About the role
Key Responsibilities1. Quality Planning & DocumentationReview and understand project specifications, electrical drawings, standards (IEC, IS, IEEE, NEC), and quality plans.Prepare and implement the Project Quality Plan (PQP) for electrical works.Develop inspection and test plans (ITP) for electrical installations, including PV modules, inverters, transformers, switchgear, SCADA systems, cabling, and earthing.Maintain and control quality documentation in line with ISO 9001.2. Inspection & TestingConduct incoming material inspections (PV modules, cables, MCCBs, switchgear, etc.).Carry out in-process inspections for electrical installations — cable laying, terminations, earthing, and panel installation.Perform pre-commissioning and commissioning tests (e.g., insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, voltage drop, transformer oil test).Witness third-party and OEM testing as required.Ensure test equipment calibration records are maintained.3. Compliance & StandardsEnsure compliance with IEC, IS, and project-specific codes for solar PV projects.Verify electrical works meet statutory and safety requirements (CEIG, DISCOM, MNRE guidelines).Audit subcontractor and vendor quality systems.4. Coordination & ReportingCoordinate with EPC teams, subcontractors, and consultants to resolve quality issues.Issue NCRs (Non-Conformance Reports) and monitor corrective & preventive actions (CAPA).Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly quality reports.Participate in project review and quality meetings.5. Continuous ImprovementIdentify recurring quality issues and suggest preventive measures.Train site teams on quality standards and inspection procedures.Key Skills & CompetenciesStrong understanding of electrical systems in solar PV plants.Knowledge of electrical testing instruments and methods.Familiarity with quality management systems (ISO 9001).Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics.Proficiency in MS Office and basic project management tools.Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.Qualifications & ExperienceEducation: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).Experience: 3–7 years in QA/QC for electrical works in solar EPC or renewable energy projects.Certifications (Preferred):ISO 9001 Internal AuditorElectrical Safety CertificationPV System Design/Installation CertificationPerformance IndicatorsPercentage of inspections passed without rework.Number of NCRs closed within target timeframe.Compliance rate with quality documentation.Reduction in repetitive defects over time.
