This role requires expertise in high-voltage and low-voltage systems, control systems, and troubleshooting within a large-scale wind farm environment.

🔑 Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Design Review:

• Review and approve WTG electrical drawings, specifications, single- line diagrams, cable schedules, and material submittals (e.g., transformers, inverters, switchgear).
• Ensure all electrical installation designs and implementations conform to IEC standards, project specifications, and grid code requirements.

Construction & Installation Oversight:

• Supervise the on-site installation, testing, and commissioning of all WTG electrical components, including internal wiring, power conversion systems, control cabinets, and earthing systems.
• Monitor the quality of electrical work, ensuring adherence to strict safety protocols (LOTO procedures, arc flash safety) and quality control measures.
• Coordinate with the WTG supplier/OEM and the EPC team to resolve electrical interface issues.

Testing and Commissioning:

• Develop and execute comprehensive pre-commissioning and commissioning test procedures for WTG electrical systems.
• Witness and approve Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
• Ensure successful energization and integration of the WTGs into the medium-voltage (MV) collection network.

Technical Support & Troubleshooting:

• Provide expert technical guidance for resolving complex electrical faults and performance issues encountered during construction, commissioning, and initial operation.
• Maintain detailed records of all electrical modifications, tests, and maintenance activities.

Documentation & Reporting:

• Prepare detailed daily, weekly, and monthly reports on electrical progress, safety incidents, and quality issues related to the WTGs.
• Manage and archive all relevant electrical documentation (As-Built drawings, test reports, O&M manuals).

✅ Qualifications and Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s or Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in electrical engineering, with at least 3 years directly related to wind energy projects and WTG systems (e.g., Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Goldwind, GE).

Skills

• Technical Skills:
• Deep knowledge of HV/MV/LV electrical power systems, protection relays, transformers, and power electronics (inverters/converters).
• Familiarity with WTG control and SCADA systems.
• Proficiency in interpreting P&ID diagrams and electrical schematics.
• Strong understanding of international electrical codes and standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE).
