The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering, a deep understanding of marine systems, and a proven track record of designing and commissioning complex electrical systems for marine vessels. This role will involve working on cutting-edge technologies to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of propulsion and control systems for various types of marine vessels.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Electrical Design:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define electrical system requirements, specifications, and design criteria for marine vessel propulsion and control systems.
• Develop detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts using industry-standard design tools.
• Select appropriate electrical components, equipment, and materials to ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and performance standards.
• Design and implement control logic, automation, and monitoring systems for propulsion and manoeuvring.

2. Commissioning and Integration:

• Oversee the installation, integration, and testing of electrical systems on marine vessels during construction or retrofit projects.
• Conduct thorough testing, troubleshooting, and validation of electrical systems to ensure proper functionality and adherence to design specifications.
• Collaborate with shipyard personnel and subcontractors to ensure proper installation and alignment of propulsion and control components.
• Coordinate with project managers to establish commissioning schedules, manage resources, and ensure timely project completion.

3. System Optimization and Performance Enhancement:

• Analyse and evaluate the performance of propulsion and control systems, identifying opportunities for optimization, efficiency improvement, and performance enhancement.
• Work closely with the research and development team to implement innovative technologies and solutions to address emerging challenges in marine propulsion and control.

4. Documentation and Reporting:

• Create comprehensive technical documentation, including operation manuals, maintenance guides, and as-built drawings for electrical systems.
• Generate commissioning reports, test procedures, and status updates for internal teams, project stakeholders, and clients.

5. Regulatory Compliance and Safety:

• Ensure that all designed and commissioned electrical systems comply with relevant maritime regulations, industry standards, and safety guidelines.
• Collaborate with regulatory bodies and classification societies to obtain necessary approvals and certifications for electrical systems.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Proven experience (5+ years) in electrical design and commissioning, preferably in marine propulsion and control systems.
• Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN) and simulation tools.
• Strong knowledge of marine electrical systems, power distribution, propulsion methods, and control strategies.
• Familiarity with marine industry standards (e.g., ABS, DNV, IMO) and relevant regulations.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex electrical issues.
• Effective communication skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and presenting technical information to clients and stakeholders.
• Project management skills with the ability to manage priorities, timelines, and resources effectively.
• Willingness to travel to shipyards and vessels for commissioning activities.
• Willingness to travel overseas as required.
• Positive with a can-do attitude.
