Key Focus Areas Include
- Define early‑stage assessments of electrical scope, feasibility, system architecture, and major equipment concepts (HV/LV switchgear, rotating machines, UPS, protection systems), ensuring designs meet safety, reliability and compliance expectations for a Top Tier COMAH site and support long‑term asset performance.
- Ensure that engineering contractors and OEMs deliver compliant, robust electrical designs aligned with refinery engineering standards, statutory requirements (e.g., DSEAR, ATEX), and recognised industry best practice. Drive strong interface management between design, vendors, and site engineering authorities.
- Review and validate electrical design deliverables, including single‑line diagrams, load studies, protection coordination schemes, equipment specifications, electrical models, and hazardous area design documentation, ensuring all outputs are technically sound and appropriately verified.
- Provide technical oversight during construction and installation, ensuring contractors adhere to electrical safety rules, permit systems, test and inspection procedures, and installation standards. Review and approve method statements, commissioning plans, and pre‑energisation checks to guarantee safe transition into commissioning and eventual handover to operations.
- Support project risk and hazard studies, including HAZOP, HAZID, LOPA, and constructability reviews, ensuring electrical engineering risks are identified early and appropriately mitigated through design or procedural controls.
- Act as a senior electrical authority, becoming a site Registered Project Electrical Engineer and providing authoritative guidance on electrical safety, design compliance, switching and isolation philosophies, and equipment acceptance criteria.
- Mentor and support less‑experienced engineers, providing technical direction on electrical design quality, construction standards, energisation readiness, engineering assurance processes, and safe working practices in hazardous environments.
- Maintain and enhance electrical knowledge management systems, ensuring technical documentation, engineering standards, lessons learned, and project records are accurately maintained, accessible, and aligned with continuous improvement objectives.
