Job description

Key Responsibilities

1. Electrical Design & AutoCAD Drafting

• Design and develop detailed 2D electrical schematics & 3D wiring layout for power and control circuits using AutoCAD & Solid Edge.
• Proposals & Estimation: Prepare preliminary electrical drawings, single-line diagrams (SLDs), and accurate cost estimations/BOQs for project proposals and client bids.
• Draft accurate Bill of Materials (BOM), cable schedules, and panel layout drawings.
• Integrate both VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and conventional non-VFD (contactor-based) logic into crane control systems.

2. Panel Assembly & Physical Wiring Knowledge

• Lead the physical wiring and assembly of control panels for hoists and EOT cranes.
• Ensure all wiring complies with industry standards, safety protocols, and neatness guidelines (proper ferrule marking, lugging, and routing).
• Conduct component testing (contactors, relays, VFDs, timers, and protection devices) before final panel dispatch.

3. Site Testing & Troubleshooting

• Travel to client sites as required to oversee installation, testing, and commissioning of control panels.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve electrical faults, wiring errors, or drive parameters on active hoists and cranes.
• Provide technical support and training to site operators when necessary.

Role Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: Diploma or B.E. / B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Proven experience in designing and wiring control panels specifically for material handling equipment (EOT Cranes, Hoists, Gantries).
  • Deep understanding of VFD programming, parameter tuning, and troubleshooting (e.g., Schneider, Danfoss, Siemens, or Yaskawa).
  • Strong grip on traditional relay logic and non-VFD starter panels.
• Software Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D) for creating electrical power and control circuit diagrams.
• Hands-on Skills: Excellent practical knowledge of electrical tools, crimping, multi-meter usage, and fault-finding.
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving mindset, readiness to travel for field troubleshooting, and clear communication skills.
