Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Electrical Commissioning Engineer with hands‑on experience in Solar PV systems, Hybrid Inverters, Lithium‑Ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and Battery Management Systems (BMS).

The candidate will be responsible for pre‑commissioning, commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and site‑level technical support for Solar PV, battery storage, and hybrid inverter systems. The role requires the ability to work independently at remote project sites and resolve electrical, communication, and commissioning‑related issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and interpret electrical drawings, wiring schematics, circuit diagrams, and technical specifications.
• Develop and execute commissioning plans, checklists, testing procedures, and inspection reports.
• Inspect Solar PV modules, lithium battery systems, hybrid inverters, control panels, and associated electrical equipment.
• Perform pre‑commissioning and commissioning activities for:
  • Solar PV systems
  • Lithium battery systems (>48V)
  • Hybrid inverters
  • Battery Management Systems (BMS)
  • Gearboxes
  • LED lighting systems
  • Limit switches
  • Electrical motors
• Configure inverters, battery systems, BMS, and communication settings in accordance with project requirements.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical, inverter, battery, communication, software, hardware, and protection‑system faults.
• Analyze event logs, alarms, fault records, and system data to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Resolve commissioning and operational issues at project sites.
• Coordinate with technical support teams for advanced troubleshooting and technical resolution.
• Prepare daily, weekly, and final commissioning reports.
• Maintain and monitor punch‑point lists and closure reports until project completion.
• Monitor site activities and ensure compliance with project quality, electrical, and safety standards.
• Coordinate with project/site teams to ensure commissioning activities are completed safely and within the required schedule.

Key Skills & Requirements

• Strong hands‑on experience in Solar PV system commissioning.
• Proven experience in Hybrid Inverter commissioning and configuration.
• Good knowledge of Lithium‑Ion and LFP battery technologies.
• Strong understanding of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
• Strong troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) skills.
• Ability to diagnose electrical, inverter, battery, communication, and protection‑system faults.
• Good understanding of electrical drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• Good communication and customer/stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work independently and effectively at remote project sites.
• Strong commitment to quality, safety, and site compliance.

Preferred Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate should be a hands‑on commissioning professional with practical experience in Solar PV + Hybrid Inverters + Lithium Battery/BESS + BMS, rather than a purely design or maintenance‑oriented electrical engineer.
