Electrical Maintenance Engineer

About the Role Join Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer supporting critical manufacturing utilities. This role ensures reliable power supply, safe electrical operations, and continuous improvement of electrical systems across Production, QC, and Utilities to sustain manufacturing throughput. What You'll Do

• Power Supply & Distribution Management: Ensure continuous availability of power supply to critical areas (Production, QC, Warehouse, Utilities). Operate and maintain HT/LT panels, transformers, DG sets, UPS systems and battery banks; monitor electrical load distribution and optimize power consumption; manage power changeover systems (Mains ↔ DG ↔ UPS) without interruption to critical equipment.
• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Execute preventive maintenance schedules for all electrical equipment; perform predictive maintenance activities including thermography (hotspot detection), insulation resistance testing, vibration and current analysis; ensure zero breakdowns in critical utilities supporting manufacturing & HVAC systems.
• Breakdown Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Attend electrical breakdowns with defined response time; troubleshoot motors, VFDs, PLC panels, SCADA systems; diagnose control circuits and sensors; perform RCA and implement CAPA.
• Calibration & Compliance: Calibrate electrical instruments and sensors/transmitters (temperature, humidity, differential pressure related to HVAC); maintain records in line with cGMP documentation requirements; support audits (USFDA, MHRA, internal audits) with proper data.
• EHS & Electrical Safety: Ensure electrical systems comply with safety standards including earthing/grounding, lightning protection, electrical panel safety; implement LOTO and PTW; conduct electrical safety audits and risk assessments.
• Utility System Support: Provide electrical support to HVAC systems, water systems, compressed air systems; ensure uninterrupted support to critical GMP utilities.
• Energy Management & Cost Optimization: Monitor energy consumption; drive energy-saving initiatives (LED replacements, power factor improvement, demand control); support sustainability and cost-reduction projects.
• Documentation & GMP Compliance: Maintain electrical logs, breakdown reports, preventive maintenance records; prepare SOPs and checklists; ensure data integrity (ALCOA) in all records.
• Projects & Improvements: Support installation and commissioning of new equipment; participate in qualification activities (IQ, OQ); provide validation support where electrical systems impact process; execute Kaizen/TPM/Jishu Hozen for reliability improvement.
• Coordination & Stakeholder Management: Coordinate with production teams for shutdown planning; QA for compliance requirements; external vendors for maintenance activities; supervise contractors and ensure safety & compliance. What We're Looking For
• Educational Qualification: Diploma / B.Tech / B.E in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience: 6 to 8 years in Pharmaceutical / API / OSD manufacturing; highly regulated industries preferred.
• Skills & Capabilities: Strong knowledge of electrical power distribution, HT/LT panels, transformers, DG sets, UPS; proficiency with motors, VFDs, PLC/SCADA; calibration, thermography, insulation resistance testing, vibration analysis; familiarity with cGMP documentation and regulatory audits; strong safety culture (LOTO, PTW). Compensation & Benefits
• Joining and relocation support; family support (maternity and paternity benefits); learning and development opportunities; medical coverage for you and your family; life insurance coverage.
