Job Description
**Head of Project Feasibility & Plant Operator (Strategy)** | Nagpur | Full-time | INR 24.9-64.6 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Project Feasibility & Financial Analysis - Strategy & Planning, under the Urban Waste-to-Energy vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Project Feasibility & Financial Analysis - Strategy & Planning
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core project feasibility & financial analysis - strategy & planning activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Waste-to-Energy Plant Operations regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Waste-to-Energy Plant Operations
- Financial Feasibility Analysis
- Energy Output Optimisation
- Financial Analysis
- Combustion Process Optimisation
- Project Feasibility
- Regulatory Compliance (Pollution Control Board)
- Emissions Monitoring & Compliance
- M.Sc (Environmental Science)
- 13+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
- New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments.
- The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
- The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
- Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
- The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
- Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving.
- Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held.
- Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
- There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
- Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
- Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
- Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
