Job Description
Urban Waste-to-Energy is looking for an experienced Principal Project Feasibility & Project Director (Ops) to take ownership of the Project Feasibility & Financial Analysis - Operations & Execution charter at a senior level. This is a role for someone who has already operated at scale and is comfortable setting direction rather than simply following one.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 9 years of progressively senior experience, holding M.Tech (Waste Management/Energy), with a demonstrated track record across Safety Management, Financial Feasibility Analysis, Project Feasibility, Financial Analysis, Emissions Monitoring & Compliance. Beyond individual capability, this role expects the person to mentor junior team members and represent the function in cross-departmental discussions.
Reporting relationships will be defined based on the final scope agreed at offer stage, and the role is based out of Nagpur on a leadership - full-time arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 24.0-49.3 LPA, reflecting the seniority and scope of the position.
Success in this role will be measured less by task completion and more by the quality of judgement applied to ambiguous, high-stakes situations within project feasibility & financial analysis - operations & execution.
High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. 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.
In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. 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. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process.
The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week.
