AI DATA CENTRE - GIS / POWER LEAD - PORTFOLIO

AI DATA CENTRE PROGRAMME - GIS / POWER LEAD - PORTFOLIO Reports to: Portfolio Director / Head of Data Centre Delivery Location: Mumbai + Bhubaneshwar Experience: 10-15+ years in transmission/distribution or large industrial power; 5-10+ leading EHV/HV delivery Role Purpose Own the power strategy from demand forecast and grid capacity through EHV/HV GIS, transmission connectivity, facility integration, energisation and long-term power sourcing. Required Outcomes Power forecast aligned to AI load growth. Grid capacity, connection agreements, right-of-way and energisation programme secured. Safe, tested and operable EHV/HV GIS integrated with the facility. Reliable, commercially optimised and progressively lower-carbon supply. Grid strategy and approvals Develop demand, transient-load and phased energisation forecasts. Lead utility applications, system studies, connection, metering, protection, commercial agreements and approvals. Define dual-source and backup philosophy. GIS and transmission delivery Lead design, procurement, construction and commissioning of 132/220 kV-class GIS/AIS, transformers, protection/control, SCADA, metering and cables/lines. Own specifications, OEM evaluation, FAT/SAT, settings, spares, warranties and O&M. Manage route selection, easements/right-of-way and third-party interfaces. Electrical assurance and commercial power Review load-flow, short-circuit, stability, protection, earthing, step/touch, harmonics, arc-flash and power-quality studies. Integrate utility/GIS with MV, generators, UPS, BESS, EPMS and restoration strategy. Evaluate regulated supply, open access, captive/group-captive, PPAs, RECs and storage with control functions. Mandatory Qualifications and Experience B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering; M.E./M.Tech Power Systems preferred. Led at least one 132 kV+ GIS/substation through energisation. Utility connectivity, transmission approvals and right-of-way experience. Mission-critical or similarly high-availability load experience preferred. Preferred Certifications Chartered/Professional Engineer desirable. PMP/PRINCE2 preferred. ETAP/DIgSILENT/PSSE or equivalent training preferred. Skills and Leadership Competencies EHV/HV equipment, protection, control, SCADA, earthing and power quality. Utility, regulator, OEM, EPC and right-of-way management. Tariff, open-access, PPA and lifecycle-cost understanding. Approval-heavy critical-path planning. Candidate Evidence Required A project credential schedule stating scale, exact personal role, stages led, completion status and reference availability. Two senior client, owner, utility, regulator or project-leadership references relevant to the role. Evidence must distinguish direct accountability from general team participation.
