Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Commissioning Engineer with a strong background in both engineering design and the commissioning of low, medium, and high voltage (LV/MV/HV) distribution systems, transformers, switchboards, and steel plant equipment. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in commissioning and start-up activities, as well as the ability to provide technical input into the engineering design process.

The Electrical Commissioning Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring that all electrical systems are commissioned effectively and safely, working closely with design, engineering, and operations teams to meet project objectives. This role requires a degree in Electrical Engineering and 10-15 years of experience in commissioning and start-up activities for industrial facilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Commissioning of Electrical Systems:
• Oversee the commissioning and start-up of LV/MV/HV distribution systems, transformers, switchboards, and steel plant equipment.
• Develop and execute detailed commissioning plans, procedures, and test scripts for electrical systems.
• Ensure systems are commissioned per design specifications, safety standards, and project schedules.
• Technical Input into Engineering and Design:
• Provide engineering input during the design phase to ensure electrical systems are optimized for commissioning and operational performance.
• Collaborate with design and project teams to review electrical drawings and specifications.
• Identify and resolve design and installation issues that may impact commissioning activities.
• Knowledge and understanding of the applicable Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas standards and specifications.
• Testing and Validation:
• Conduct testing, troubleshooting, and validation of electrical systems to confirm operational readiness.
• Perform inspections, functional testing, and system performance assessments to ensure all equipment operates safely and efficiently.
