Assistant General Manager - Engineering - Power Generation

Key Responsibilities: 1. Product Design & R&D: - Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle for new diesel, gas, and alternative-fuel (e.g., biogas, hydrogen) generator sets. - Optimize structural designs including base frames, ISO containers, and acoustic enclosures to ensure superior vibration isolation and sound attenuation. - Oversee advanced thermal management system engineering, focusing on cooling systems, airflow analysis, radiators, and exhaust routing. - Champion the adoption of CAD/PLM workflows (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) and simulation protocols (FEA, CFD). 2. Electrical Engineering & Systems Integration: - Oversee the layout and architecture of HT/LT electrical panels, alternators, switchgears, and control systems. - Manage electrical detailing, including earthing systems, cable scheduling, and wiring architectures. - Integrate automated control logic, such as AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) panels, synchronising panels, and load-sharing systems. - Drive the technical integration of Energy Storage Systems (ESS), batteries, and solar-hybrid technologies with traditional gensets. 3. Tendering, Project Delivery & Client Interaction: - Partner with Sales and Business Development teams to design optimized power solutions for Data Centres, EPC infrastructure, and heavy industries. - Review complex client specifications, approve Bills of Quantity (BOQ), and deliver accurate technical proposal sheets. - Interface directly with industrial consultants, regulatory bodies, and major contractors during the pre-bid and design-freeze stages. 4. Team Leadership & Operations: - Manage, mentor, and build a world-class team of mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineers. - Establish engineering KPIs, quarterly OKRs, and continuous training programs for technical staff. - Collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Procurement, and Quality Assurance teams to streamline design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and cut scrap costs. Technical Skills & Competencies: - Core Product Knowledge: Deep understanding of internal combustion engines, alternators, fuel control loops, and generator configurations. - Standards & Compliance: Mastery of local and international emission laws, ISO testing standards, and safety norms. - Acoustics & Airflow: Strong comprehension of fluid dynamics, noise suppression, and back-pressure limits in engine exhaust setups. - Value Engineering: Proven track record in BOM optimization and material selection to lower production costs without dropping product lifespan. Qualifications & Experience: - Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. - Experience: 12 - 15+ years of core engineering experience in power generation, capital equipment, or heavy rotating equipment manufacturing. - Leadership: Minimum 5 years in a senior manager, or department head role overseeing multi-disciplinary engineering teams. - Domain: Deep expertise in working with Genset OEMs, EPC infrastructure providers, or large industrial power plants.
