  • Manage project schedules, budgets, and resource allocations across one or more active substation projects.
  • Identify project risks, develop mitigation strategies, and proactively resolve issues to maintain project performance.
  • Facilitate communications with clients, utilities, and stakeholders, providing regular progress updates and issue resolution.
  • Support and enforce site safety programs, environmental compliance, and quality assurance protocols.
  • Provide leadership and direction to field personnel, subcontractors, and junior project staff.
  • Perform site visits and inspections to verify progress, safety compliance, and quality of construction activities.
  • Coordinate substation work with transmission line construction and grid interconnection requirements to ensure successful energization.
  • Prepare regular reports, forecasts, and project documentation for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications :

  • Minimum of 5+ years of industry experience as a Project Engineer or Project Manager overseeing EPC projects in Renewable Energy, Power Plant, or Electrical Substation construction.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Management, or Construction Management preferred; candidates with 10+ years of directly relevant professional experience in the electric power industry will also be considered.
  • Proven track record managing all phases of EPC project execution, including engineering coordination, procurement oversight, construction management, and commissioning support.
  • Strong working knowledge of medium-voltage substation systems, including switchgear, transformers, protective relays, and SCADA systems.
  • Solid understanding of high-voltage transmission (HVT) systems and associated construction and commissioning practices.
  • Proficient in project management software and tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6, Procore, or equivalent).
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills with the ability to manage multidisciplinary teams and subcontractors.
  • Skilled at reading and interpreting technical documents, specifications, and electrical drawings to support design reviews and field execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage project budgets, schedules, and resources while ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards.
  • Willingness to travel 25–35% to project sites as required.
