ACDC Field: Engineer - Elec

Site Execution & Supervision

• Supervise and execute DC side works including module stringing, DC cable laying, DCDB installation, polarity checks, and string continuity.

• Supervise AC side works including inverter output cabling, ACDB installation, LT panel works, and interconnections up to transformer.

• Ensure all electrical works are executed as per approved drawings, SLDs, GA layouts, and technical specifications.

DC System Responsibilities

• Oversee installation of DCDBs, string combiners, isolators, fuses, and SPD systems.

• Ensure correct polarity, cable routing, dressing, and tagging of DC cables.

• Conduct and record DC tests such as string voltage, insulation resistance (IR), and continuity checks.

AC System Responsibilities

• Supervise installation of ACDB panels, LT panels, breakers (MCB/MCCB/ACB), protection relays, and meters.

• Monitor AC cable laying, glanding, termination, ferruling, and torque tightening.

• Support pre-commissioning and functional testing of AC systems.

Inverter & Interface Coordination

• Coordinate with inverter vendors/OEM teams for installation, testing, and commissioning support.

• Ensure proper DC-AC interface between modules, inverters, ACDBs, and transformers.

• Support inverter energization and troubleshooting activities.

Quality Control & Compliance

• Verify materials, panels, and cables comply with approved makes, ratings, IEC/IS standards, and project specifications.

• Ensure earthing continuity, SPD installation, labeling, and safety clearances are properly maintained.

• Identify non-conformances and ensure corrective actions before handover.

Safety & HSE Practices

• Enforce electrical safety procedures, including LOTO, PPE usage, and safe work practices.

• Participate in toolbox talks, safety inspections, and risk assessments.

• Ensure compliance with project HSE guidelines and statutory electrical safety norms.

Progress Monitoring & Reporting

• Monitor daily progress of AC-DC electrical activities and update the senior engineer / construction manager.

• Prepare Daily Progress Reports (DPRs) and assist in weekly/monthly reporting.

• Highlight site constraints, material issues, or execution risks affecting timelines.

Material & Inventory Management

• Monitor receipt, storage, and usage of DC cables, AC cables, DCDBs, ACDBs, panels, glands, lugs, and accessories.

• Ensure proper storage and protection of electrical materials to avoid damage or losses.

• Support material reconciliation and quantity tracking.

Documentation & Handover

• Maintain installation checklists, test reports, inspection records, and punch-list closure.

• Assist in preparation of as-built drawings and commissioning dossiers.

• Support handover of AC-DC systems to commissioning and O&M teams.

Qualifications & Experience

• Diploma / Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

• 5-8 years of hands-on field experience in AC-DC electrical works, preferably in utility-scale solar projects.

• Practical knowledge of solar plant electrical systems and inverter-based power plants.
