If you are passionate about electrical engineering, enjoy solving complex technical challenges, and want to contribute to the development of cutting-edge offshore technology, we would like to hear from you.

As Lead Engineer Electrical & Power Management, you will:

• Ensure Enhanced Drilling's electrical and power systems are safe, reliable, compliant, and highly available throughout their lifecycle.
• Define robust protection philosophies and power integrity principles.
• Drive standardization across electrical architectures, components, and documentation.
• Define monitoring and acceptance requirements to ensure systems meet operational and regulatory requirements.
• Lead continuous improvement and development initiatives within the electrical discipline.

• Define requirements for safe and predictable electrical operation, including normal operation, alarms, and safe states.
• Establish principles for electrical event alarming, including actionable alarms and prioritization.

• Define health and performance monitoring requirements for critical electrical assets, including thermal indicators, insulation monitoring where relevant, power quality trends, and load profiles.
• Define electrical failure and downtime taxonomy to enable meaningful analytics and continuous improvement.

• Define protection philosophies, including selectivity and coordination principles, redundancy strategies, and handling of power disturbances.
• Define grounding and earthing principles and establish robustness requirements, including EMC resilience where applicable.

Establish and maintain standards for:

• Electrical architecture principles and documentation packages.
• Component standardization, including UPS systems, VFDs, transformers, and protection relays.
• Documentation consistency across product lines.

• Define maintenance philosophies and requirements for testing, inspection, preventive maintenance (PM), and condition-based maintenance (CBM).
• Define requirements within the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), including electrical asset structures, task templates, and failure codes.

• Define requirements related to national and international electrical standards and regulations, including ABS, DNV, ATEX, and IECEx requirements.
• Ensure compliance requirements are reflected in company standards, design rules, and acceptance criteria.

• Lead continuous development initiatives within the electrical discipline to improve operability, availability, and robustness.
• Drive development activities to meet future functional requirements.
• Validate new developments through qualification activities and operational performance.
• Lead or contribute to root cause analyses (RCAs) for electrical failures, trips, and degradation events, ensuring lessons learned are implemented in standards and design practices.

• BSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related discipline (MSc preferred).
• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience within electrical engineering and power systems.
• Strong knowledge of power distribution systems, protection philosophies, VFDs, transformers, and Ex compliance.
• Broad multidisciplinary understanding of rotating equipment, process systems, control systems, and instrumentation.
• Knowledge of relevant offshore and subsea regulations and standards.
• Understanding of drilling processes and subsea equipment is considered an advantage.
• Understanding of well control principles is considered an advantage.
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Team-oriented, collaborative, and inclusive mindset.
• Proactive, structured, and results-driven.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Flexible and adaptable in a dynamic environment.
