Job description

Key Responsibilities

1. Panel Layout & Schematic Design
Design Single Line Diagrams (SLD), electrical schematics, and wiring
diagrams.
Create General Arrangement (GA) drawings and 2D/3D layouts for
industrial control panels.
Optimize structural layouts for internal wiring, cable routing, busbar sizing,
and cooling systems.
Draft detailed component fitment plans for PLC units, MCBs, contactors, and
switches.
2. Fabrication Support & Enclosure Design
Develop sheet metal cutout patterns and technical specifications for
fabrication teams.
Coordinate design variables directly with the on-site welding and assembly
supervisors.
Establish precise Bills of Materials (BOM) for internal engineering
components, connectors, and cable lugs.
3. Standard Compliance & Testing
Ensure all designs meet statutory safety and manufacturing quality standards.
Deliver comprehensive site-support engineering briefs and resolve technical
issues during fabrication assembly.

Technical Skills & Competencies

Software Tools: Advanced drafting skills in AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks
(Sheet Metal), or EPlan.
Core Engineering: Deep understanding of industrial power systems,
switchgears, and power distribution systems.
Drafting Layouts: Strong grasp of component placement, clearance
requirements, and geometric routing logic.

Type of candidate/profile you are looking for :

We are looking for a techno-commercial, execution-focused candidate who
understands both electrical logic and the realities of factory-floor sheet metal
fabrication.
The ideal profile balances precise drafting skills with the practical ability to walk onto
the shop floor and troubleshoot a physical assembly issue.

1. Key Technical Traits (The Core Fit)

The Panel Specialist: Someone who does not just draw lines in AutoCAD,
but understands how current flows, how heat dissipates inside an enclosure,
and how to size a busbar safely.
Fabrication-Minded: A candidate who understands sheet metal limits,
bending allowances, and how component placement affects practical wiring
and maintenance.
Component Savvy: Well-versed with major switchgear and automation
brands (like Siemens, Schneider, ABB, or L&T) and can select the right
ratings for breakers, contactors, and relays.

2. Behavioral & Work Style Profile

Shop-Floor Collaborator: Since the role is at the Waghodia GIDC plant, they
must be comfortable working closely with assembly technicians, operators,
and testing supervisors.
Under-Pressure Problem Solver: Panel manufacturing often involves tight
delivery deadlines; the candidate needs to be quick at rectifying drawing
errors to avoid production halts.
Detail-Obsessed: A single misplaced dimensions or incorrect BOM entry can
ruin an entire sheet metal lot. We need a candidate with high accuracy.

3. Preferred Academic & Experience Background

Target Experience: 3 to 5 years. (Keen learners who have completed a solid
entry-level stint in a panel manufacturing company).
Ideal Companies to Source From: Candidates working with local Vadodara-
based transformer, switchgear, control panel, or automation automation
MSMEs.
Education: B.E./B.Tech or Diploma in Electrical Engineering / Power
Electronics.
