2. Erection and Installation:

• Oversee the physical construction and installation of substation equipment, including transformers, switchgear, protection panels, and control systems.
• Monitor the erection of power lines, busbars, and grounding systems.
• Ensure proper installation of high-voltage equipment and oversee the setting up of transformers and associated electrical devices.
• Work with the project management team to ensure that all installation schedules are met and that any delays are addressed promptly.
• Conduct site surveys and ensure the equipment meets design specifications and local electrical standards.

3. Testing and Commissioning:

• Lead and supervise the testing of electrical equipment and systems after installation.
• Verify the integrity of insulation, grounding, and protection systems.
• Test circuit breakers, relays, transformers, and other key components to ensure they operate correctly.
• Commission the substation and integrate it into the grid or client network.
• Prepare and submit testing reports, and address any issues arising during the testing phase.

4. Compliance and Safety:

• Ensure that all work complies with local, national, and international standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ANSI).
• Implement health and safety protocols during all phases of the project, from planning through commissioning.
• Conduct safety audits and inspections during the installation process.
• Train field staff and technicians on proper safety practices and equipment handling.

5. Project Management:

• Manage project timelines and budgets, ensuring the substation erection is completed efficiently and within the allocated resources.
• Liaise with clients, contractors, and vendors to ensure the timely delivery of equipment and services.
• Prepare progress reports and update stakeholders on key project milestones.

6. Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

• Conduct periodic inspections and maintenance of substation equipment.
• Troubleshoot and resolve any electrical or mechanical issues that may arise in the substation.
• Support operational teams during any upgrades, repairs, or expansions to the substation.

7. Documentation and Reporting:

• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation, including design drawings, installation procedures, test reports, and maintenance logs.
• Provide final as-built documentation after project completion.
• Ensure proper project handover, including user manuals, equipment certifications, and maintenance guidelines.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. A Master's degree or professional certifications (e.g., PMP, PE) is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in substation design, erection, or maintenance. Previous work with high-voltage systems is preferred.
• Certifications: Professional Engineer (PE) license, or similar, is advantageous.
• Skills: Experience with AutoCAD, electrical simulation software, SCADA systems, and power systems analysis.

Physical and Environmental Requirements:

• Ability to work in outdoor, remote, or challenging environments, including construction sites.
• Willingness to travel to various project sites as required.
• Must be able to lift and carry heavy equipment and work at heights.
