Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to handle electrical design verification, engineering calculations, and preparation of issue-ready drawings for compact, factory-built industrial infrastructure systems. The role involves working on on-site power generation, electrical distribution, protection systems, technical facility power supply, and energy metering, while supporting installation and commissioning activities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Verify electrical load lists and energy balances against process designs, including all parasitic loads.
• Prepare single-line diagrams, load lists, cable schedules, earthing designs, and lightning protection systems.
• Specify transformers, switchgear, protection systems, cabling, and UPS equipment.
• Perform short-circuit, voltage-drop, and protection discrimination studies.
• Evaluate available power generation equipment and switchgear, including used units, and provide documented purchase or rejection recommendations.
• Design revenue-grade energy metering at every energy boundary.
• Design electrical systems for hazardous areas.
• Support electrical installation, energisation, loop checks, commissioning, utility interfaces, and generation permissions.
• Collaborate with mechanical and controls engineers to ensure effective integration of electrical systems.
• Independently prepare engineering calculations and drawings to an issue-ready standard.

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering for power generation or industrial plants.
• Practical experience with low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) electrical systems.
• Experience with at least one installation that the candidate personally energised and commissioned.
• Strong knowledge of single-line diagrams, cable sizing, electrical protection, short-circuit calculations, and earthing systems.
• Experience specifying generators, transformers, and switchgear.
• Understanding of energy metering and hazardous-area electrical requirements.
• Strong commitment to electrical safety and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Technical Skills and Tools:

• AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN.
• ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, SKM, or Amtech.
• Ability to perform reliable manual or Excel-based engineering calculations.

Key Deliverables:

• Electrical single-line diagrams.
• Electrical load lists and energy balance calculations.
• Cable sizing calculations and cable schedules.
• Earthing and lightning protection designs.
• Transformer, switchgear, protection, cabling, and UPS specifications.
• Short-circuit, voltage-drop, and protection studies.
• Electrical layouts and hazardous-area drawings.
• Energy metering drawings and documentation.

Working Model:

The engineering team performs its own calculations and prepares drawings in-house. Candidates must be capable of taking engineering requirements through to issue-ready deliverables and explaining the electrical engineering work they have personally completed.
