Electrical Site Engineer Apprentice

We are looking for a motivated Assistant Electrical Engineer Intern base in Kochi to join our project execution team. This role is intended for an Electrical Engineering graduate or diploma holder who wants practical, site-based experience in HT/LT electrical contracting and project execution.

The intern will work closely with senior engineers and project teams and gain hands-on exposure to electrical installation, site coordination, documentation, testing, and commissioning.

This is a field-oriented engineering role, so candidates should be comfortable working at project sites and learning through practical experience rather than expecting an exclusively desk-based position. Humanity has somehow managed to build electrical systems by looking at drawings, so the drawings matter.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist senior engineers in the execution of HT/LT electrical works at project sites.
• Assist with installation and erection of:
• HT/LT panels
• Distribution panels and associated equipment
• Transformers
• HT/LT cables
• Cable trays and cable support systems
• Earthing and related electrical systems
• Assist in HT cable laying, routing, termination, jointing, and related site activities under qualified supervision.
• Read and understand electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs), layout drawings, cable schedules, and basic electrical drawings.
• Assist in monitoring site work according to approved drawings, specifications, and project requirements.
• Coordinate with supervisors, technicians, subcontractors, vendors, and other project teams as required.
• Assist with material verification, quantity checking, and maintaining basic site records.
• Prepare or update basic project documentation, reports, checklists, measurements, and work progress records.
• Assist engineers during testing and commissioning of electrical equipment and systems.
• Follow applicable electrical safety procedures, site safety requirements, and quality standards.
• Report site progress, technical issues, material requirements, and deviations to the senior engineer.
• Support the project team in ensuring work is completed within the required quality, safety, and schedule parameters.

Required Qualifications

• B.Tech / B.E. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or
• Diploma in Electrical Engineering / Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
• Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Basic understanding of:
• Electrical power systems
• HT/LT distribution
• Transformers
• Switchgear and protection
• Electrical cables
• Earthing
• Basic electrical drawings and SLDs
• Basic knowledge of MS Office, particularly Excel and Word.
• Willingness to work at electrical project sites.
• Good communication and coordination skills.
• Ability to learn technical procedures and work under the guidance of senior engineers.

Preferred Skills

Candidates with knowledge or academic exposure to the following will be preferred:

• HT/LT panels and switchgear
• Transformer installation
• HT cable laying and termination
• Cable tray installation
• Earthing systems
• Electrical testing and commissioning
• AutoCAD / electrical drawings
• Electrical estimation and quantity measurement
• Basic knowledge of relevant IS/IEC standards and electrical safety practices

What You Will Learn

During the internship, you will gain practical exposure to:

• HT/LT electrical project execution
• Electrical equipment erection and installation
• Transformer and panel installation
• HT/LT cable laying and termination
• Electrical testing and commissioning
• Reading and interpreting electrical drawings
• Site supervision and coordination
• Material planning and project documentation
• Quality control and electrical safety
• Real-world electrical contracting and project management

Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone who is:

• Technically curious and willing to learn
• Comfortable working in a site environment
• Responsible and punctual
• Detail-oriented
• Able to follow instructions and safety procedures
• Willing to take responsibility and gradually handle independent tasks
• Interested in building a long-term career in electrical contracting, project execution, and power systems

Pay: ₹10,000.00 - ₹20,000.00 per month
