Junior Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Participate in UAV-enabled inspections of electrical transmission and substation assets using advanced sensors and cameras.
• Serve as a Visual Observer (VO) for drone operations, maintaining visual line of sight with the drone and communicating with the pilot to ensure safe flights
• Assist with sensor calibration, payload configuration, and real-time data collection in the field.
• Utilize computer software solutions to perform inspection data analysis and produce structured technical reports aligned with QA/QC procedures.
• Support the continuous improvement of inspection protocols and workflows based on internal findings, international best practices and international standards.
• Collaborate with internal teams on the development and refinement of custom software tools for inspection management and reporting.
• Contribute to the development of internal inspection workflows and preventative maintenance protocols.
• Assist in GIS-based data visualization, asset mapping, and the organization of digital inspection archives.
• Adhere to all safety protocols and operational standards in outdoor, high-voltage, or restricted environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant engineering discipline such as Telecommunications or Mechanical Engineering (with a demonstrated knowledge of power systems and electrical infrastructure principles.)
• 0-2 years of experience for junior-level candidates, or 3-5 years of experience for mid-level applicants, in field engineering, O&M, inspection, or infrastructure-related roles in the power sector.
• Strong computer literacy with proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Earth Pro, data file organization, and ability to quickly learn new digital tools.
• Clear and concise written and oral communication skills in English, with the ability to write technical reports and interpret engineering standards and technical documentation.
• Willing and able to perform fieldwork in remote or outdoor environments, including during hot or varied weather conditions.
• High awareness of safety procedures and ability to operate within regulated or high-voltage areas.

• Strong interest in electrical infrastructure, asset reliability, and structured inspection programs.
• Eagerness to learn and grow within a technology-driven inspection and innovation team, with the ability to adapt to evolving protocols.
