Description
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Field Engineer to support daily Pre-Dispatch Inspection (PDI), quality checks, and field-level technical activities for our Battery Swapping Station Project across the Delhi-NCR region.
This is a predominantly field-based role requiring frequent visits to vendor locations, fabrication facilities, installation sites, and project locations.
The ideal candidate should have hands-on knowledge of sheet metal fabrication processes, mechanical assemblies, quality inspection procedures, and technical documentation. The candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving product designs and project requirements.
Key Responsibilities
1. Pre-Dispatch Inspection (PDI) & Quality Assurance
- Conduct daily PDI activities for battery swapping station components and assemblies.
- Inspect fabricated and assembled components against approved engineering drawings, technical specifications, and quality standards.
- Identify manufacturing defects, dimensional deviations, finishing issues, and assembly-related non-conformities.
- Verify product quality, functionality, workmanship, and readiness before dispatch.
- Prepare PDI reports, inspection checklists, and quality documentation.
- Coordinate with internal teams and vendors to ensure timely closure of inspection observations.
2. Sheet Metal Fabrication & Mechanical Inspection
- Inspect sheet metal fabrication processes, including:
- Laser cutting and dimensional accuracy
- Sheet metal bending and forming
- Welding quality and structural integrity
- Mechanical assembly and component fitment
- Powder coating, surface finishing, and visual quality
- Verify fabricated components against engineering drawings, tolerances, and specifications.
- Identify manufacturing defects and recommend corrective actions.
- Coordinate with fabrication vendors to resolve quality concerns.
3. Field Operations & Project Coordination
- Travel extensively across Delhi-NCR for daily inspections and project-related field activities.
- Coordinate with vendors, manufacturing partners, and internal project teams.
- Support on-site quality checks, mechanical inspections, and issue resolution at battery swapping station locations.
- Track inspection schedules, report issues, and ensure timely project execution.
- Provide field-level feedback to engineering and product development teams for continuous product improvement.
4. Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain accurate PDI reports, inspection records, photographs, checklists, and non-conformance reports (NCRs).
- Ensure proper documentation in accordance with company guidelines and quality procedures.
- Maintain daily inspection status reports and communicate pending observations.
- Track corrective and preventive actions and verify closure of identified defects.
- Ensure proper traceability of inspection findings and approvals.
5. Continuous Improvement & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Adapt to frequent product modifications, engineering changes, and evolving project requirements.
- Work closely with Quality, Production, Design, Engineering, and Project Execution teams.
- Recommend improvements in fabrication quality, inspection methods, and operational efficiency.
- Support root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for recurring quality issues.
Required Skills & Competencies
- Strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes, including laser cutting, bending, welding, assembly, and powder coating.
- Practical experience in PDI, quality inspection, mechanical assembly inspection, or manufacturing quality control.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings, dimensions, and tolerances.
- Familiarity with measuring instruments such as Vernier calipers, micrometers, measuring tapes, and gauges.
- Knowledge of quality inspection methods, defect identification, and non-conformance reporting.
- Proficiency in MS Excel, Google Sheets, and basic reporting tools.
- Strong attention to detail and systematic documentation skills.
- Good communication, problem-solving, and vendor coordination abilities.
- Ability to independently manage daily field inspections and reporting.
- Flexibility to adapt to an agile work environment and continuous product evolution.
Educational Qualifications
- Diploma / B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Preferred Experience: 2–5 years in field quality inspection, PDI, sheet metal fabrication, mechanical manufacturing, or related industries.
- Experience in EV infrastructure, battery swapping stations, electrical enclosures, sheet metal cabinets, or industrial equipment manufacturing will be an added advantage.
Additional Requirements
- Willingness to travel extensively across Delhi-NCR on a daily basis.
- Comfortable working at vendor facilities, manufacturing units, and project installation sites.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Two-wheeler and valid driving licence preferred for field mobility.
- Willingness to accommodate urgent inspections and changing project priorities.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Completion of daily PDI activities as per project schedules.
- Accuracy and completeness of inspection reports.
- Timely identification and closure of quality deviations.
- Reduction in recurring fabrication and assembly defects.
- Adherence to company quality standards and documentation procedures.
- Effective coordination with vendors and internal stakeholders.
