Graduate Engineer, Distribution & Microgrids

Distribution & Microgrids Pune + project travel · Hybrid 0–2 years · Entry

Start your career designing the part of the grid people actually touch: 11 kV and 33 kV networks, rooftop and C&I solar, campus microgrids and EV charging hubs. You will learn from senior engineers on live projects and own real calculations and drawings from your first quarter.

Scope of work

  • Prepare single-line diagrams, cable routing and equipment layouts for 11 kV and 33 kV distribution works.
  • Carry out load surveys and demand assessments at industrial, commercial and campus sites.
  • Size distribution transformers, RMUs, LT panels, cables and protection for new connections.
  • Design rooftop and ground-mounted C&I solar systems and their net-metering or gross-metering connections.
  • Support microgrid designs that combine solar, battery storage and diesel or grid backup with automatic changeover.
  • Prepare layouts and power supply designs for EV charging hubs.
  • Prepare bills of quantity and support cost estimates for proposals.
  • Visit sites to verify surveys, take measurements and resolve drawing queries with contractors.
  • Maintain drawing registers and revision control in the Project Manager app.

Technical description

  • Distribution network design under the CEA Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply Regulations 2023 and the state supply codes.
  • Transformer and switchgear specifications to IS 1180 (energy-efficient distribution transformers), IS 2026 and IEC 62271-200.
  • LT installation design to IS 732 and earthing to IS 3043.
  • Distributed generation connectivity to the CEA connectivity standards for distributed generation and the state net-metering regulations.
  • Microgrid control concepts with reference to IEEE 1547 and IEEE 2030.7 and 2030.8.
  • EV charger connections to the IS 17017 series and the Ministry of Power charging infrastructure guidelines.
  • AutoCAD for drawings and ETAP or an equivalent tool for voltage drop and short-circuit checks.

Commercial description

  • Produce accurate bills of quantity so proposals are priced correctly the first time.
  • Understand how tariffs, demand charges and open access charges shape a customer's business case.
  • Meet the drawing and calculation deadlines in the project schedule.
  • Track your own hours and deliverables against the project budget.

Skills required

  • Sound fundamentals in power systems and electrical machines.
  • Basic cable, transformer and protection sizing.
  • AutoCAD drafting.
  • Excel for calculations and quantity take-offs.
  • Reading electrical drawings and equipment datasheets.
  • Clear technical writing.
  • Safe working practice at site.
  • Willingness to learn ETAP and PVsyst on the job.

Talent we look for

  • You ask why until you understand it.
  • You enjoy being on site as much as at a desk.
  • You take ownership of small tasks and finish them properly.
  • You accept correction and improve quickly.

Qualifications

  • B.E./B.Tech in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering, graduating or graduated within the last two years.
  • A final-year project or internship in power systems, renewables or distribution is an advantage.
  • A valid two-wheeler or four-wheeler licence is helpful for site visits.
