Lead Engineer - Systems Engineering

Job Description Summary

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed.

Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.

Responsible for the technical delivery of service, upgrade and retrofit engineering projects across industrial, marine, offshore and naval sectors. Activities span the full project lifecycle from initial technical support and system assessment through detailed engineering, testing, commissioning and customer handover.

Provides engineering expertise for the modernisation, replacement and integration of legacy and current drive, control and automation systems. Supports customers in identifying upgrade solutions for obsolete equipment and delivers technically robust, cost-effective engineering outcomes.

Manages engineering requirements, specifications and technical deliverables associated with assigned projects and work packages. Responsible for ensuring solutions meet customer requirements, technical standards, quality expectations and project schedules.

Executes engineering activities including system design, configuration, testing, fault-finding, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning and post-installation support.
