Job Description
An opening exists for a Principal Smart Metering Deployment Compliance Officer (QA) to join the Utility Billing & Metering Services vertical, focused on Smart Metering Deployment - Quality & Compliance. This is a senior level opening based out of Indore, offered on a leadership - full-time basis.
The ideal candidate holds Any Graduate + Utility Certification and brings roughly 9 years of hands-on exposure to smart metering deployment - quality & compliance. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on Quality, Smart Metering Deployment, Customer Complaint Resolution, Documentation & Reporting, and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.
Compensation for this position is structured around INR 19.1-29.6 LPA, in line with market standards for senior level roles within utility billing & metering services.
Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth.
Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
This is a good fit for someone who wants real ownership rather than a purely execution-only role.
