Role Overview

This position is centered on electrical testing, pre-commissioning, and final commissioning activities for power and solar projects in Ahmedabad. The engineer will help verify installation readiness, support energization, coordinate with equipment manufacturers and site teams, and ensure all work aligns with safety, statutory, and technical requirements.

Pre-Commissioning and Testing

• Carry out and oversee pre-commissioning checks for DC and AC systems, including insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, interlock, and functional testing.
• Confirm that electrical systems are ready for energization by clearing punch points and checking conformity with approved drawings.

Commissioning and Energization

• Commission inverters, transformers, HT/LT panels, switchgear, protection relays, and earthing systems.
• Support grid synchronization and energization work in collaboration with utility personnel and client-side representatives.
• Make sure commissioning work follows applicable regulations, grid requirements, and safety standards.

OEM and Interface Coordination

• Liaise with OEM teams for inverters, transformers, relays, and SCADA during testing and commissioning.
• Assist in connecting electrical systems with SCADA and communication networks.

Troubleshooting and Resolution

• Diagnose and fix commissioning issues such as protection trips, communication breakdowns, and performance mismatches.
• Support root-cause analysis and the rollout of corrective measures.

Safety and Compliance

• Apply and enforce electrical safety practices, including LOTO, PTW, and site safety procedures throughout commissioning.
• Take part in risk assessments and safety audits connected to testing and commissioning.

Documentation and Reporting

• Prepare test records, commissioning logs, checklists, and energization documentation.
• Help compile as-built drawings, commissioning dossiers, and O&M manuals.
• Share regular daily progress updates with senior engineers or project managers.

Site Coordination

• Work with construction, QA/QC, and EHS teams to ensure the site is ready for commissioning.
• Help ensure a smooth handover from construction to commissioning and then to O&M teams.

Qualifications and Experience

A Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering is required. The role calls for 8 to 10 years of experience in testing and commissioning for solar, power, or EPC projects, with strong practical exposure to inverter-based power plants preferred.
