Lead Electrical Plant Integration Engineer

Would you like to be a part of successful team?

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for passionate, curious, and innovation-oriented electrical engineers who embrace our ambitious mission to develop low-to-zero carbon power plant solutions and to drive plants electrification, by leveraging on our legacy background while investing in new competencies and technologies.

Partner with the best

As Lead Electrical Plant Integration Engineer within the Energy Management and Electrical Plant Integration CoE organization, you will be leading electrical engineering activities of highly challenging projects like liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, combined-cycle power plants, hybrid power plants (combining renewables and energy storage with conventional gas-fired generation), process or turbomachinery modular solutions, carbon-capture plants, and more under development.

Specifically, you will be accountable for the following key activities:

·       Performing electrical design activities aimed at sizing and specifying key electrical equipment at plant level, including LV / MV / HV equipment (e.g. MCC, switchgears, substations), LV / MV cables, transformers, e-houses / local electrical rooms, electrical protection systems, etc.

·       Performing or coordinating power system studies to ensure a satisfactory behaviour of the electrical network, including main equipment sizing validation through load flow and short-circuit analyses, transient stability studies, harmonics analyses, protection coordination, arc-flash studies, etc.

·       Performing a technical selection of all electrical items in the scope of supply (e.g., Electrical MV generators, Electrical MV motor, & DCP/MCC, Batteries etc.)

·       Specifying the motor / VFD sets for electric motor-driven compressor applications, in accordance with internal design practices and the project/customer technical specifications.

·       Verifying that the design proposed by the supplier(s) is compliant with technical specifications, drawings/documents exchanged and also participating in the technical meetings with Suppliers and customers.

·       Issuing technical purchase specifications for key electrical items, vendors technical alignment and coordination, design drawings follow-up

·       Managing technical documentation during the engineering development phase following up with supplier and customer up to finalization.

·       Carrying out engineering design reviews with suppliers and customers to ensure compliance with customer contractual specifications and project-applicable international technical regulations.

·       Taking delivery of the equipment by participating in the Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT).

·       Engaging in the troubleshooting and the root cause analysis of electrical systems malfunction during FAT or on-site, definition and implementation of short-term and long-term corrective actions, and evaluation of fleet impact.

·       Coordinating outsourcing engineering companies to balance workload flexibility while ensuring the highest quality standards.

·       Providing support to other project disciplines and project management

·       Participating in meetings with Customers / Suppliers as per project needs

To be successful in this role you will:

·       First be curious, open-minded and have and growth and innovation approach.

·       Have a master's degree in electrical engineering and minimum 5 to 7 years' experience

·       Have a work experience in industrial/power plant electrical design

·       Have expertise in projects-related activities as electrical engineer for plants equipment and knowledge of relevant international codes (mainly IEC / US standards)

·       Have a good expertise in power system studies of industrial/power plants (ETAP software preferably)

·       Have the ability to work with multi-disciplined cross-functional teams in a global matrix environment

·       Show excellent problem-solving, process improvement and analytical skills

·       Have good verbal and written skills, be fluent both in English and Italian and hold an EU passport

Differentiating background considered as a plus:

·       Experience in power generation applications (especially combined-cycles)

·       Experience in renewable energy applications (e.g. solar PV, wind), as well as MW-scale battery storage

·       Knowledge of Power / Energy Management System
