Electrical Engineer (Industrial Gas Turbines)

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Auxiliaries Engineer specializing in Heavy-Duty Industrial Gas Turbines. In this role, you will be responsible for the technical specification, integration,and lifecycle support of electrical auxiliary systems that support large-scale turbomachinery packages.You will serve as the technical lead for critical subsystems such as Packaged Electronic/Electrical Control Compartment (PEECC) , Generator Circuit Breaker (GCB), ISO Phase Duct, static starting system (LCI), excitation/AVR, generator protection relay and control panel, and electrical load distributions. This role ensures the high reliability, compliance with international standards, andseamless plant integration of the electrical auxiliary systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The essential functions of the job include, but are not limited to, the following:

• System Design & Engineering: Lead the design, specification, and evaluation of electrical auxiliary equipment for heavy-duty gas turbine packages.
• Technical Specifications: Author and/or review standard electrical technical specifications, Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), Bill of Materials (BOM), Single Line Diagrams (SLD), schematic diagrams, cable schedules, and Request for Quotation (RFQ) documents for auxiliary equipment suppliers.
• Vendor Management: Perform technical evaluations of supplier bids, manage interfaces with auxiliary system groups, and conduct Design Reviews to guarantee equipment fully complies with contract requirements.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure all designs adhere to global electrical codes and hazard certifications (e.g., NEC, IEC, IEEE, ATEX, and CE regulations for hazardous areas/explosive atmospheres). Participate in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root-Cause Investigations.
• Plant Integration & Testing: Interface with Project Engineering, EPC contractors, and control system engineers to define electrical load lists, utility consumptions, network architectures, and hardware/software interfaces. Oversee factory acceptance testing (FAT) and support site commissioning teams.

Minimum Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience: Minimum of 5–8 years of engineering experience working specifically with heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, or complex large-scale turbomachinery auxiliary systems.
• Technical Knowledge: Expertise in electrical load calculations, sizing of breakers, sizing of transformers, short circuit calculations, and familiarity with equipment used in power generation or oil & gas facilities.
• Standards Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of global engineering and drafting standards, including ATEX, IEC, IEEE, NEC, and API standards (e.g., API 614 for lubrication systems).
• Software Skills: Proficiency with electrical engineering software tools (such as ETAP, AutoCAD Electrical) or modeling platforms is an asset.
• Communication: Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills in English; ability to lead multi-functional integrated product development teams.
• Must be able to travel up to 25%.
