Testing & Commissioning Management

• Plan, coordinate, and execute testing and commissioning activities for DC & AC systems, inverters, transformers, switchgear, protection relays, and SCADA systems.

• Prepare and implement T&C procedures, checklists, and commissioning schedules aligned with project milestones.

Pre-Commissioning Activities

• Oversee pre-commissioning checks including IR tests, continuity tests, polarity checks, functional checks, and interlock verifications.

• Ensure readiness of systems before energization by verifying installation quality and punch-point clearance.

Electrical Testing & Energization

• Lead energization activities in coordination with utilities, clients, and OEM teams.

• Supervise testing of HT/LT panels, transformers, protection relays, breakers, and earthing systems.

• Ensure compliance with grid codes, statutory regulations, and safety standards.

OEM, Client & Utility Coordination

• Coordinate with inverter OEMs, transformer suppliers, protection relay vendors, and SCADA teams during testing and commissioning.

• Act as the single point of contact for client representatives and utility authorities during commissioning phases.

Safety & Compliance

• Ensure strict adherence to electrical safety procedures, LOTO, PTW systems, and site safety norms during commissioning activities.

• Lead commissioning risk assessments and emergency preparedness.

Troubleshooting & Issue Resolution

• Identify and resolve commissioning issues related to protection, communication, synchronization, and performance.

• Support root cause analysis for failures and ensure corrective actions are implemented.

Documentation & Handover

• Review and approve test reports, commissioning certificates, and energization approvals.

• Ensure compilation and submission of commissioning dossiers, as-built drawings, and O&M manuals.

• Support final handover to O&M teams.

Reporting & Coordination

• Track commissioning progress and report status to project management.

• Coordinate with construction, QA/QC, and EHS teams to ensure readiness for commissioning.

Qualifications & Experience
