Job Description & How to Apply Below
Some engineers design.
Some engineers supervise.
But only a few can bring a plant to life.
We’re looking for an Electrical Commissioning Engineer who doesn’t just tick boxes — but takes ownership of energisation, testing, fault-finding, and final handover.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Commissioning LV & MV electrical systems
- Testing switch gear, MCCs, protection relays, transformers
- Functional testing & verification
- FAT & SAT execution
- I/O verification and loop checks
- Working closely with automation, mechanical & project teams
- Client-facing commissioning & sign-off
- Troubleshooting under pressure (because site is never quiet)
- Electrical Engineering qualification (Diploma/Degree)
- Proven commissioning experience in industrial or plant environments
- Strong knowledge of protection systems & testing procedures
- Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings
- Willingness to travel / work on-site
- Calm under pressure. Detail-obsessed. Technically sharp.
- Experience in mining, water treatment, FMCG or heavy industry
- Knowledge of PLC/SCADA integration
- Protection relay configuration experience
If you’re the engineer who stays until the plant runs — we want to talk.
