Job Purpose

We are looking for an experienced Substation Design Engineer for our Renewable Energy Projects (ISTS/Captive) with 6-10 years of experience. The candidate will be responsible for the design and engineering of EHV Substations up to 400kV for solar and wind projects. The role requires a strong background in substation electrical design, detailed engineering, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure timely and compliant project execution.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Design & Site Assessment:

 Lead the front-end, preliminary, and detailed design of EHV substations for renewable energy projects (Solar PV/Wind).
 Prepare and review Single Line Diagrams (SLD), layout plans, AC & DC SLDs, and detailed engineering documents for substations.
 Conduct electrical calculations for earthing systems, lightning protection, illumination design, and other critical substation components.
 Prepare RFPs for EHV substations (ISTS/Captive Renewable EPC Packages).
 Conduct in-depth GIS/AIS substation design up to 400kV, including equipment sizing, layout design, and auxiliary system design.
 Perform engineering calculations for battery sizing, CT & VT sizing, MV & LT cables, auxiliary transformer sizing, etc.
 Review and finalize technical documentation such as Bill of Materials (BOM) and technical data sheets.
 Collaborate with vendors to resolve technical queries and review equipment specifications.

2. Regulatory Compliance:

 Ensure all substation engineering designs comply with local, state, and CTU regulations and relevant codes.

 Work closely with regulatory authorities to secure necessary permits and approvals for substation construction by preparing and submitting relevant drawings.

3. Cross-Functional Collaboration:

 Collaborate closely with electrical, civil, structural, and other engineering disciplines to integrate substation designs seamlessly into overall project plans.
 Work with project management to coordinate interdisciplinary efforts and address challenges that arise during project execution.
 Develop and implement electrical Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the project and construction teams to follow.

4. Quality Assurance:

 Oversee quality assurance processes for EHV substation engineering deliverables, ensuring designs meet industry standards and safety regulations.
 Conduct regular design reviews and audits to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure compliance with standards.

5. Project Oversight:

 Assist in project planning, scheduling, and budgeting for EHV substation engineering activities.
 Monitor project progress, identify potential risks, and implement strategies to mitigate issues during the design and execution phases.

Challenges & Job Context:
 Improve the cycle time of substation engineering and design deliverables.
 Contribute to cost and resource optimization while maintaining quality.
 Stay updated on evolving technology and design practices to enhance substation performance.
 Ensure efficient coordination between design, procurement, and construction teams for timely project execution.

Qualifications & Experience:
 Education: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
 Experience: 6-10 years in substation design for renewable energy projects, preferably in solar/wind energy.
 Technical Skills:
 Proficient in GIS/AIS substation design up to 400kV.
 Experience in electrical calculations for substation components (battery sizing, conductor sizing, surge impedance, etc.).
 Familiarity with CBIP/IS/IEC/CEA standards and regulations.
 Expertise in design software and engineering tools.

Skills Required:
 Strong knowledge in Substation Design for renewable energy projects.
 Experience with GIS and AIS Substations up to 400kV.
 Proficiency in detailed engineering (SLD, layout, earthing, etc.). 
 Ability to manage and execute RFP preparation, vendor coordination, and regulatory compliance.
 Strong interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration with multiple stakeholders.
 Leadership qualities to implement and ensure quality assurance and continuous improvement.
 Familiarity with project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and risk mitigation in EPC projects.

If you have the expertise in Substation Design and are passionate about renewable energy, we encourage you to apply and join, a leading player in India transition to sustainable energy.
