JOB OVERVIEW

The Project Engineer - Electro/Mechanical/Instrumentation (E/M/I) supports the planning, coordination, execution, and monitoring of all electro-mechanical and instrumentation works within a pumped storage hydropower project. The role focuses on ensuring proper installation, integration, testing, and commissioning of key systems such as hydro turbines, generators, transformers, substations, automation, instrumentation, and balance-of-plant systems.

THE ROLE

Support the execution of electrical, instrumentation, and control works from design review through commissioning. Review electrical drawings, instrumentation diagrams, control schematics, P&IDs, and system philosophies. Assist in coordination and supervision of installation works for electrical systems, instrumentation devices, and control systems. Support SCADA integration, testing, and commissioning activities (dry test, wet test, loop checks, and system functional testing). Conduct site inspections for electrical and instrumentation works across hydropower, water treatment plants, substations, and related facilities. Assist in QA/QC implementation including preparation and review of Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), Quality Plans, and checklists. Monitor contractor compliance with design specifications, safety requirements, and project quality standards. Support troubleshooting and technical resolution during installation, testing, and plant start-up activities. Assist in preparation of daily site reports, progress monitoring, inspection reports, and project documentation. Coordinate with civil, mechanical, electrical, and automation teams to ensure proper system integration. Participate in risk assessments and technical evaluations to prevent site and commissioning issues. Witness testing activities for electrical and instrumentation systems including SCADA, protection systems, and plant automation. Ensure compliance with applicable standards such as PEC, IEC, IEEE, ISA, and project-specific requirements. Provide technical support to engineers and site teams during construction and commissioning phases.
