Lead Electrical and Instrumentation Designer (Engineering)

As the Lead Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Designer, you will be responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of electrical and instrumentation systems for offshore marine projects. Leading a team of E&I designers, you will ensure the development of detailed designs, specifications, and documentation while adhering to industry standards, safety regulations, and project requirements. This role requires strong technical expertise in offshore E&I design, project management skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams in a dynamic marine environment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team of electrical and instrumentation designers in the development of offshore marine E&I designs, including power distribution, control systems, instrumentation, and safety systems.
• Review project specifications, engineering drawings, and technical documents to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards, codes, and regulations.
• Develop detailed electrical and instrumentation drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams using CAD software, ensuring alignment with project requirements and client expectations.
• Coordinate with other engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, structural, and piping, to integrate E&I systems into marine facility designs.
• Conduct feasibility studies and risk assessments to optimize E&I designs, considering factors such as equipment specifications, operational requirements, and safety standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior E&I designers and engineers, fostering their professional development and ensuring the quality of deliverables.
• Liaise with clients, contractors, and vendors to clarify design requirements, resolve technical issues, and ensure alignment with project objectives and timelines.
• Participate in project meetings, design reviews, and site inspections to communicate progress, identify challenges, and propose solutions to project stakeholders.
• Collaborate with procurement and supply chain teams to source E&I materials, equipment, and components, ensuring timely delivery and compliance with project specifications.
• Ensure adherence to company policies, industry regulations, and safety standards in all aspects of E&I design and project execution.
