Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer

Key Responsibilities System Design: Design and develop electrical and instrumentation systems, including power distribution, control panels, and instrumentation loops (e.g., DCS, PLC, SCADA), in compliance with Malaysian standards (e.g., SIRIM, MS IEC) and international codes (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ISA). Project Execution: Oversee the installation, configuration, and commissioning of E&I systems, ensuring alignment with project specifications, timelines, and budgets. Testing and Calibration: Perform testing, calibration, and troubleshooting of electrical equipment (e.g., motors, switchgear) and instrumentation devices (e.g., transmitters, control valves) to ensure operational accuracy and reliability. Maintenance and Support: Conduct preventive and corrective maintenance of E&I systems to minimize downtime and enhance system performance. Provide technical support for system upgrades and retrofits. Compliance: Ensure all E&I systems adhere to Malaysian regulations (e.g., DOSH, Energy Commission, TNB requirements) and industry standards (e.g., IEC 61511, IEEE 519). Prepare and maintain documentation, including wiring diagrams, loop drawings, and compliance reports. Technical Consultancy: Provide expert advice on electrical and instrumentation solutions to clients, project teams, and stakeholders to optimize system performance and safety. Collaboration: Work closely with process engineers, mechanical engineers, and project managers to integrate E&I systems into overall project designs and operations. Safety Management: Enforce strict adherence to Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) regulations, CIDB Green Card requirements, and project-specific HSE policies. Conduct risk assessments for electrical and instrumentation activities. Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve system efficiency, reliability, and safety through innovative technologies (e.g., smart sensors, energy-efficient designs). Qualifications Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, or a related field from a recognized institution. A Diploma with significant relevant experience may be considered. Experience: At least 3-7 years of experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering, preferably in Malaysia’s oil and gas, petrochemical, or manufacturing sectors. Experience with government or Petronas projects is an advantage. Certifications: Registration as a Graduate Engineer with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) or Professional Engineer (Ir.) is preferred. Certifications in PLC/DCS programming (e.g., Siemens, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation) or Functional Safety (e.g., TÜV, ISA84) are highly desirable. CIDB Green Card, DOSH-approved safety training, or Competency Certificate from the Energy Commission (e.g., Chargeman or Wireman) is a plus. Technical Skills: Proficiency in design and simulation tools (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, InTools). Strong knowledge of Malaysian standards (e.g., MS IEC, TNB guidelines) and international standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ISA). Familiarity with electrical systems (e.g., LV/MV switchgear, transformers) and instrumentation (e.g., HART, Modbus, Foundation Fieldbus). Experience with power system analysis, load calculations, and hazardous area classifications (e.g., ATEX, IECEx). Soft Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and teamwork abilities. Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines under pressure.
