Job Description

Job Summary:

The Systems Engineer – Substation Electrical Design will be responsible for the engineering and standardization of LV/MV/HV electrical systems and HV/EHV substations for utility-scale renewable energy projects across India.

The role includes design and review of substations, switchyards, power evacuation systems, protection coordination, and grid interconnection infrastructure. The candidate will support engineering activities from concept to execution stages while coordinating with multi-disciplinary teams and external stakeholders.

This role is primarily focused on substation and power evacuation engineering. As Enerparc expands its wind and hybrid portfolio, selected candidates will also have the opportunity to be trained and upskilled in wind electrical engineering and wind project integration.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Design & Standardization
Carry out HV/EHV substation designs (AIS type) including layout, SLDs, and electrical sections from 66 kV to 400 kV.
Develop standardized designs and templates for LV/MV/HV systems (LT panels, transformers, ICR/MCR, switchyards, and grid substations).
Prepare/guide design of SLDs, GA drawings, EKD, DSLP, earthing, cable routing, and illumination layouts.
Perform equipment sizing and calculations (short-circuit, earthing, lightning protection, CT/PT sizing, conductor and battery sizing).
Interface with protection, control, and SCADA systems for grid compliance and design coordination.
Prepare and review technical RFPs, BOQs, and technical bid evaluations ensuring cost and design optimization.
Coordinate with civil and mechanical design teams for multi-disciplinary interfaces.
Vendor Evaluation & Technical Coordination
Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors (transformers, switchgear, cables, protection panels).
Review vendor datasheets, test certificates, and design compliance with IEC/IS/IEEE standards.
Support factory acceptance tests (FAT) and pre-dispatch inspections for major electrical components.
Collaborate with procurement and construction teams for material finalization and implementation readiness.
Project & Cross-functional Support
Provide pre-bid technical support including concept layouts, grid connection philosophy, and loss studies.
Work closely with D&E, Hybrid, and Quality teams to ensure design uniformity and optimization.
Maintain and continuously improve standard design libraries and documentation for future projects.

Requirements

Skills and Qualifications:

Education: B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical Engineering or Power Systems.
Experience: Minimum 5–8 years of experience in electrical design within IPP, EPC, or OEM organizations, with mandatory hands-on experience in wind project electrical systems.
Technical Competencies:

Strong understanding of substation (66–400 kV) design, EBoP, and power evacuation systems.
Proficient in AutoCAD and familiar with ETAP, CYME, and CDEGS for electrical analysis.
Working knowledge of protection and control systems, grid integration, and hybrid system design.
Familiarity with relevant standards – IEC, IEEE, IS, CEA, and state grid codes.
Exposure to wind turbine electrical systems, MV collector circuits, and hybrid switchyards is essential.

Soft Skills: Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and coordination skills.
Adaptability: Capable of working independently and managing multiple deliverables in a fast-paced renewable environment.

Benefits

What to Expect:

Exposure to multi-technology hybrid projects combining solar, wind, and storage systems.
Travel for vendor visits, inspections, and project site reviews as required.
Significant scope for career growth and technical specialization in hybrid renewable systems.
