Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Engineer 2 - Plant Commissioning Engineering based in India.

Join a specialized engineering team working on advanced FACTS technologies, including STATCOM and related power-system solutions. You will contribute to high-profile international projects designed to improve grid stability, voltage control, transmission efficiency, and reliable electricity distribution. The role combines detailed control and protection hardware engineering with hands-on pre-commissioning and site support. You will develop critical engineering documentation, interfaces, schematics, panel designs, and protection systems for complex grid infrastructure. You will collaborate with global engineering teams, clients, consultants, and project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. The position offers exposure to cutting-edge power technologies and the opportunity to work on varied international projects with significant engineering responsibility. Based in Noida with hybrid working flexibility, you will play an important role in delivering reliable and high-quality solutions for modern power networks.

Accountabilities

• Control and Protection Hardware Engineering: Develop detailed hardware specifications and bills of materials for substation and STATCOM projects, including control and protection panels, automation panels, relay lists, bay control units, marshalling kiosks, and associated engineering documentation.
• Engineering Drawings and Documentation: Prepare and review protection single-line diagrams, control schematics, interconnection diagrams, general arrangement drawings, cable schedules, terminal plans, panel layouts, rack layouts, and other project documentation using tools such as EPLAN, E3, or EBASE.
• Auxiliary and Interface Engineering: Design AC/DC auxiliary supply distribution schemes and develop I/O allocation and interface engineering for protection relays, RTUs, BCUs, SCADA systems, STATCOM controllers, Ethernet switches, and other control equipment.
• STATCOM Engineering: Develop hardware engineering for STATCOM control and protection systems, valve cooling interfaces, transformer protection, line-bay protection, MSC/MSR bay protection, and harmonic filter protection systems.
• Control and Communication Systems: Coordinate interfaces between unit and station controllers, PPC, HMI, and grid automation systems, while preparing communication architecture drawings and interface documentation.
• Protection Systems: Apply knowledge of protection schemes for transmission lines, power transformers, busbars, reactors, capacitor banks, harmonic filters, and STATCOM branches.
• Commissioning Support: Support pre-commissioning activities for control and protection systems at site, review and apply design-stage documents and settings, assess site modifications, perform engineering updates, and conduct primary and secondary injection testing of protection relays.
• Testing and Energization: Participate in FAT and SAT activities when required and provide technical support during energization and performance testing to help ensure safe, reliable, and successful project delivery.
• Standards and Quality: Apply relevant standards and requirements, including IEC 61850, IEC 60255, IEC 62271, IEC 61000, utility technical specifications, and grid-code requirements, while maintaining documentation in accordance with project quality plans.
• Project Collaboration: Work effectively with global teams, clients, consultants, and other stakeholders to understand requirements, resolve technical challenges, manage priorities, and deliver engineering activities on schedule.

Requirements

• Education and Experience: Hold a BTech or MTech degree in Electrical Engineering, preferably with a specialization in Power Systems, and bring 6-8 years of relevant experience in Substation, FACTS, or HVDC projects.
