Job description

Designation: Assistant Manager – Electrical Design

Department: Renewable Energy

Employment Type: Full Time, Permanent

Location: Hyderabad

Reporting To: Design Head

Role Overview

We are seeking a technically competent and detail‑oriented Assistant Manager – Electrical Design to support electrical design and engineering deliverables for solar PV/solar EPC projects. The role involves preparing and reviewing electrical designs, drawings, technical specifications, and BOQs/BOMs; coordinating with procurement, execution, civil/structural, and other teams; and ensuring that electrical design outputs meet project standards — ready for procurement and execution.

Key Roles & Responsibilities

• Prepare and review electrical design deliverables: single‑line diagrams (SLD), DC/AC layouts, cable‑sizing and routing, earthing/grounding plans, lightning protection, illumination & load calculations, etc.
• Perform electrical system calculations: load analysis; sizing of inverters/transformers/cables; protection coordination; voltage‑drop, earthing and grounding design; and ensure compliance with applicable design standards / codes.
• Prepare Bills of Materials (BOM) / Quantities (BOQ) and technical specifications for electrical equipment and materials (switchgear, inverters/transformers, panels, cables, protection devices, earthing materials, etc.).
• Generate and issue detailed electrical drawings and documents required across project phases — conceptual, tendering, detailed design, execution and as‑built documentation.
• Coordinate with civil/structural, mechanical (if any), procurement, project‑management and site‑execution teams to ensure electrical design integrates seamlessly with other project disciplines (civil layout, mounting structures, grid‑tie or EB‑line interfacing, etc.).
• Liaise with vendors, suppliers, contractors for electrical equipment — clarify technical requirements, review vendor data‑sheets/submittals to ensure compliance with design specs; support vendor evaluation for electrical packages.
• Work with procurement and SCM to support procurement based on design — ensure material specs and requirements are clearly defined and communicated.
• Maintain version‑controlled design documents: SLDs, layout drawings, cable/earthing/grounding diagrams, datasheets, BOQs/BOMs, technical specifications, vendor submittals, change/revision records and as‑built drawings.
• Ensure all designed outputs comply with electrical standards, grid‑code/regulatory requirements (as applicable), and project specifications for solar EPC / grid‑connected solar plants.
• Provide design inputs for tendering and proposals — scope definition, technical requirements, estimated quantities, and design feasibility as per site conditions.
• Assist in pre‑bid or tender‑phase activities — support evaluation of technical feasibility, grid‑connection compliance, equipment specification, site constraints, and overall electrical scope estimation.
• Help prepare RFQs / RFPs, technical bid documents for electrical scope; support evaluation of vendor/contractor proposals for technical compliance.
• Provide design clarifications and support to site‑execution team during installation — address queries related to drawings, cable layouts, earthing/grounding, protection layout, panel/inverter placement, switchgear, etc.
• Assist procurement/inspection for equipment/material validation ensuring delivered items match design specifications before installation.
• Support commissioning activities by providing required design documentation and assistance for acceptance tests, grid‑tie connections, and electrical compliance audits (as required).
• Work closely with senior electrical/design lead, project head, execution, procurement, civil/structural and other cross‑functional teams to deliver design outputs in a timely and integrated manner.
• Maintain clear communication, raise design‑related risks or deviations early, propose corrective actions or alternative designs to meet constraints or site conditions.
• Mentor or guide junior design engineers or draftsmen (if part of team) — support quality, standardization, and adherence to design protocols.

Qualifications & Skills

Education: B.E. / B.Tech in Electrical / Electrical & Electronics / Power Systems (or equivalent).

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of solar PV electrical systems — DC/AC design, LV/HV panels, earthing/grounding, cable sizing, protection coordination, grid‑tie/EB‑line compliance (if applicable), switchgear, inverters/transformers, electrical safety standards.

Design Tools / Software: Proficiency in CAD tools (AutoCAD or equivalent) for electrical drawings; familiarity with solar‑design software or electrical analysis tools is a plus.

Soft Skills: Good communication (verbal & written), ability to coordinate across teams (procurement, civil, site execution), manage multiple deliverables, documentation discipline, attention to detail, problem‑solving mindset, time‑management.
