Roles & Responsibilities :

The Electrical Lead is responsible for leading the electrical design, engineering, and grid?interface activities for utility?scale and C&I battery energy storage projects. The role ensures that all BESS solutions comply with applicable grid codes, safety standards, and customer requirements, from concept through commissioning and handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end?to?end electrical design of BESS plants, including single?line diagrams, cable sizing, grounding/earthing, protection schemes, and equipment specifications (transformers, switchgear, RMUs, UPS, etc.).

• Define and validate grid?connection requirements with utilities (voltage levels, fault levels, protection interfaces, metering, power quality, and grid?code compliance such as frequency/voltage support, reactive power, and ramp?rate limits).

• Review and approve integration of PCS/inverters, BMS, EMS, and SCADA from an electrical and protection perspective.

• Perform or supervise load?flow, short?circuit, and protection coordination studies, and support harmonic and power?quality studies with specialist consultants where required.

• Ensure designs comply with relevant international and local standards (e.g., IEC/IEEE for switchgear, transformers, protection, and storage systems; applicable grid codes; electrical safety regulations).

• Own and maintain internal electrical design standards, templates, and checklists for BESS and grid?connected systems.

• Define protection philosophies and interlocking schemes for safe energization, isolation, and maintenance of BESS and grid?connected equipment.

• Drive design reviews (HIRA/HAZID/HAZOP where relevant) focusing on electrical safety, arc?flash risk, and functional safety for critical controls.

Technical Leadership & Coordination

• Act as electrical technical authority for BESS projects, providing guidance to internal teams and external partners (EPCs, OEMs, consultants).

• Plan and coordinate electrical engineering deliverables, ensuring scope, quality, schedule, and cost targets are met.

• Review vendor/OEM documentation for transformers, switchgear, protection relays, converters, cabling systems, and auxiliary power systems; provide technical clarifications and approvals.

• Support construction, FAT/SAT, and commissioning teams with procedures, test plans, and resolving site technical issues (protection settings, trips, synchronization, etc.).

• Lead technical discussions with customers, utilities, and regulatory bodies on grid?connection studies, interconnection requirements, protection schemes, and compliance evidence.

• Translate customer requirements, tender specifications, and utility interconnection agreements into clear electrical design inputs and deliverables.

• Provide technical support to sales and bid teams, including concept designs, BOQs, loss calculations, and clarifications during tender stages.

Documentation & Quality

• Oversee preparation and approval of electrical deliverables: SLDs, GAs, schematics, cable schedules, layouts, earthing layouts, protection philosophies, and test/commissioning procedures.

• Implement and enforce engineering quality processes, design reviews, and documentation control for all electrical work products.

• Capture lessons learned from projects and feed them back into standard designs and processes for continuous improvement.
