• Interpret and assess electrical diagrams and cable calculations (including in Caneco) and provide solutions where necessary.
• Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations throughout all relevant project phases.
• Support projects related to process installations (e.g., battery-related projects such as anode).
• Work from transformer level, focusing on low voltage with basic knowledge of high voltage.
• Prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track planning and milestones.
• Correctly interpret SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
• Correctly interpret Exi calculations in the context of ATEX regulations.
• Be willing to travel occasionally within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.

Technical Profile Requirements

• Master’s or bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in a leading E&I role within process industry projects.
• Minimum 7 years of experience as an E&I Engineer in the process industry.
• Excellent knowledge of industrial instrumentation (pressure, flow, level measurements, etc.).
• Experience with project-based work in the process industry.
• Strong knowledge and practical experience with ATEX guidelines and applications.
• Ability to interpret electrical diagrams (e.g., in EPLAN) — drawing skills are not required.
• Experience with Caneco for cable calculations and interpretation.
• Proven experience interpreting SIL safety calculations.
• Basic knowledge of hardware and automation (no programming knowledge required).

Non-Technical Profile Requirements

• You work independently.
• You are solution-oriented.
• You can act diplomatically.
• You can communicate smoothly with different levels.
