administrative project management. The person must be capable of guiding network modelling, defining simulation

cases, reviewing study results, correcting technical work, resolving client queries and taking complete ownership of

project milestones and deliverables.

The role will initially remain technically hands-on and will progressively carry full responsibility for the Power

System Studies team and the broader Design Consulting function, based on demonstrated capability.

2. Technical coverage

• Conduct inhouse and external trainings, deliver technical lectures in professional forums like IEEE, CIGRE, API, NFPA, CBIP,CEA, etc

• Should understand modern solid state control systems involving grid islanding, grid reliability, RE integration,

BESS.

3. Key responsibilities

Hands-on technical leadership

• Understand the client's electrical network, study objectives, system-operating philosophy and required

deliverables before work allocation.

• Define the modelling approach, network boundaries, study scenarios, assumptions, contingencies and analysis methodology for each project

• Creating module libraries to enhance engineering efficiency.

• Provide clear technical directions on simulations to be performed, cases to be evaluated, results to be

compared and engineering conclusions to be developed.

• Review models, input data, equipment ratings, calculation bases, simulation settings, relay curves, study

outputs and recommendations prepared by the team.

• Diagnose modelling or convergence issues, identify technically unrealistic results and guide the team in

correcting the model or analysis.

• Personally handle or closely supervise complex technical areas and provide timely guidance when engineers are blocked.

• Ensure reports translate simulation output into clear, practical and defensible engineering recommendation

Project allocation and delivery control

• Assess each project's technical complexity, required competencies, estimated effort and delivery schedule before allocating work.

• Allocate projects and tasks to available engineers based on capability, workload and development needs, with clear responsibilities and review dates.

• Prepare and maintain project plans covering input-data closure, model completion, internal review, draft

report, client comments, final submission and closure.

• Monitor progress across concurrent projects, identify deviations early and take corrective action to protect committed milestones.

• Ensure proper version control and retention of models, calculation files, relay data, plots, review records,

reports and client approvals.

Team development and departmental ownership

• Coach engineers through real projects and develop their capability in modelling, simulation, interpretation and

technical reporting.

• Conduct structured technical reviews rather than merely checking document formatting or project status.

• Maintain a competency and backup matrix for study types and software platforms and prepare a training plan

for identified gaps.

• Develop standard model templates, input-data checklists, study procedures, review checklists and report

formats.

• Evaluate performance based on technical quality, delivery ownership, utilisation, responsiveness and

improvement.

• Build the team into an internally capable and scalable department with controlled use of external specialists.

Third-party specialist coordination

• Define and technically supervise outsourced work where specialist capacity is required.

• Review outsourced models, simulations, assumptions, calculations and reports before accepting or releasing them.

• Ensure all editable source files, settings, calculations and technical knowledge are transferred to Manav.

infrastructure, renewable-energy or EPC power-system study projects.

• Demonstrable experience independently building and validating network models and independently delivering

complete project.

• Strong hands-on proficiency in ETAP and/or DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Experience with PSCAD or other

electromagnetic-transient tools is an advantage.

• Sound understanding of electrical networks, equipment parameters, operating scenarios, protection

philosophies, relay characteristics, fault levels and applicable IEC/IEEE standards.
