At Tata Technologies, we make product development dreams a reality by designing, engineering, and validating the products of tomorrow for the world’s leading manufacturers. Due to our continued growth, we are now recruiting for a Project Manager to join our team in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The role

We are looking for a Project Manager to lead the implementation of our Clients Cloud Energy Management System (VEMS) and Power Plant Controller (PPC) for a grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS). You will manage requirements, suppliers, engineering, industrial networks, cybersecurity, DSO and aggregator integration, testing, commissioning, and handover. The role ensures that the complete control and communication solution meets technical, safety, regulatory, grid, operational, schedule, and quality requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the project from requirements and design through implementation, testing, commissioning, acceptance, and handover.
• Maintain scope, budget, schedule, risks, resources, governance, reporting, and change control.
• Coordinate BESS, VEMS, PPC, network, cybersecurity, DSO, aggregator, and site-operation stakeholders.
• Manage interfaces between BMS, PCS/inverters, VEMS, PPC, DSO systems, and aggregator platforms.
• Lead requirements breakdown, acceptance criteria, traceability, design reviews, and technical decision-making.
• Coordinate VEMS and PPC functionality, including dispatch, state-of-charge management, active and reactive power control, ramp-rate limits, frequency response, curtailment, alarms, and fallback behavior.
• Coordinate DSO and aggregator interfaces, submissions, witness testing, operational trials, approvals, and issue resolution.
• Supervise network implementation, including switches, cabling, VLANs, routing, redundancy, time synchronization, firewalls, and secure remote access.
• Lead FAT, SAT, integrated, grid-compliance, cybersecurity, performance, and operational testing.
• Manage test evidence, deviations, defects, corrective actions, retesting, and final acceptance.
• Ensure complete handover of approved documentation, procedures, backups, configurations, and training materials.

Key deliverables

• Project execution plan, schedule, risk register, and responsibility matrix
• Requirements and traceability/compliance matrix
• VEMS/PPC functional requirements and control philosophy
• DSO and aggregator interface plans
• Provide the network architecture, topology, IP/VLAN schedules, port maps, and firewall documentation as defined by the clients Energy D&IT blueprint
• Verification, validation, and test strategy
• FAT, SAT, commissioning, grid-compliance, cybersecurity, and performance-test documentation
• DSO and aggregator approval records
• Operating procedures, training material, and final handover dossier
• Achieving full requirements traceability, safe and compliant DSO and aggregator integration, successful completion of all required testing and approvals, timely closure of issues, and a complete operational handover.

Background / Experience

• Experience managing complex power, automation, or control-system projects.
• Proven experience with requirements management, testing, validation, acceptance, and technical interfaces.
• Experience coordinating with a DSO, TSO, utility, grid owner, aggregator, flexibility provider, or energy-market platform.
• Practical knowledge of grid-connected BESS, EMS/PPC, PCS, metering, protection, power quality, and grid-support functions.
• Experience with end-to-end testing across cloud platforms, industrial networks, firewalls, EMS/PPC, BESS, and grid interfaces.
• Ability to manage setpoint priorities, operating limits, response times, availability, cybersecurity, and communication-loss behavior.
• Knowledge of flexibility, ancillary services, reserve, balancing, or energy markets is advantageous.
