  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior electrical engineers and designers, fostering their professional development and ensuring adherence to best practices.
  • Collaborate with project managers and other stakeholders to develop project scopes, schedules, and budgets, and monitor progress against key milestones.
  • Interface with clients, regulatory agencies, and third-party contractors to address technical inquiries, resolve engineering issues, and obtain necessary approvals.
  • Participate in safety reviews, including electrical hazard assessments and arc flash studies, to identify and mitigate potential hazards associated with decommissioning activities.
  • Conduct feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses to evaluate alternative electrical system designs and recommend optimal solutions.
  • Support procurement activities by reviewing vendor proposals, participating in technical evaluations, and ensuring compliance with project specifications.
  • Foster a culture of safety, quality, and environmental stewardship, ensuring that all electrical engineering activities are conducted in accordance with company policies and procedures.


QUALIFICATIONS

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certification preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in electrical engineering roles, with a focus on offshore oil and gas projects.
  • Proven expertise in electrical design, analysis, and optimization of offshore production facilities, including power distribution systems, lighting systems, and instrumentation and control systems.
  • Proficiency in electrical engineering software tools, such as ETAP, SKM PowerTools, and AutoCAD Electrical, for electrical system design and analysis.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to effectively lead and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities, with a focus on delivering innovative and practical engineering solutions.
  • Familiarity with industry regulations and standards governing offshore decommissioning activities, including API, NEC, and NEMA requirements.
