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.

- 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 strong 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 solid 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.
