About The Firm & Requirement

Advait Battery Ecosystem Pvt. Ltd. is a high-growth clean energy company operating across Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). ABEPL is setting up a 2.5 GWh BESS Assembly Plant in Gujarat, covering the complete manufacturing chain from cell to module, module to pack, and pack to container, and is concurrently executing multiple BESS-based Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects for utility-scale battery storage deployment.

To support this expansion, AGPL seeks a Project Manager to own and drive the master project schedule for the BESS Assembly Plant – from plant build-out through commissioning and production ramp-up – and, in parallel, to track and coordinate the project schedules of AGPL's BESS IPP-based projects, ensuring manufacturing output and site-level delivery milestones stay aligned.

Designation: Project Manager – BESS Manufacturing & IPP Projects

Department: Projects / PMO

Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat (with travel to IPP project/site locations as required)

Mode of Working: Full-time, on-site with periodic site travel

Target Joining: As per business requirement

Educational Qualification & Criteria

• B.E. / B.Tech in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or Industrial Engineering.

• PMP / PRINCE2 or equivalent project-management certification strongly preferred.

• MBA is an added advantage but not mandatory.

Experience

• 8–12 years in project management/project planning & scheduling, with exposure to both capital-project execution (plant setup, EPC, commissioning) and utility-scale power or energy-storage project delivery.

• Prior experience managing manufacturing-plant projects alongside customer-facing IPP / EPC power projects is highly preferred.

Professional & Personal Abilities

• Strong hands-on command of MS Project and/or Primavera P6 for schedule development,



resource loading, critical-path analysis, and baseline/variance tracking.

• Comfortable managing two parallel project portfolios – an internal capex/manufacturing schedule and multiple external, contractually-milestoned IPP project schedules – without losing sight of either.

• Working understanding of the BESS/IPP project lifecycle – tendering, EPC execution, equipment dispatch, grid connectivity/interconnection approvals, commissioning, and handover to O&M.;

• Strong stakeholder-management and escalation skills; able to interface confidently with senior management, EPC contractors, equipment vendors, transmission utilities/DISCOMs, and internal cross-functional teams.

• Sharp analytical ability to translate complex, multi-workstream schedules into transparent dashboards and management-ready reports; comfortable tying schedule slippage to cost and delivery risk.

• High ownership and follow-through – proactively surfaces risks and drives recovery plans rather than only reporting status.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Develop, own and maintain the master project schedule for the BESS Assembly Plant (2.5 GWh) – covering civil works, plant & machinery installation, utility tie-ins, commissioning, and production ramp-up.

• Track critical path, milestones and interdependencies across EPC contractors, equipment vendors,



and internal Engineering/Production teams for the manufacturing project; proactively flag and escalate schedule risks.

• Own and track project schedules for AGPL's BESS IPP-based projects – from order booking through manufacturing, dispatch, site installation, and commissioning – in coordination with the respective project/site teams.

• Bridge the manufacturing production schedule with outbound IPP project delivery commitments, ensuring dispatch plans are aligned with site readiness, logistics lead-times, and contractual milestones.

• Prepare and circulate periodic (weekly/monthly) schedule status reports and dashboards for management review, covering both the manufacturing project and the IPP project portfolio.

• Liaise with EPC contractors, OEM suppliers, transmission utilities/DISCOMs, and internal stakeholders to track IPP project approvals, grid-connectivity milestones, and commissioning schedules.

• Maintain RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) and contract milestone trackers; drive corrective/recovery action plans where schedules slip.

• Support project cost/budget tracking in coordination with Finance and Procurement, highlighting cost impact of schedule changes where relevant.

• Chair and drive cross-functional coordination meetings (Engineering, Production, Procurement, Quality, Site/Project teams) to unblock schedule bottlenecks.

Soft Skills / Software Needed

• MS Project and/or Primavera P6 (mandatory – at least one), MS Excel and PowerPoint for dashboards/MIS, ERP exposure (SAP / Oracle or similar) an advantage; strong written and verbal communication for contractor and management reporting.
