• Steward critical systems including EDGs, UPS and emergency distribution and support hazardous-area equipment integrity and act as the barrier owner for the ignition prevention system and emergency system response (electrical supporting systems).
• Use ETAP and appropriate studies for system performance, protection and modification requirements.
• Focal point in electrical vulnerability assessment, identification of single point failure based on failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis.

What you will need to be successful

In addition to a Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Power Engineering, it is essential that the successful candidate also demonstrates:

• Minimum 10 years of electrical engineering experience in oil and gas, engineering consultancy or EPC; LNG/O&G O&M exposure strongly preferred.
• Proficient electrical knowledge and developed instrumentation and control knowledge.
• Familiar and conversant with ETAP for power system analysis, including harmonic analysis and system stability study.
• Hands-on experience in power system management and power generation operating mode & philosophy.
• Strong fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience in electrical installation and design in hazardous areas in compliance with IEC Ex/ATEX directives.
• Fundamental knowledge in electrical reliability, O&M and moderate to significant electrical RCFA exposure.
• Experience in plant support, upset/trip troubleshooting, immediate-cause analysis, power-management systems, generation control and protection.
• Exposure to live-plant brownfield modifications and tie-ins; strong communication, ownership and delivery focus.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to have:

• Membership in relevant professional engineering institution.
