Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineering Governance & Standards

• Define and maintain electrical engineering standards, safety protocols, and maintenance governance as part of the enterprise asset‑management framework.

• Approve electrical maintenance procedures, testing requirements, isolation protocols, and technical documentation.

• Ensure compliance with Class rules, Flag State regulations, API/IEC standards, and hazardous area (EX) requirements.

Electrical System Reliability & Advanced Troubleshooting

• Lead high-level diagnostics and failure investigations for generators, power‑generation systems, switchboards, Motor Control Centers (MCCs), transformers, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and distribution networks.

• Guide rig electricians through complex and high‑risk troubleshooting, load restoration, and protection‑system interventions.

• Validate RCA findings and ensure corrective actions address underlying electrical failure modes and protection failures.

Electrical Maintenance Strategy & Execution Assurance

• Review and enhance PM strategies, testing intervals, and verification routines for electrical safety‑critical equipment and protection systems.

• Validate CMMS job plans, protection-setting requirements, and maintenance workflows for accuracy and completeness.

• Ensure maintenance execution adheres to electrical safety standards and supports reliability, uptime, and certification compliance.

Electrical Safety, Audit & Compliance

• Conduct safety audits covering grounding/bonding, insulation resistance, hazardous‑area equipment, protection relay testing, and emergency power systems.

• Verify certification status, EX registers, and testing records in line with Class and regulatory requirements.

• Identify electrical non‑conformities, assess risk, and recommend mitigation actions to Head of Maintenance/ senior technical leadership.

Electrical Projects, Upgrades & Commissioning

• Provide subject‑matter expertise for electrical upgrades, generator replacements, VFD installations, and switchboard modernizations.

• Review engineering deliverables, project scopes, single‑line diagrams, and FAT/SAT procedures.

• Approve protection settings, electrical integration plans, load‑impact studies, and verify all electrical changes under the Management of Change (MOC) process.

Critical Spares, Obsolescence & Reliability Engineering

• Assess and review critical spare inventories, obsolescence risks, and long‑lead electrical components with Supply Chain/ Procurement and Planning.

• Monitor electrical reliability KPIs, trip/fault events, breaker performance, and system anomalies.

• Recommend lifecycle upgrades, redundancy improvements, and fleetwide electrical reliability enhancements.

Documentation, Reporting & Data Integrity

• Maintain up‑to‑date electrical single‑line diagrams, load calculations, hazardous-area (EX) registers, and electrical certification files.

• Issue detailed audit findings, incident analyses, and electrical integrity reports.

• Ensure CMMS electrical asset data remains accurate, complete, and aligned with maintenance governance and configuration control.
