The Head – Mechanical will provide end-to-end leadership for mechanical execution of large-scale thermal power projects, covering BTG, Boiler, Turbine-Generator, BOP and associated mechanical packages. The role will be accountable for safe and timely execution, erection, quality, interface management, contractor performance, pre-commissioning and commissioning readiness of mechanical systems, while ensuring adherence to approved engineering specifications, project schedules and cost objectives. 1. Mechanical Project Execution
• Lead complete execution of mechanical works from engineering interface and site mobilisation through erection, testing and commissioning handover.
• Drive execution of major packages covering:
• Boiler and auxiliaries
• Steam Turbine-Generator and auxiliaries
• BOP mechanical systems
• Coal Handling Plant (CHP) and Ash Handling Plant (AHP)
• CW/ACW systems and cooling-water packages
• Pumps, compressors and associated rotating equipment
• Fuel oil and utility systems
• Piping, valves, tanks and pressure systems
• Fire-water and other mechanical utility packages
• Develop package-wise execution strategies and ensure field activities meet project milestones. 2. BTG / Boiler / Turbine Execution
• Provide technical and execution leadership for erection and commissioning readiness of boiler, turbine-generator and associated auxiliaries.
• Review critical erection sequences, equipment alignment, clearances, piping interfaces and system readiness.
• Coordinate closely with OEMs/EPC contractors for resolution of technical and site constraints. 3. BOP & Package Management
• Oversee Balance of Plant mechanical packages and integration with BTG, Electrical and C&I; systems.




• Monitor package progress against Level-2/Level-3 schedules and identify potential delays.
• Drive recovery plans for critical and delayed packages. 4. Engineering & Constructability
• Review mechanical drawings, specifications, layouts, P&IDs;, equipment data sheets and vendor engineering deliverables from an execution perspective.
• Lead constructability reviews before field execution.
• Resolve engineering-site interface issues and ensure timely closure of technical queries.
• Manage interfaces between Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, C&I; and Commissioning teams. 5. Planning & Project Controls
• Establish mechanical execution priorities aligned with the overall project master schedule.
• Monitor erection quantities, manpower deployment, equipment availability and site productivity.
• Conduct regular package-wise progress reviews with contractors and internal teams.
• Identify schedule risks early and implement mitigation/recovery plans. 6. Contractor & Vendor Management
• Lead mechanical contractors, OEM representatives and package vendors at site.
• Review contractor mobilisation, manpower, tools, tackles, cranes and construction equipment.
• Monitor productivity and adherence to contractual milestones.
• Resolve contractor, vendor and site-interface bottlenecks. 7. Quality Management
• Ensure execution in accordance with approved drawings, technical specifications, ITPs and applicable engineering standards.




• Drive inspection and quality control of erection, welding, NDT, alignment and piping activities.
• Ensure systematic closure of NCRs, punch points and quality observations before handover. 8. EHS Leadership
• Demonstrate solid site leadership on safety across all mechanical erection activities.
• Ensure high-risk activities such as heavy lifting, work at height, confined-space work, hot work, pressure testing and rotating-equipment activities are executed under approved safety controls.
• Partner with the EHS team to strengthen contractor safety performance. 9. Pre-commissioning & Commissioning Readiness
• Ensure mechanical systems are progressively completed and handed over for commissioning.
• Drive system-wise mechanical completion, punch-point closure and documentation readiness.
• Coordinate with commissioning teams for flushing, hydro-testing, lubrication, equipment trials and system commissioning.
• Ensure smooth transition from construction to commissioning and ultimately operations. 10. Leadership & Stakeholder Management
• Lead Mechanical package heads/managers, engineers and site teams.
• Coordinate with Project Head, Engineering, Planning/PMCG, Contracts, Quality, Safety and Commissioning.
• Develop strong collaboration with OEMs, EPC contractors, vendors and consultants.
• Provide periodic progress, risk and recovery-plan updates to project leadership. Educational Qualification
• B.
E./B.
Tech – Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university/institute.
• M.
Tech / postgraduate qualification in Engineering, Project Management or Construction Management would be advantageous.
• 20+ Years of Experience in Thermal Power Plant Sector.
