Project & Service Engineer (Electrical & Instrumentation)
Summary
Onboard ships to install, troubleshoot, and commission electrical, automation, and instrumentation systems, including retrofits for energy efficiency and decarbonization compliance.
- Attend vessels for surveys, inspections, installation support, commissioning and troubleshooting of electrical, automation and instrumentation systems.
- Support marine electrical retrofit projects, including:
- Electrical load analysis and load balancing
- Protection coordination and breaker selectivity studies
- Integration of upgraded or modified power systems
- Perform troubleshooting of shipboard control, monitoring and alarm systems, including PLC based systems.
- Supports project related to energy efficiency and emission reduction, including:
- Power Management System (PMS) interfacing and optimization
- Energy monitoring, data acquisition and alarm management systems
- Participate in electrification / hybrid ready projects, such as: UPS and battery system interfaces and monitoring and alarm integration (no battery design responsibility)
- Coordinate effectively with other disciplines (mechanical, piping, shipyard teams) with interface awareness.
- Support project execution through proper documentation, reporting and communication with managers, superintendents and vessel crew.
