Construction Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Key responsibilities

• New Product Development: contribute to concept development, feasibility studies, trade-offs, prototyping support, and technology down-selection for new products.
• Electrical & C&I design: develop schematics, wiring/loop diagrams, single-line diagrams, interconnection/assembly drawings, and design notes.
• Requirements & compliance: interpret customer, internal, and applicable industry requirements; translate into design, verification, and documentation plans.
• Testing & troubleshooting: support integration, verification/qualification testing, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Supplier reach-out & collaboration: engage with suppliers/manufacturers for component selection, technical clarifications, quotations/lead-times, alternates/obsolescence mitigation, and sample/qualification support.
• Procurement specs: prepare technical specifications for purchasing electrical equipment/materials; support vendor document review where needed.
• Documentation: develop and maintain project deliverables such as functional design specifications, test procedures, commissioning/support documents, and O&M manuals.
• Sustaining engineering: support production issues, engineering change requests, design improvements, and product lifecycle updates.
• Cross-functional execution: collaborate with systems, mechanical, firmware/software, manufacturing, quality, and project stakeholders to meet schedule and quality targets.

Authorities

• Make day-to-day technical decisions within assigned scope; escalate safety/requirement gaps, design risks, and major trade-offs to the design/technical lead.
• Review and verify drawings/documents for technical correctness within delegated limits.
• Recommend component choices, supplier alternatives, test methods, and design improvements based on engineering judgment and standards.

Accountabilities

• On-time, accurate delivery of assigned NPD and sustaining electrical designs and documentation.
• Compliance with applicable standards, safety practices, and customer requirements (including hazardous area practices where applicable).
• Clear technical communication: design rationale, calculations/assumptions, test results, and issue tracking.
• Effective supplier and stakeholder coordination to reduce technical risk, lead-time risk, and obsolescence risk.
• Continuous learning and completion of required trainings; guide designers/technicians when assigned

Preferred candidate profile

• Bachelors degree (BE/BTech) in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Electrical & Instrumentation, Instrumentation & Control, or a closely related discipline.
• 4–5 years of relevant industry experience in electrical engineering

Required Technical Qualifications

• Strong fundamentals and hands-on capability in motor controls
• Solid experience in control & instrumentation circuit design
• Experience in electrical controls system for Hazardous area.
• Proficiency in producing and maintaining electrical design deliverables such as schematics, wiring diagrams, single-line diagrams (SLD), BOMs, and assembly-level documentation.
• Working knowledge of design verification/testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
• Familiarity with relevant electrical engineering standards and safe engineering practices; ability to work with customer specifications.

Leadership / team contribution

• Demonstrated interest in taking on technical leadership responsibilities, including planning and coordinating work for a small team (2–4 members).
• Ability to mentor junior engineers/designers, delegate tasks, and ensure timely completion of assigned deliverables.
• Comfortable leading technical discussions, driving closure of action items, and escalating risks/issues appropriately
• Excellent communication and collaboration with cross-functional teams and suppliers.

Tools (preferred)

• Experience with electrical CAD / schematic tools (any industry-standard tool); ability to work with drawing control practices.
• SAP/GEMS
• Good documentation skills (specs, test procedures, reports) and structured problem-solving.

Added advantages
