• Review vendor EC&I documentation, including control philosophies, cause and effect diagrams, and instrument datasheets, for compliance with project specifications.
• Coordinate integration of package control systems with the plant's distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic controller (PLC) architecture.
• Support technical bid evaluations for EC&I package components during procurement.
• Identify and resolve interface issues between package EC&I scope and site-wide electrical and control systems.
• Participate in factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT) for package control systems.
• Verify vendor compliance with relevant electrical and instrumentation standards throughout the design process.
• Compile EC&I package handover documentation, including as-built drawings and control narratives.

You must have:

• A Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc Eng) in electrical, electronic, or instrumentation and control engineering.
• A minimum of three years' experience in EC&I package engineering within a mining, minerals processing, or industrial environment.
• Demonstrable experience working on mining projects, including underground mining operations.
• Working knowledge of control system architectures, including PLC and DCS platforms.
• Familiarity with relevant electrical and instrumentation design standards.

It would advantage you to have:

• Registration as a Candidate Engineer or Professional Engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
• Experience with specific control system platforms used in the mining sector.
• Exposure to EPCM project delivery environments.

Competencies and Attributes

• Strong systems-integration thinking across control and electrical disciplines.
