Assistant Manager– Electrical DC (Electrical Infrastructure for large-scale Solar PV projects)

Assistant Manager– Electrical DC

Key Responsibilities:

DC Electrical Execution:

• Manage and manage execution of all DC works including PV module stringing, DC cabling, combiner boxes, junction boxes, and interconnections with inverter stations.
• Validate string designs, layouts, and cable sizing against engineering drawings and site conditions.
• Oversee installation, megger testing, IV curve tracing, and pre-commissioning checks for DC systems.
• Ensure reliable integration of DC side infrastructure with AC systems and SCADA.
• Monitor progress to align DC works with overall construction and commissioning schedule.

Quality & Compliance:

• Implement robust QA/QC processes, ITPs, and method statements for DC electrical scope.
• Conduct inspections for module mounting earthing/grounding, crimping, terminations, polarity checks, insulation resistance, and string testing.
• Enforce compliance with IEC, IS, IEEE, NEC, and OEM guidelines.
• Drive non-conformance identification, closure, and preventive measures.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation for audits, handover, and warranty compliance.

Project Management & Controls:

• Track schedule, budget, and productivity KPIs for DC execution.
• Ensure timely availability of modules, DC cables, connectors, tools, and testing equipment.
• Identify risks such as module damage, cabling errors, or testing delays, and implement mitigation strategies.
• Prepare and submit regular reports, dashboards, and compliance updates for management.

Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement:

• Lead, mentor, and monitor site engineers, supervisors, and contractors.
• Act as the primary interface with EPC contractors, consultants, and OEMs for DC-side execution.
• Collaborate with AC, civil, and commissioning teams to ensure synchronized project delivery.
• Promote a culture of zero-defect, safety-first, and accountability at site.

Key Skills & Competencies:

• Strong technical expertise in DC electrical systems for utility-scale solar PV plants.
• Proven knowledge of PV modules, string design, cabling practices, combiner boxes, and DC testing.
