Job Summary

One of our client is looking for an experienced, hands-on I&C / Electrical Engineer specializing in turbo-generator electrical control, excitation, and protection systems.

The role covers technical support, troubleshooting, inspection, maintenance, testing, commissioning, and modernisation at power generation facilities, including multi-OEM equipment.

Key Responsibilities

AVR & Excitation Systems

• Inspect, maintain, test, troubleshoot, and commission Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) and static/brushless excitation systems.
• Diagnose voltage regulation, field flashing, and excitation control issues; support retrofit and modernisation projects.

Static Frequency Converter (SFC) Systems

• Inspect, troubleshoot, maintain and commission SFC systems used for gas turbine starting.
• Diagnose converter, inverter, thyristor, control-interface and related electrical protection faults.

Generator Protection Systems

• Test, commission and troubleshoot numerical generator protection relays.
• Work with functions including 87G, 64G, 40, 32, 50/51, 59/27; review settings, perform secondary injection tests and analyse faults.

Control Panels & Auxiliary Systems

• Maintain generator control, synchronization, monitoring and auxiliary panels; troubleshoot PLC logic, alarms, interlocks and DCS interfaces.
• Support generator circuit breaker (GCB), synchronization and associated auxiliary electrical systems.

Field Services & Technical Support

• Perform site inspections, troubleshooting, testing and commissioning during generator overhauls, rehabilitation and retrofit projects.
• Interpret wiring diagrams, electrical drawings and control logic; prepare technical reports and root-cause analyses.
• Coordinate with customers, OEM engineering teams, and field personnel across the region.

Requirement

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Control Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 7-10 years of relevant experience in power generation electrical and control systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with turbo-generator AVR/excitation, generator protection and/or SFC systems.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems independently; familiarity with testing and relay commissioning equipment.
• Good English technical communication, reporting skills, and willingness to travel frequently.

Preferred Background

• Experience with large turbo generators at combined-cycle, gas turbine, or steam turbine plants.
• Demonstrated involvement in AVR upgrades, excitation modernisation, SFC commissioning, and generator protection retrofits.
• Field-service and commissioning experience preferred over purely design-based experience.
