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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
  
  

• 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.
