Senior Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer/ Manager

Role Description

1. Electrical Design & Engineering

• Develop and refine Low Voltage (LV) electrical designs, including detailed Single Line Diagrams (SLD) and schematic drawings.

• Perform load calculations, cable sizing, and voltage drop analysis to ensure system stability.

• Select appropriate circuit protection (MCCBs, MCBs, RCDs) and switchgear based on fault level calculations.

• Ensure all designs comply with Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) regulations and international standards (IEC/BS).



2. Control System & Panel Design

• Design Control Panels and Motor Control Centers (MCC), including layout and wiring diagrams.

• Integrate PLC hardware (e.g., Siemens, Schneider, or Omron) and specify I/O requirements for automated processes.

• Design motor control circuits involving Direct-On-Line (DOL), Star-Delta starters, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD).

• Prepare Bill of Quantities (BQ) and select electrical components (contactors, relays, terminals) from reputable vendors.



3. Instrumentation & Process Control

• Select and specify process instruments including pressure, temperature, flow, and level sensors suitable for hazardous or corrosive environments.

• Design instrument loops and specify signal types (4-20mA, HART, Modbus).

• Oversee the integration of instrumentation with the main control system to ensure accurate data logging and automated safety interlocks.



4. Project Execution & Hands-on Support

• Supervise on-site installation, cabling, and termination works to ensure high-quality workmanship.

• Lead the testing and commissioning (T&C) of electrical panels and instruments.

• Perform troubleshooting of electrical faults and control logic issues on-site.

• Coordinate with mechanical and process teams to ensure seamless integration of E&I components with equipment like incinerators and separators.
