Lead - Anchoring and Mooring - New Delhi - Floatex Solar

Description

Floatex Solar is India's leading floating solar technology company with over 1 GW of delivered capacity and 70% market share. We design, engineer, and deploy floating solar power plants on reservoirs, lakes, and dams across India — working with NHPC, NTPC, SJVN, L&T, and other major utilities.

We're looking for an experienced Anchoring & Mooring Engineer / Naval Architect to join our core engineering team and take ownership of mooring system design, anchor engineering, and stability analysis for our floating solar projects.

What You'll Do

• Design and analyze mooring systems for floating solar arrays on inland water bodies (reservoirs, dams, lakes) across varying water depths and bed conditions
• Perform mooring analysis using software such as MOSES, OrcaFlex, or equivalent — covering intact and damaged line conditions using frequency domain and time domain simulations
• Design gravity anchors, drag anchors, and pile anchors suited to diverse geotechnical conditions (silt, clay, rock, sandy beds)
• Conduct stability calculations for ferrocement Inverter Floating Platforms (IFPs) and HDPE float assemblies using NAPA, Maxsurf, or equivalent tools
• Calculate maximum excursion during transient phases and validate mooring line tensions against allowable limits
• Develop mooring arrangement drawings, anchor dropping schedules, and mooring line length calculations for project execution teams
• Coordinate with external marine engineering consultants (classification society background preferred) for third-party design verification
• Support naval architecture calculations including freeboard, tonnage, scantling, and load-out/float-off assessments for platform transport and installation
• Prepare Design Basis Reports (DBR) and Buoyancy Calculation Reports for client and regulatory submissions

What We're Looking For

Must Have:

• B.Tech / B.E. in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, or Marine Engineering from a recognized institution (IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IMU, CUSAT, or equivalent)
• 3–8 years of experience in mooring analysis and anchor design — offshore oil & gas, marine construction, or floating structures
• Proficiency in MOSES, OrcaFlex, NAPA, Maxsurf, or equivalent hydrodynamic/stability software
• Strong understanding of mooring system types — catenary, taut, and semi-taut configurations
• Experience with gravity anchor design and anchor holding capacity calculations
• Familiarity with classification society rules and standards (DNV, BV, ABS, IRS, API RP 2SK)
• Ability to work with AutoCAD for mooring arrangement drawings

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience at a classification society (DNV-GL, Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's, IRS) or marine consultancy
• Experience with floating renewable energy systems (floating solar, floating wind)
• Knowledge of Indian inland waterway and reservoir conditions
• Experience with frequency domain and time domain mooring simulations for "all lines intact" and "one line damaged" conditions
• Familiarity with load-in/load-out, dry docking, and launching calculations

Why Floatex?

• India's #1 floating solar company — you'll work on the largest projects in the country
• Greenfield engineering challenges — unlike repetitive offshore O&G work, every reservoir is different
• Small, high-impact team — your work directly shapes project outcomes
• Growing fast — 1 GW delivered, multi-GW pipeline ahead
• Real-world impact — clean energy on India's water bodies

Location & Compensation

• Based at Head Office in Delhi
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
