• Oversee the design, procurement, installation, and commissioning of electrical systems, such as power distribution, control systems, lighting, motors, and instrumentation.
• Work with major electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), motor control centers (MCC), and power transformers to ensure the plant's electrical infrastructure is reliable and robust.
• Implement and commission automation systems including  DCS, PLC, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and remote monitoring systems to ensure efficient plant operation and real-time data acquisition.
• Collaborate with mechanical, civil, and instrumentation teams to integrate electrical systems effectively within the plant design.
• Supervise the electrical team during the installation and commissioning phases, ensuring technical direction and resolving electrical issues promptly.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards, environmental regulations, and electrical codes during the installation and commissioning of electrical systems.
• Review and develop detailed technical specifications, electrical designs, and schedules for electrical works related to the coal washery plant.
• Coordinate with contractors, suppliers, and vendors to ensure the timely delivery of electrical components and systems.
• Monitor project progress, track the installation of electrical systems, and resolve any issues that arise during the commissioning phase.
• Perform troubleshooting and optimization of electrical systems to ensure plant reliability, efficiency, and safety.
• Oversee the preparation of electrical documentation, including system drawings, commissioning reports, and operational manuals.
• Ensure that electrical commissioning activities meet the project scope, timeline, and cost estimates, ensuring full operational readiness of the plant.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 12+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on coal washery plants or similar large-scale industrial processing plants.
• Proven experience in the design, installation, erection, and commissioning of electrical systems for coal washery or similar plants, ideally with a capacity of 3+ MTPA.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, including power distribution, control systems, instrumentation, motors, and electrical protection systems used in coal processing.
• Proficiency in electrical design software and project management tools.
• Knowledge and hands-on experience with automation systems such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and remote monitoring solutions to optimize plant operations.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
• Ability to work in high-pressure environments and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Familiarity with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards for electrical systems in industrial plants.

Desired Skills:

• Experience managing electrical systems in large-scale coal washery plants.
• Expertise in motor control systems, AC and DC motor drives, variable frequency drives (VFDs), soft starters, and other major electrical equipment.
• Knowledge of modern electrical technologies, automation, and control systems used in coal processing plants.
• Expertise in troubleshooting, optimization, and maintenance of electrical systems for large-scale industrial plants.
• Familiarity with the integration of electrical systems with other plant operations and equipment.
