Candidates from power generation, marine, automation, oil & gas, electrical systems and other complex engineering environments are welcome to apply.

Job Responsibilities

• Develop and coordinate mechanical and/or electrical engineering solutions for major power generation and infrastructure projects.
• Review customer specifications, tender documents and technical requirements to establish appropriate engineering solutions and scope of supply.
• Work closely with Sales, customers, factories, suppliers and contractors to align project requirements and technical deliverables.
• Develop and review electrical, automation and/or mechanical system requirements for packaged power generation systems and equipment enclosures.
• Prepare, review and approve engineering documents including drawings, schematics, P&IDs, datasheets, wiring diagrams and system layouts.
• Perform engineering calculations and technical evaluations to verify design suitability, equipment sizing and system performance.
• Ensure engineering solutions comply with applicable project specifications, industry standards, codes and regulatory requirements.
• Define equipment requirements, coordinate procurement specifications and support purchase requisition activities.
• Provide technical troubleshooting and engineering support throughout project execution, installation, testing and commissioning.
• Coordinate with site teams and relevant stakeholders during installation, testing and Integrated Systems Testing activities.
• Work with suppliers and contractors on technical proposals, equipment selection, scope alignment and supplier development.
• Participate in design reviews, lessons learned and continuous improvement initiatives to improve project delivery, technical performance and cost effectiveness.

Who Should Apply

• Experienced Mechanical, Electrical or Mechatronics Engineers from power generation, marine/shipping, automation, oil & gas, electrical systems or other project-based engineering environments.
• Engineers who enjoy a combination of technical problem-solving, documentation, customer coordination, supplier management and site execution, rather than purely desk-based design work.
• Candidates without direct diesel genset experience may still be considered if they possess strong engineering fundamentals, relevant project execution exposure and a proactive attitude.
  

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Approximately 5 years or more of relevant engineering/project execution experience preferred.
• Experience supporting complex mechanical, electrical, automation or electro-mechanical systems.
• Strong understanding of either electrical or mechanical systems, with willingness and ability to work across both disciplines.
• Exposure to systems such as generators, engines, switchgear, automation, protection, cooling, ventilation, fuel systems or packaged equipment will be advantageous.
• Comfortable reviewing and developing technical drawings, schematics, P&IDs, wiring diagrams, system layouts and technical datasheets.
• Able to perform or understand relevant engineering calculations, equipment sizing and technical evaluations.
• Experience coordinating with customers, suppliers, contractors and internal project stakeholders.
• Exposure to equipment installation, testing, commissioning or site execution is advantageous.
• Experience within data centre, power generation or critical infrastructure projects will be advantageous but is not mandatory.
• Proficiency in 2D and/or 3D CAD software.
• Strong communication, coordination and problem-solving skills with a proactive and collaborative working style.
