Job Description Summary Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or is focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results.
The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.).

Job Description

The role will work within defined parameters to make decisions, design & provide technical solutions while promoting standard solutions & cost competitivity. You will be part of a team that defines the HVDC & AC control & protection hardware, system architectures and associated documentation in line with customer requirement. As a part of the Reference solution team, your solution in tendering would be a foundation of efficient and good quality project delivery.

Main duties and responsibilities will include;

• Analyze in depth customer specification, identify gaps, raise clarifications & build solid technical solution to cater to customer requirement for AC & HVDC control & protection system

• In coordination with systems team, design/prepare AC substation single line diagrams   

• Develop/ Customize standard control architectures, design of LAN networks, identify main IO lists through signal mapping & implement the necessary hardware & its compatibility with the control system

• Lead in collaboration with NPI teams, the configuration of Remote Terminal Units (RTU), Bay Controllers (BCU) and Merging Units for signal acquisition in digital substation environments.

• Knowledge of latest protocols (like IEC 61850) & cybersecurity standards and their implementation in the network

• Coordinate with internal and external partners to provide a complete solution with clear division of responsibility

• Provide input data like auxiliary consumption, cubicle/equipment list to partners

• Prepare technical specifications for sourcing and validation of offers received.

• Plan & ensure on-time delivery of engineering documents and cost estimates

• Evaluate risks and opportunities & proposes mitigation measures

• Participate and promote standardization of systems, solutions, documents and equipment

• Follow the departments standard design practices, engineering reviews and guidelines.

• Share engineering information and promote open dialogue.

• Comply with Quality Procedures, work instructions and Processes in EMH

• Under the guidance of lead engineers, define Control Panel requirements and produce detailed design documentation for the control system using standard design blocks. This may include

  • Panel Electrical Schematics (using Engineering Base tool)

  • Wire/Cable Schedules

  • Routine Test specification

  • General Assembly drawings

  • Bill of Materials

  • Oversee the testing and FAT witnessing of the Control System.

  • Assist site activities relevant to the installation and commissioning of the control system.

Lead Controls Engineer requirements:
