Director of Project Delivery — Interim, Solar and Storage

The mandate

The principal EPC contractor entered insolvency with three hybrid projects between fifty and eighty per cent complete. The delivery director resigned during asset and subcontractor reconciliation, leaving warranties, design files and site custody unresolved.

The interim must begin within two weeks for eighteen months through remobilisation and commercial operation of all three assets. The delivery office then transfers residual warranty and punch-list ownership to Asset Management.

Handover requires 620 MW solar and 480 MWh storage accepted by offtakers, final cost within the reset ₹420 crore contingency, all safety-critical punch items closed, and Asset Management accepting complete warranty and configuration dossiers.

The director may secure sites, novate eligible subcontracts and approve recovery work below ₹1 crore. Replacement EPC awards above ₹10 crore, contingency use above plan and claim settlements need committee consent; lenders and offtakers retain independent completion tests.

New project development, power trading and operating optimisation after acceptance are excluded. The mandate completes the stranded assets and transfers them with clean technical and contractual records.

Why this seat is open

EPC insolvency collapsed the integrated delivery structure while work remained exposed on site. Leadership departure made preservation and remobilisation decisions slower than asset deterioration. A finite project director must recover custody, finish construction and close the temporary delivery office.
