Solar Power Evacuation Engineer

We are searching for an experienced

Solar Power Evacuation Engineer

to oversee the electrical infrastructure that transports solar-generated electricity from plant to grid. You will design, coordinate, and support all technical aspects of evacuation systems, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient integration with utility networks.

Key Responsibilities

Evacuation System Design:

Design and optimize medium- to high-voltage (MV/HV/EHV) evacuation systems, including step-up substations, switchgear, transformers, and overhead/underground transmission lines.

Grid Connection & Compliance

Evaluate grid-connection feasibility for CTU/STU/Discom networks, apply for connectivity, manage agreements, and secure permissions for evacuating solar power.

Electrical Analysis

Perform load flow, short circuit, protection, relay coordination, grounding, and reliability studies using tools like ETAP, PowerWorld, or PSS®E.

Technical Drawings & Specs

Prepare evacuation system layouts, single-line diagrams, panel drawings, cable routing plans, relay & metering schemes, and technical specifications.

Coordination & Approvals

Collaborate with CTU/STU/discom engineers to get engineering approvals, section 68/164, metering/telemetry sign-offs, and oversee statutory requirements like road, rail, and environmental clearances.

Stakeholder Collaboration

Engage with project teams, EPC contractors, external consultants, and vendors to align designs, procurement, and construction schedules.

Construction Oversight

Support erection, testing, and commissioning of transmission lines, substations, and switchyards; resolve design queries onsite and oversee quality control.

Operational Readiness

Coordinate synchronization, grid injectability, RLDC/SLDC registration, telemetry, and issue of charging permissions.

Documentation & Reporting

Prepare and maintain BOQs, drawings, cost estimates, schedules, test reports, approval documentation, and OTP/hand-over packs.

Mentoring & Leadership

Provide guidance to junior engineers, delegate tasks, review deliverables, and drive alignment with project milestones.

Education

Required Qualifications

B.Tech/B.E. in Electrical Engineering (Master’s preferred).

Experience

Power evacuation design for utility-scale solar or wind projects, with grid connectivity exposure.

Technical Skills

Expertise in design & analysis tools (ETAP, PowerWorld, PSS®E), AutoCAD electrical drafting, and MS Office. Knowledge of CTU/STU/discom processes, protection systems, relay coordination, metering/telemetry.

Regulatory Knowledge

Familiarity with Indian grid codes, IEC/IEEE standards, Section 68/164, NRLDC/SLDC, and metering regulations.

Soft Skills

Strong communication and stakeholder management; excellent analytical skills; proactive and deadline-driven; ability to travel for site and liaison visits.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with CTU/STU/discoms and regional/state grid operators.Knowledge of civil integration for switchyards and corridor ROW coordination.Professional credentials (e.g., Electrical design certification, PMP).Proven leadership in managing evacuation design teams or projects.
