Consultant & Research Officer

This role is ideal for highly experienced engineering graduates (Electrical/Electronics/Mechanical/Energy/Power) or PGDM holders in Power Management. Candidates should possess 3-10 years of post-qualification experience specifically within the power sector, focusing on regulatory affairs, distribution, power planning, transmission, generation, SLDC, or electricity markets. Proficiency in MS Office, especially Advanced Excel, and a strong understanding of India's power sector regulatory framework (Indian Electricity Act-2003, National Tariff Policy, National Electricity Policy) are essential. Individuals with prior experience in Electricity Regulatory Commissions will have a distinct advantage. The position suits professionals seeking a challenging, full-time contractual role with a central government statutory body, contributing to regulatory functions for Goa and Union Territories.

Candidates lacking the specified post-qualification experience of 3-10 years in the power sector or without a relevant engineering/PGDM degree should not apply. Those primarily seeking a permanent government position will find this role unsuitable, as it is strictly a short-term contractual engagement (initially for one year, renewable) and does not guarantee regular appointment. Individuals unwilling to work on a full-time basis, or those who cannot commit to the requirement of not taking up any other assignment during the contract period, should also refrain from applying.

The Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Power, Govt. of India, offering a reputable platform to work on critical regulatory aspects of the power sector for Goa and Union Territories. This consultant role provides significant exposure to policy, regulatory frameworks, and market operations at a national level. While contractual, it offers valuable experience with a central government entity, enhancing professional credentials and opening doors for future opportunities in the broader energy and regulatory domains.
