This thread was temporarily closed because the OP's profile indicated he was not associated with the electrical industry. In an exchange of private messages, I have been assured that in addition to being an engineer, he is also licensed as an electrician in his jurisdiction. I am therefore reopening the thread. I apologize to the OP for the delay and inconvenience.

Will work as shown. Equipment ground could be a #10. Be sure grounded and grounding conductors have properly identified continuous jacket.

If the sub panel is remote from the building, ie not attached to the structure where it gets its power then you need to have ground rods or some other grounding electrode.
