• Site data collection
  
• Design verification
  
• Field support for implementation
  
• Basic software training for junior engineers and site teams
  
• Provide technical guidance to site teams regarding design interpretation, drawing usage, and revision updates.
  
• Assist in preparing BOQs, as-built drawings, and project documentation.
  
• Coordinate with electrical, civil, and project management teams to ensure smooth design execution.
  
• Ensure compliance with national and international design standards (IEEE, IEC, IS, etc.).
  

Key Skills Required:

Mandatory (Must have at least one of the following):

• Strong command of 3D Modelling for substations/switchyards
