- Provide technical leadership for Power Transformers, Circuit Breakers, CTs, PTs, Isolators, Lightning Arresters, Busbars, Switchgear, and Control & Protection Panels.
- Lead technical troubleshooting, engineering reviews, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for complex electrical issues.
- Support Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT),



pre-commissioning, commissioning, and project energization activities.
- Review engineering calculations, equipment selection, technical specifications, vendor drawings, and engineering deliverables.
- Ensure compliance with IEC, IEEE, IS standards, project specifications, and client requirements.
- Coordinate with clients, consultants, EPC teams, OEMs, vendors, and project execution teams throughout the project lifecycle.
- Guide engineering teams on transformer engineering, protection philosophy, relay coordination, testing methodologies, and substation engineering.
- Monitor engineering schedules, project milestones, technical quality, and engineering deliverables.
- Mentor engineering teams and provide technical guidance throughout project execution.
- Support technical bid evaluations, engineering documentation, project planning, and design optimization activities.

Required Skills

- Strong technical knowledge of Power Systems, Power Transformers, HV/EHV Substations, and Switchyard Engineering.
- In-depth understanding of Differential, Distance, REF, Overcurrent, Earth Fault, and other Protection Systems.
- Hands-on knowledge of Transformer Testing including TTR, Winding Resistance, Tan Delta, Insulation Resistance, Vector Group Verification, Magnetic Balance, and related electrical tests.




- Strong understanding of Circuit Breakers, CTs, PTs, Isolators, Lightning Arresters, Busbars, Relay Panels, and Control & Protection Systems.
- Ability to independently review SLDs, GA Drawings, Wiring Diagrams, Protection Schematics, and Electrical Design Documents.
- Excellent troubleshooting, engineering review, technical decision-making, and fault analysis skills.
- Strong leadership, stakeholder management, planning, and communication skills.

Qualifications

- B.E. or B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (M.Tech preferred).
- 10–18 years of experience with Electrical EPC Companies, Transformer Manufacturers, OEMs, or Power Transmission Project Execution organizations.
- Proven experience leading engineering teams for Power Transformer, HV/EHV Substation, or Switchyard projects.
- Must be located within commutable distance to New Delhi, Delhi, India.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with Transformer Manufacturers, Electrical EPC Companies, OEMs, or Power Transmission projects.
- Experience handling engineering activities for substations rated 132 kV, 220 kV, or above.
- Hands-on involvement in FAT, SAT, pre-commissioning, commissioning, testing, and energization activities.
- Robust knowledge of IEC, IEEE, and IS standards related to power systems and electrical equipment.
- Experience in engineering design review, technical bid evaluation, vendor document review, project planning, and technical documentation.
