• Integrate Switchgear Condition Monitoring solutions into AIS/GIS projects, ensuring compatibility with project drawings and site interfaces.
• Review customer single-line diagrams (SLDs) and technical specifications, participate in design reviews, and manage documentation revisions (For Approval, For Construction, As-Built).
• Develop comprehensive installation, commissioning, and field wiring documentation.
• Apply digital substation practices, configuring communication protocols such as IEC 61850, Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, and OPC UA; size and verify AC/DC power distribution and thermal performance of panels; support Factory/Site Acceptance Tests (FAT/SAT), commissioning, and “As-Built” data updates.
• Collaborate closely with Quality (PPM) to ensure compliance with standards, and with Marketing & Sales for updates on deliverables as required.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related technical discipline.
• 1–3 years of relevant experience in electrical engineering for industrial or utility projects; motivated graduates with strong technical skills are welcome.
• Knowledge of high voltage systems and substation automation concepts, with familiarity in IEC 61850 and other communication protocols as a plus.
• Ability to read and produce electrical schematics and layouts, with basic knowledge of thermal and electrical load calculations.
• Proficiency in MS Office and AutoCAD; experience with engineering tools such as database management and SAP is an advantage.
• Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken), Category B driving license, valid passport for EU travel, and willingness to travel up to 30%.
