Job Description
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. Skilled & 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 clear 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.
