Construction Manager - PMC

Construction Manager - PMC ( Power Transmission, Substations & Renewable Integration)

The Construction Manager (PMC) will act as the site-level execution leader and client representative, responsible for end-to-end construction management of transmission lines, substations (AIS/GIS/Digital), and renewable energy integration (solar, wind, BESS).

The role requires multi-disciplinary coordination across Electrical, Civil, and IC systems, ensuring alignment with engineering intent, quality standards, safety requirements, and project timelines. The position interfaces closely with the Team Leader, Engineering Heads, QA/QC, HSE, and Project Controls functions to drive successful project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

1. Construction Site Management

• Lead and oversee day-to-day construction activities for substations (up to 765 kV), transmission lines, and renewable integration infrastructure.
• Ensure execution as per approved drawings, technical specifications, QAP/FQP, and method statements.
• Supervise EPC contractors and subcontractors, ensuring compliance with contract requirements and site readiness.
• Validate site conditions, constructability, and readiness, including proactive identification of constraints (ROW, logistics, interfaces).
• Ensure effective deployment of manpower, materials, and equipment at site.

2. Multi-Disciplinary Coordination (Electrical, Civil IC)

• Coordinate closely with Electrical, Civil Structural, and IC Heads to ensure seamless integration of:
• Substation systems (AIS/GIS, transformers, reactors, switchgear)
• Transmission line works (tower erection, stringing, foundations)
• Control protection systems (SCADA, SAS, PLC, WAPS/PMU where applicable)
• Resolve site-level engineering issues and ensure timely closure of RFIs, TQs, and design deviations.
• Ensure interface management between renewable plants (solar/wind/BESS) and grid infrastructure.

3. Renewable Energy Grid Integration

• Oversee construction of solar PV plants, wind farms, and BESS systems, ensuring alignment with grid interconnection requirements.
• Ensure readiness of pooling substations, evacuation systems, and SCADA integration.
• Coordinate with stakeholders for grid synchronization, testing, and commissioning activities.

4. Project Controls Planning

• Work with Project Controls team to:
• Track progress against L2/L3 schedules (Primavera/MSP)
• Monitor critical path activities and identify delays
• Implement recovery plans and corrective actions
• Support preparation of daily/weekly/monthly progress reports, dashboards, and forecasts.
• Ensure alignment between construction progress, procurement, and engineering deliverables.

5. Quality Assurance Compliance

• Ensure strict implementation of Quality Management Systems (QMS) and project-specific QAP/FQP.
• Conduct and witness inspections, FAT/SAT, testing commissioning activities.
• Monitor and close Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and ensure corrective/preventive actions.
• Ensure all works comply with IEC, IEEE, IS, and client specifications.

6. Health, Safety Environment

• Enforce zero-incident safety culture and compliance with HSE plans and procedures.
• Ensure implementation of Permit to Work (PTW), risk assessments, and toolbox talks.
• Monitor contractor safety performance and conduct regular audits and inspections.
• Lead incident investigations and ensure implementation of corrective measures.

7. Stakeholder Contractor Management

• Act as the primary interface between client, EPC contractors, vendors, and authorities at site.
• Conduct regular coordination meetings, progress reviews, and issue resolution sessions.
• Ensure timely approvals, decisions, and escalation of critical issues to the Team Leader/PMC leadership.
• Support statutory inspections and compliance with regulatory requirements.

8. Pre-Construction Planning Risk Mitigation

• Conduct site constructability reviews and readiness assessments prior to execution.
• Identify potential risks (technical, logistical, environmental) and implement mitigation strategies.
• Ensure availability of drawings, materials, manpower, and access before activity commencement.
• Plan contingencies to avoid disruption and ensure smooth project execution.

9. Commissioning Handover

• Oversee pre-commissioning, testing, and commissioning activities for all systems.
• Ensure completion of punch points, documentation, and as-built drawings.
