As a Lead E&I Engineer, you are responsible for managing electrical and instrumentation projects from concept to delivery. You act as a technical leader for E&I within large-scale, multidisciplinary industrial investment projects (up to €30 million) and work closely with the project manager. This is not a purely design-oriented role, but focuses on technical leadership and coordination within multidisciplinary projects.
What you will do.
- Independently lead the electrical and instrumentation (E&I) discipline from A to Z, from feasibility studies to commissioning and handover.
- Make technical decisions regarding materials and applications, taking environmental factors into account.
- Collaborate closely with internal project teams and external partners.
- Interpret and assess electrical diagrams and cable calculations (also in Caneco) and propose solutions where necessary.
- Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations throughout all relevant project phases.
- Support projects related to process installations (e.g., battery-related projects).
- Work at transformer level, focusing on low voltage and basic knowledge of high voltage.
- Prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track planning and milestones.
- Correctly interpret SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
- Correctly interpret Exi calculations in the context of ATEX regulations.
- Be willing to travel occasionally within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.
