Lead Electrical Plant Integration Engineer

Would you like to be a part of successful team?

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for passionate, curious, and innovation-oriented electrical engineers who embrace our ambitious mission to develop low-to-zero carbon power plant solutions and to drive plants electrification, by leveraging on our legacy background while investing in new competencies and technologies.

Partner with the best

As Lead Electrical Plant Integration Engineer within the Energy Management and Electrical Plant Integration CoE organization, you will be leading electrical engineering activities of highly challenging projects like liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, combined-cycle power plants, hybrid power plants (combining renewables and energy storage with conventional gas-fired generation), process or turbomachinery modular solutions, carbon-capture plants, and more under development.

Specifically, you will be accountable for the following key activities:

• Performing electrical design activities aimed at sizing and specifying key electrical equipment at plant level, including LV / MV / HV equipment (e.g. MCC, switchgears, substations), LV / MV cables, transformers, e-houses / local electrical rooms, electrical protection systems, etc.
• Performing or coordinating power system studies to ensure a satisfactory behaviour of the electrical network, including main equipment sizing validation through load flow and short-circuit analyses, transient stability studies, harmonics analyses, protection coordination, arc-flash studies, etc.
• Performing a technical selection of all electrical items in the scope of supply (e.g., Electrical MV generators, Electrical MV motor, & DCP/MCC, Batteries etc.)
• Specifying the motor / VFD sets for electric motor-driven compressor applications, in accordance with internal design practices and the project/customer technical specifications.
• Verifying that the design proposed by the supplier(s) is compliant with technical specifications, drawings/documents exchanged and also participating in the technical meetings with Suppliers and customers.
• Issuing technical purchase specifications for key electrical items, vendors technical alignment and coordination, design drawings follow-up
• Managing technical documentation during the engineering development phase following up with supplier and customer up to finalization.
