Lead Electrical Engineer

**Job Description**:
As a Lead Electrical Engineer for FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading), you will be responsible for providing technical leadership and expertise in the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems onboard FPSO vessels. You will lead a team of electrical engineers and technicians, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of electrical equipment and systems in compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Your role will involve overseeing electrical design, integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities to support FPSO operations and project execution.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead and manage a team of electrical engineers and technicians involved in the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems onboard FPSO vessels.
- Plan, coordinate, and oversee electrical engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle, including conceptual design, detailed engineering, construction, and commissioning phases.
- Develop electrical specifications, drawings, and technical documents in accordance with project requirements, class society rules, and regulatory standards (e.g., ABS, DNVGL).
- Review and approve electrical design deliverables, including single-line diagrams, schematics, equipment layouts, cable schedules, and equipment specifications.
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines, project managers, and vendors to ensure the successful integration of electrical systems with overall FPSO design and project objectives.
- Conduct technical reviews, risk assessments, and feasibility studies for electrical engineering projects, identifying opportunities for optimization and improvement.
- Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices for electrical safety, performance, and reliability.
- Provide technical support and guidance during procurement activities, including specification of electrical equipment and materials, vendor evaluation, and bid review.
- Lead commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting activities for electrical systems and equipment onboard FPSO vessels, ensuring adherence to project specifications and quality standards.
- Monitor and analyze electrical system performance, reliability, and efficiency, identifying opportunities for optimization, maintenance, and upgrades to support FPSO operations.

**Requirements**:

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. A Master's degree or professional certification (e.g., PE license) is preferred.
- Proven experience (8+ years) in electrical engineering, with a focus on marine and offshore projects, particularly FPSO vessels.
- Strong technical knowledge and expertise in electrical engineering principles, practices, and standards, including marine electrical systems, power distribution, and hazardous area classification.
- Familiarity with class society rules (e.g., ABS, DNVGL), regulatory requirements (e.g., IMO, SOLAS), and industry standards applicable to FPSO electrical systems.
- Proficiency in electrical design software and tools, such as AutoCAD, ETAP, EPLAN, or equivalent programs, for schematic design, calculations, and analysis.
- Experience leading and managing multidisciplinary engineering teams, with demonstrated leadership abilities and effective communication skills.
- In-depth understanding of electrical safety practices, hazard analysis, and risk assessment methodologies applicable to marine and offshore environments.
- Ability to work effectively in a dynamic and challenging offshore environment, with a strong commitment to safety, quality, and environmental protection.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams, clients, contractors, and regulatory authorities.
