Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer, with specialized expertise in upstream and midstream oil and gas operations. The ideal candidate will be responsible for engineering, designing, commissioning, and starting electrical systems, as well as specifying electrical equipment critical to the safe and efficient operation of oil and gas and other facilities. Occasional travel and site visit might be required.

Key Responsibilities:

Electrical System Design:

• Develop detailed electrical designs and specifications for oil and gas facilities, including power distribution systems, motor controls, instrumentation, and lighting.
• Develop electrical drawings and documents that include load lists, one-line drawings, power plans, hazard classification maps, cable routing (cable tray/raceways), cable & conduit schedules, heat-trace design, grounding, and lighting plans (including photometric studies)
• Coordinate with designers to create all necessary design documentations, then review and stamp these documents for construction.

Equipment Selection and Procurement Support:

• Evaluate and select appropriate electrical equipment (Switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, Transformers, Transfer Switches, etc.) and components for oil and gas projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations, especially National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Review vendor submittals and prepare bid analysis to support procurement.

Safety and Compliance:

Ensure all electrical systems and components meet industry safety standards and regulatory requirements, and participate in multidisciplinary reviews, safety audits, and inspections.

Collaboration and Coordination:

Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including process/mechanical engineers, piping designers, project managers, and client operations teams, to ensure seamless project execution.

Documentation and Reporting:

Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of electrical systems, including drawings, schematics, and equipment manuals. Generate progress reports as required.

Beneficial Skills:

• Ability to effectively read and comprehend P&IDs
• Design and implement control systems for pumps, compressors, valves, and other equipment.
• Develop instrumentation drawings and documents such as IO lists, instrument lists, datasheets installation details, instrument locations drawings, wiring diagrams and loop sheets. Control system deliverables such as control system architectures, IO card schematics, panel layouts and wiring diagram
• Specify and select instrumentation and process control hardware (PLC, DCS IO etc.)

A successful candidate will have:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering experience (10+ years).
• Oil and Gas (upstream / midstream) and Refinery/Petrochemical industry experience preferred.
• Experience specifying and selecting electrical distribution equipment (Switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, Transformers, Transfer Switches, etc.)
• Experience in the development of electrical drawings and documents that include one-line drawings, power plans, hazard classification maps, cable routing (cable tray/raceways), cable & conduit schedules, grounding and lighting plans (including photometric studies).
• Experience developing complete electrical, instrumentation and controls drawing packages as part of construction packages.
• A strong understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and industry design standards.
• The ability to estimate engineering hours to perform project related tasks for proposal development.
• Field work required in heavy industrial environments.
• Field construction coordination and commissioning/startup experience a plus.
• Construction cost estimating a plus.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
