  • Collaborate with OEMs, vendors, and utility stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of AMI hardware and software.
  • Develop technical documentation including design specs, test plans, BoMs, and system integration guides.
  • Support installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing of smart meters and network components (repeaters, data concentrators, etc.).
  • Conduct site surveys, RF planning, and coverage validation for smart metering network deployment.
  • Monitor project timelines, deliverables, and risks, and coordinate field teams and subcontractors to meet rollout targets.
  • Ensure compliance with utility standards, data security policies (e.g., DLMS/COSEM, IEC 62056), and regulatory requirements.
  • Provide technical support for issue resolution, troubleshooting, and optimization of deployed systems.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Telecommunications, or Instrumentation Engineering.
  • 5–8 years of experience in utility projects, preferably in AMI, smart metering, or IoT-based utility systems.
  • Knowledge of smart metering technologies, communication protocols (RF Mesh, GPRS, NB-IoT, PLC), and network planning tools.
  • Familiarity with AMI system components (HES, MDMS, meter firmware, DLMS/COSEM).
  • Experience in project coordination, vendor management, and field deployment oversight.
  • Strong analytical and documentation skills; proficiency in MS Office, AutoCAD, and project tracking tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with large-scale AMI rollout programs for electric, gas, or water utilities.
  • Understanding of cybersecurity in AMI systems and smart grid environments.
  • Exposure to utility IT/OT integration projects.
  • Hands-on experience with meter testing, QA processes, or working with national metrology institutes.



Requirements
Key Responsibilities: Develop detailed project plans, including defining the scope, objectives, timeline, budget, and resource allocation for the AMISP project. Establish project goals, milestones, and deliverables, ensuring they align with both business and client objectives. Monitor and track project progress, ensuring that activities stay on schedule, within budget, and meet quality standards. Identify potential project risks and issues and develop strategies to mitigate their impact on the project’s timeline and deliverables. Regularly communicate with stakeholders to provide status updates, report on risks or issues, and suggest corrective actions when necessary. Coordinate resources, including personnel, equipment, and materials, ensuring optimal use of assets to achieve project success. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, vendors, and key stakeholders to promote collaboration and ensure alignment with project goals. Develop and manage the project budget, ensuring that expenses are monitored and controlled within the approved limits. Track and control any changes to the project scope, ensuring they are documented, reviewed, and approved through formal change control processes. Ensure that all project deliverables meet quality standards, client expectations, and regulatory requirements. Proactively address conflicts or challenges within the project team or with external stakeholders to keep the project on track. Manage project documentation, ensuring that records of project decisions, changes, and milestones are organized and accessible.
