The Procurement Category Lead for Power Infrastructure will be the strategic commercial leader responsible for developing and executing sourcing strategies for high-value EHV (typically 220 kV, 400 kV, and above) Substation and Transmission Line projects for its Data centre park development.

This critical role requires a specialized skill set:

    Deep understanding of EHV infrastructure components and project phases.
  2. Contractual Expertise:
    Mastery of Lump-Sum Turnkey (LSTK)/ EPC contracting models and risk mitigation.

The successful candidate will be the primary driver for cost optimization, contractual compliance, and robust execution performance from our strategic EPC partners.

2. Contractual Risk & Commercial Management

  • Lead high-stakes negotiations
    for complex EPC contracts, focusing on critical commercial, legal terms and payment milestones tied to physical progress and statutory clearances.
  • Collaborate closely with Legal and Project teams to ensure contractual clauses effectively mitigate risks related to land acquisition delays, Right-of-Way (ROW) issues, and local regulatory changes common in the region.
  • Manage and resolve all commercial aspects post-award, including change orders, variation claims, and scope deviations, ensuring minimal project cost overruns.

3. Technical & Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Maintain a working technical knowledge of EHV equipment (e.g., GIS/AIS switchgear, power transformers, relay protection schemes) and Tx line construction methodologies (e.g., tower types, stringing).
  • Act as the crucial link between Procurement, Engineering, and Project Delivery teams to ensure technical specifications are standardized and commercially optimized for TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
  • Drive compliance with all project specifications and relevant Indian and International standards (e.g., IS, IEC, CERC/MERC guidelines).

4. Local Compliance & Vendor Performance

  • Ensure all procurement processes adhere strictly to company ethics, Indian contracting law, and relevant regulations set forth by state utilities such as MSETCL (Maharashtra State Transmission Utility) and MERC and similar statutory bodies.
  • Establish and monitor rigorous
    Vendor Performance Management (VPM)
    metrics focused on safety, quality, schedule adherence, and financial viability of the projects.
  • Proactively identify and address potential bottlenecks caused by localized constraints (e.g., local logistics, municipal permits).
