Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced System Metering Expert to lead the planning, deployment, commissioning, and operational monitoring of Feeder and Distribution Transformer (DT) metering infrastructure under the AMISP project in Goa. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in distribution network metering, energy accounting, AMI system integration, and field metering operations.

This role is critical to ensuring accurate system-level energy measurement, seamless integration of feeder and DT meters with HES and MDMS platforms, and effective feeder-wise and DT-wise energy auditing across the distribution network. The position will support operational and field teams in maintaining communication performance, data availability, system reliability, and compliance with regulatory and utility standards within the smart metering ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

System Metering Deployment & Commissioning

• Plan and oversee installation, commissioning, and integration of feeder and DT meters across the distribution network.
• Validate system metering locations in coordination with utility feeder hierarchy and network topology.
• Ensure proper CT/PT connections, meter wiring, polarity checks, and sealing procedures during installation.
• Coordinate shutdowns and site readiness with utility officials to ensure smooth installation activities.

AMI Integration & Data Availability

• Ensure seamless integration of feeder and DT meters with HES and MDMS platforms.
• Monitor meter data flow, communication success rates, and system data availability.
• Identify and resolve data gaps, communication failures, and synchronisation issues between system meters and AMI platforms.
• Work closely with IT and AMI platform teams to maintain reliable system metering data streams.

Energy Accounting & Loss Analysis

• Support implementation of feeder-wise and DT-wise energy accounting across the distribution network.
• Analyse metering data to identify technical losses, energy imbalance, and potential AT&C loss areas.
• Prepare periodic energy audit reports and performance analysis dashboards.
• Assist the utility in improving network visibility and loss reduction strategies.

System Monitoring & Meter Health Management

• Monitor communication status, meter health, and data reliability of feeder and DT meters.
• Track and resolve non-communicating or faulty system meters.
• Conduct root cause analysis for system metering issues and coordinate corrective actions with field teams and OEMs.

Field Operations Support

• Provide technical guidance to field engineers, technicians, and vendor teams involved in system metering deployment and maintenance.
• Support preventive and corrective maintenance activities for feeder and DT meters.
• Ensure timely resolution of system metering faults affecting energy accounting or communication.

Utility & Regulatory Coordination

• Coordinate with Goa Electricity Department (GED) officials for site access, shutdown approvals, and technical validations.
• Participate in technical review meetings and project progress discussions with the utility.
• Ensure compliance with CEA Metering Regulations and utility technical standards.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management

• Coordinate with meter OEMs, communication service providers, and AMI platform vendors.
• Support monitoring of vendor performance related to system metering installation and maintenance.
• Validate execution reports and technical data before submission for internal review.

Documentation, Reporting & Compliance

• Maintain accurate records of feeder and DT meter installations, asset registers, and commissioning reports.
• Track system metering database including meter status, communication health, and maintenance history.
• Prepare periodic technical reports, system performance summaries, and progress updates for management and utility review.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering, Power Systems, or related field.

Experience

• 5–12 years of experience in the power distribution or energy utility sector.
• Minimum 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in AMI / Smart Metering projects.
• Experience in feeder metering, DT metering, energy accounting, and distribution network monitoring.

Key Skills

• Strong understanding of distribution system metering and feeder hierarchy.
• Knowledge of AMI architecture and HES–MDMS integration.
• Familiarity with meter communication protocols such as DLMS/COSEM.
• Experience with smart meter communication technologies (RF, Cellular, PLC, NB-IoT).
• Knowledge of CEA Metering Regulations and utility technical standards.
• Strong coordination skills for utility officials, field teams, and technology vendors.
• Analytical mindset with experience in data analysis, dashboards, and reporting tools.
