Industry & Sector: Renewable Energy — Utility-scale Solar PV / EPC projects delivering grid-connected solar power plants across India. This on-site role supports civil, mechanical and electrical interfaces during construction, testing and handover phases.
Primary title (standardized): EPC Site Electrical Engineer – Solar Projects
Location & Workplace: India — On-site (project sites across states)
About the Opportunity
Join a fast-paced solar EPC delivery team building utility-scale, grid-connected solar PV plants. You will lead field electrical activities—installation oversight, testing, commissioning and client handover—ensuring compliance with design, safety and local grid code requirements.
Role & Responsibilities
- Lead on-site electrical installation, pre-commissioning and commissioning for BOS and PV systems (MV/LV systems, switchyards, transformers, inverters).
- Plan, execute and witness FAT/SAT and commissioning tests for transformers, protection relays, switchgear and inverters; author and sign off test reports and punch lists.
- Configure and commission SCADA/RTU telemetry, CT/PT mapping and ensure reliable data flows to central monitoring systems.
- Supervise contractors and vendors, enforce quality control, resolve site electrical interface issues with civil/mechanical teams and client representatives.
- Implement electrical safety, permit-to-work and isolation procedures; ensure compliance with Indian grid codes and site HSE requirements.
- Prepare technical progress reports, as-built documentation, O&M handover packages and support client acceptance activities.
