- Ensure compliance with IEEE, IEC, NEC, ISO, HSE, and regional grid code requirements.
- Manage complete project programs, including deliverables, risk, schedule, and readiness.
- Prepare site execution and commissioning plans.
- Lead site teams during installation, power-up, and system energization.
- Perform and support commissioning of high-current excitation systems.
- Troubleshoot issues related to excitation controllers, power bridges, and auxiliary systems.
- Review and resolve installation or wiring deviations and site constraints.
- Modify logic, graphics, databases, parameters, and test configurations as required.
- Prepare customer-facing commissioning reports and handover documentation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Control & Instrumentation, or a related discipline.
- Eight (8) to sixteen (16) years of experience in generator excitation systems, power electronics, electrical panel engineering, or related power generation applications.
- Proven experience in designing excitation system electrical and mechanical layouts for medium- to high-current applications (5,000 A to 10,000 A range).
- Ability to size and select excitation system components.
- Ability to read, interpret, and develop electrical schematics, general arrangement drawings, wiring diagrams, BOMs, technical specifications, and test procedures.
- Working knowledge of bus work design, high-current power connections, thermal considerations, electrical clearances, and manufacturing practices.
- Understanding of manufacturing quality processes, including inspection, assembly verification, FAT documentation, nonconformance handling, and corrective action follow-up.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, teamwork, and stakeholder management skills.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities, interface with vendors and subcontractors, and support complete project execution.
- Familiarity with industry standards such as IEEE, IEC, NEC, ISO, OSHA, and applicable regional grid code requirements.
