In this role, you will have the opportunity to be a design authority for an engineering discipline. You will carry out the engineering, implementation, testing and commissioning of substation automation systems based on ABB System 800xA, covering the full project lifecycle from engineering and FAT through site installation, testing and commissioning. You will work within a multidisciplinary team of automation and electrical engineers, under the guidance of the Engineering Manager, playing a key role in engineering, testing and commissioning the automation system.

The work model for the role is: Onsite

You will be mainly accountable for:

• Engineering and configuring IEC 61850-based Electrical Substation Automation Systems (SAS) under the guidance of the lead engineer, including IED configuration, SCL files, MMS reporting and GOOSE messaging.
• Interpreting single-line diagrams, switchgear schematics and IED documentation to prepare signal lists, IP address lists and interface details with switchgear, protection relay, ICSS and PMS suppliers.
• Integrating LV/MV switchgear equipment and IEDs using industrial communication protocols such as IEC 61850, Modbus, Profibus, Profinet etc.
• Preparing engineering and test documentation, including SCD files, FAT/SAT procedures, test reports, punch lists and as-built documentation.
• Performing internal testing and factory acceptance tests at different factories, including signal verification, interlocking and communication tests.
• Carrying out pre-commissioning, commissioning and SAT at yards and offshore sites, including end-to-end checks with switchgear, ICSS and PMS.
• Troubleshooting communication network and integration issues using specialized tools (e.g. Wireshark, IEDScout, ITT600).
