• Coordinate with procurement teams, electrical and instrumentation engineers, equipment manufacturers, and suppliers to clarify technical requirements and resolve queries.
• Review vendor drawings, equipment datasheets, wiring diagrams, cable requirements, termination details, and installation documentation for compliance with project requirements.
• Verify equipment ratings, power requirements, voltage levels, protection ratings, hazardous area classifications, material specifications, and environmental suitability, where applicable.
• Ensure compatibility of procured E&I equipment with vessel arrangements, power distribution systems, control systems, cable routing, and other engineering interfaces.
• Support the preparation and review of purchase requisitions, material requisitions, technical specifications, and procurement packages.
• Review vendor deviations, technical exceptions, and proposed alternative equipment or materials and coordinate with the engineering team for technical assessment and approval.
• Monitor vendor document submissions and coordinate technical reviews to ensure timely approval and compliance with project schedules.
• Respond to technical queries from suppliers and procurement teams and coordinate with relevant engineering disciplines to resolve discrepancies.
• Ensure compliance with applicable marine classification society requirements, IEC standards, hazardous area requirements, project specifications, and client requirements.
• Maintain procurement engineering records, technical bid evaluation documents, vendor data, equipment registers, and related technical documentation.
• Support inspection, testing, and equipment delivery coordination by ensuring that technical and documentation requirements are fulfilled.
• Coordinate with Hull Structure, Machinery Outfitting, Piping, HVAC, and other engineering disciplines to address procurement-related technical issues and interface requirements.
• Support construction and production teams in resolving technical issues related to equipment suitability, installation requirements, cable interfaces, and vendor documentation.
• Ensure procurement engineering deliverables are completed within agreed project schedules and quality requirements.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
• 5–10 years of relevant experience in E&I procurement engineering, technical procurement support, or electrical and instrumentation engineering within marine, shipbuilding, shipyard, or offshore vessel projects.
• Hands-on experience supporting procurement of marine electrical and instrumentation equipment, materials, and associated components.
• Strong experience reviewing technical specifications, equipment datasheets, vendor quotations, technical proposals, and supplier documentation.
• Experience conducting technical bid evaluations (TBEs), preparing technical comparison sheets, and assessing supplier compliance against project requirements.
• Good understanding of marine electrical systems, power distribution, generators, transformers, switchboards, motors, lighting, cables, and instrumentation equipment.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, instrument datasheets, vendor drawings, and technical specifications.
• Experience coordinating with procurement teams, engineering disciplines, suppliers, and manufacturers to resolve technical queries and discrepancies.
• Familiarity with marine classification society requirements, applicable IEC standards, hazardous area requirements, and shipbuilding project specifications.
• Understanding of interfaces between electrical systems, instrumentation, control systems, machinery, piping, and other marine outfitting disciplines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience maintaining procurement documentation, vendor data registers, and technical evaluation records.
• Experience with marine engineering or shipbuilding design software, preferably AVEVA Marine / Hull & Outfitting or equivalent, is an advantage.
• Experience in new-build shipbuilding projects, offshore vessels, FPSOs, or similar marine engineering projects is preferred.
• Exposure to international shipyards, marine EPC contractors, or multidisciplinary engineering environments is preferred.
• Strong technical evaluation, analytical, documentation, coordination, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a project-driven engineering and procurement environment.
