• Leading the power supply engineering department and ensuring project implementation according to design and quality standards.

  
  

• Proposing power supply solutions that prioritize performance and reliability.

  
  

• Performing basic and detailed engineering activities, including electrical architectures, technical specifications, and interface specifications.

  
  

• Managing supplier evaluations, technical purchasing specifications, and factory acceptance tests.

  
  

• Providing technical support during construction, testing, and commissioning phases.

  
  

• Defining and performing verification and validation (V&V) strategies in collaboration with engineering, certification, and validation teams.

  
  

• Resolving technical issues on-site and ensuring timely problem closure.

  
  

• Providing inputs for as-built documentation and incorporating lessons learned into reference solutions.

  
  

• Coordinating with internal teams, customers, suppliers, and partners to ensure seamless project execution.

• Experience with drafting software such as AutoCAD or DraftSight.

  
  

• Knowledge of electrical power equipment specifications, including MVSGs, transformers, LV panels, cables, UPSs, and generators.

  
  

• Basic understanding of automation and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC61850, Ethernet IP).
