From Life Sciences to Energy, Automation to Manufacturing, Aviation, Defense, Automotive, Rail and Transportation, to Information Systems and Telecommunications, our unwavering commitment to excellence is shaping the future of technology and industry.

Project Context

The Electrical & Instrumentation Control (E&IC) Engineer will lead the design of electrical and instrumentation systems for modular skids, ensuring compliance with industry standards and project requirements. This role involves hands-on design work, from power distribution and component selection to control system integration, in a regulated, project-driven environment.

Day-to-Day Activities :

Electrical Design:

Design power layouts, cable trays, and conduit routing within compact skid frames.
Select components such as junction boxes, circuit breakers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and motor control centers (MCCs).
Specify explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, or non-incendive equipment for skids handling flammable fluids (Class I Div 1/Div 2 or ATEX zones).

Instrumentation:

Select sensors (transmitters, switches) for process variables like pressure, temperature, flow, and level.
Ensure instruments fit within tight piping constraints of modular skids.
Develop Instrument Index sheets, datasheets, and hook-up drawings.

Control Systems:

Specify automation hardware such as Remote I/O panels, PLCs, or DCS interfaces.
Design marshalling panels where skid instruments terminate before connecting to the main plant’s control room.
Translate Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) into actionable control logic.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Electrical/I&C design from concept through detailed design.
Prepare and review Electrical Wiring Diagrams (EWDs), Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs), Cable Block Diagrams (CBDs), General Arrangements (GAs), specifications, and other design documents.
Perform independent technical reviews and review vendor designs.
Provide technical expertise in instrumentation, controls, and electrical power systems.
Prepare technical reports, proposals, and client-facing documentation.
Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
Mentor junior staff and support the improvement of engineering practices.

Candidate Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/I&C Engineering or equivalent.
5+ years of relevant Electrical/I&C design experience.
Experience in regulated, project-driven environments.
Ability to interpret P&IDs, select equipment/instruments, and develop Electrical/I&C designs.
Proficiency with SolidWorks Electrical, AutoCAD Electrical, and/or EPLAN.
Strong vendor, multidisciplinary-team, and technical communication skills.
Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities and deadlines.
