 Assist in mounting of BMS, busbars, contactors, and related components.

 Avoid interference issues and ensure serviceability access.

1. Packing & Dispatch (Battery Systems)

 Ensure safe packing of battery systems considering sensitivity and transport risks.

 Use proper materials (foam, EPDM gaskets, insulation protection, wooden crates).

 Verify all mechanical and electrical accessories are included before dispatch.

 Follow handling and safety guidelines specific to battery systems.

1. Installation & Field Support

 Travel to customer sites for battery system installation and integration.

 Perform on-site mechanical assembly, alignment, and structural fixing.

 Coordinate with Electrical team for commissioning support.

 Troubleshoot mechanical issues affecting system performance or safety.

 Ensure proper installation practices as per safety standards.

1. Quality, Safety & Coordination

 Follow SOPs, safety practices, and battery handling guidelines.

 Perform pre-dispatch and post-installation inspections.

 Maintain build logs, installation reports, and issue tracking.

 Coordinate with R&D, Electrical, and Project teams for timely delivery.

 Identify risks and suggest improvements in design and assembly.

Required Skills & Qualifications

 ITI / Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

 2–5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical assembly.

 Experience in battery packs, BESS enclosures, or similar systems (preferred/mandatory).

 Strong ability to read engineering drawings.

 Mandatory hands-on experience in mechanical tooling and shop floor operations.

 Basic understanding of electrical components and integration.

Preferred Skills

 Experience working with Electrical/BMS teams.

 Knowledge of HV/LV cable routing, busbars, and battery safety practices.
