Electrical Design Expert for Oil & Gas Projects
An experienced Senior Electrical Engineer is required to support multiple brownfield and greenfield projects for major oil & gas clients. The successful candidate will be involved in design-focused work across various project life cycles, particularly from FEED to FID stages.
Key Responsibilities:
* Deliver and review detailed electrical design deliverables across brownfield and greenfield scopes.
* Support a fast-paced project environment with multi-project responsibilities.
* Collaborate with internal and external engineering disciplines to produce electrical design packages including SLDS, schematics, cable schedules, termination diagrams, equipment layouts, and lighting/earthing designs.
* Conduct and review electrical calculations: load flow, fault level, arc flash, protection coordination, motor starting, etc.
* Ensure compliance with Australian standards and hazardous area classifications.
* Prepare procurement and construction documentation: datasheets, specifications, MTOs, ITPs, construction scopes.
* Perform inspections and witness FATs/SATs for electrical equipment.
* Provide technical input into electrical estimates and project execution schedules.
Must-Have Requirements:
* Bachelor's Degree (4-year) in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Power Engineering.
* Minimum 10 years' design experience in the resources, mining, or oil & gas sectors – utility project experience is beneficial.
* Strong background in engineering design through all project phases, especially FEED to FID.
* Recent experience on greenfield projects is essential.
* Exposure to shutdown planning and construction considerations for electrical design.
* Ability to work across multiple projects with strong time and stakeholder management.
* Proven capabilities in electrical equipment sizing, layouts, cable routing, lighting & earthing design, protection systems, relay settings, MCC/HV switchgear design, control system interfacing and instrumentation integration, creation and review of design drawings and technical documents, site scoping, inspections, and construction/commissioning support.
Desirable Qualifications:
* Familiarity with SmartPlant, AutoCAD, ETAP, SKM, PowerFactory, and relevant Australian electrical standards.
This role requires a high degree of autonomy and self-motivation, with a proven track record of delivering results in a fast-paced project environment. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
