Responsibility

Job Description

Responsibilities: Please list at least 5 duties/accountabilities.

• Lead and coordinate electrical, mechanical, controls, and CAD engineering teams to deliver complete and accurate IFC drawing packages (single-line diagrams, GA layouts, wiring schematics, HVAC/CFD layouts, grounding, fire systems, network architecture, etc.)
• Review and validate SOO (Sequence of Operations) documentation for power, cooling, and controls systems to ensure alignment with solution architecture, customer specifications, and factory integration constraints.
• Oversee preparation of commissioning documentation, including FAT scripts, test procedures, load-bank plans, protection coordination files, and integrated system validation steps
• Resolve technical clashes early (e.g., cable routing congestion, skid structural capacity, UPS/battery clearances, busbar interfaces, PLC/SCADA points lists)
• Review design packages (electrical, mechanical, controls) and ensure production teams fully understand the build requirements.
• Conduct build readiness reviews with production, quality, HSE, and supply chain teams to ensure all materials, drawings, jigs, and procedures are released before production start.
• Validate vendor-supplied equipment documentation and drawings for interface compliance and serviceability.
• Allocate engineering resources and adjust workloads to meet build milestones and factory throughput targets.
• Identify design, manufacturing, and integration risks early—e.g., long lead items, interface gaps, thermal/harmonic limits, integration delays, or commissioning complexities
• Lead post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and improve future manufacturability, reliability, and cost performance.
• Coach and mentor electrical, mechanical, and controls engineers to improve design quality, manufacturability awareness, and factory integration expertise.
• Foster a culture of safety, precision, and accountability across engineering and production interactions.
