Power Generation Commissioning Engineer
The role involves upgrading and modifying various mechanical, electrical, and C&I systems in power generation units as part of a wider programme of works.
* Each unit is capable of generating up to 285MWe.
* This includes engineering, FAT, installation, commissioning, and interface works as part of scheduled outages in 2025 and 2026.
The generation units and common plant are monitored and operated with a hybrid of legacy (Controller level) and state-of-the-art (HMI level) OEM master control systems (SPPA-T2000/Omnivise-T3000).
The significant scope of work is on the legacy and obsolete Boiler Protection and BMS systems in each unit, which will be upgraded to the OEMs state-of-the-art technology, Omnivise-T3000.
The primary function of these systems is to ensure the safe control of the boiler combustion process using coal or oil, and to operate in a failsafe manner to bring the boiler and associated plant to a predetermined safe state by protection trip and shutdown if the process breaches protective limits.
As part of the overall works programme, there are various other mechanical and electrical works with C&I and plant interfaces, e.g., AVR upgrades, conversion from coal and HFO operation to HFO only, etc.
The successful candidate will act as a C&I Commissioning Engineer on these projects, providing technical expertise and coordination of interfaces with project teams and contractors, reporting to the Lead C&I Engineer or Project Manager(s) as required, and will provide C&I services during the design, construction, and commissioning processes.
Essential Requirements
Minimum of 5 years (post-qualification) relevant working experience in the power generation industry or a comparable industry.
* Significant competence with generating plant C&I systems and applications including DCS and PLC systems, HMI and control networks, field instrumentation and control devices, plant protection, safety systems and devices.
* Experience of power plant operations and maintenance technologies, systems, procedures, and practices.
* Demonstrated experience with design, engineering, and commissioning on large and/or complex C&I works/projects, with ability to work on own initiative, take ownership, and drive self and others to deliver objectives.
* Strong stakeholder management and project/scope coordination involving multiple business units, contractors, or third parties
