develop risk dashboards, heatmaps, and sensitivity analyses with quantified financial exposure.

- Maintain a dynamic enterprise risk register with early-warning indicators.

- Present forward-looking risk outlooks to senior management and investment committees.

- Ensure KPI-linked accountability across BD, procurement, projects, regulatory, and O&M teams.

5. Data, Systems & Tools Development:

- Structure and integrate risk data from BD, PD, procurement, regulatory, legal, projects, and O&M.

- Define standard risk metrics (schedule risk, procurement risk premium, resource uncertainty, ESG exposure).

- Maintain a single source of truth for generation-risk attribution, aligned with O&M analytics and financial models.

- Continuously improve risk modelling frameworks and decision tools.

Key Skills & Competencies:

- Strong scenario modelling, probabilistic risk analysis, and sensitivity assessment capability.

- Deep understanding of renewable project execution realities (solar, wind, hybrid, BESS).

- Strong grasp of procurement economics, supply-chain risks, and contract structures.

- Ability to bridge engineering execution, ESG realities, and financial outcomes.

- High analytical rigor combined with practical, on-ground judgement.

- Confidence to challenge senior stakeholders with data-backed insights.

Qualifications & Experience:

- MBA (Finance) with B-Tech / Engineering / Economics background or CA

- 5-12 years of experience in project/ corporate finance with some exposure to risk.

- Direct exposure to live project execution, procurement, or asset operations is strongly preferred.
