Manager / Senior Analyst - Project Delivery Coordinator

DESRI (formerly D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments) is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects throughout the United States. We have acquired or developed approximately 13 gigawatts of contracted capacity across a portfolio of over 85 renewable energy projects in 24 states.

• Operate as an embedded member of the PDL team, participating in project calls, email traffic, internal discussions, and other day-to-day activities across the CDL’s portfolio.
• Develop a deep understanding of the PDL role, including project workflows, contractual obligations, recurring deliverables, project milestones and administrative requirements.
• Identify & support recurring administrative burdens and process inefficiencies that consume PDL time.
• Surface and implement opportunities for automation, process improvement, standardization, or expanded support from DESRI’s Hyderabad office.
• Define and coordinate solutions with the appropriate U.S. and Hyderabad teams — designing the mechanism and routing work to the right owner, rather than absorbing administrative tasks directly.
• Create and maintain standard operating procedures, trackers, contract exhibits, and other key process documents used within Project Delivery.
• Support implementation and adoption of improved workflows and automation tools.
• Support and strengthen existing DESRI Hyderabad Project Delivery workstreams, including lender reporting, transaction support, and project performance testing.
• Improve and standardise Hyderabad-supported processes across document management, milestone coordination, landowner payments, account setup, and vendor invoicing.
• Identify and build the case for expanding Hyderabad support into areas such as change order review, lender diligence, and project schedule coordination.
• Serve as a bridge between the U.S. Project Delivery organisation and Hyderabad — supporting project-specific analysis where needed, driving more consistent processes across PDLs and projects, and identifying where deeper integration can create meaningful value.
• Help enable PDL’s to focus more of their bandwidth on critical-path relationship and judgment-intensive aspects of project delivery.
• Qualifications
• B.E./B.Tech in Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering, or a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, or Construction Management or related field.
• Around 5–7 years of experience, with large infrastructure or energy projects — in project delivery, project management, project controls, development, owner’s engineer / PMC, infrastructure advisory, or infrastructure investing. Renewable energy experience is preferred but not required.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand complex workflows and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Demonstrated curiosity around technology, automation, and process improvement, ideally with evidence of having built or implemented something that lasted.
• Working knowledge of project scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 or MS Project and strong Excel skills; exposure to Power BI, Power Automate, SharePoint, or Smartsheet is an advantage.
• Strong organisational and written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work directly with senior U.S.-based stakeholders.
• Comfort operating across multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously, in an environment where scope is not always fully defined.
• A proactive and intellectually curious approach, with the judgment to identify problems, develop recommendations, and coordinate solutions with more senior team members
