Employment Type: Full-Time
Advert Code: EPT-003 | Maintenance – Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I)

Position Purpose / Job Brief

• The Electrical Plant Technician is responsible for the planned preventive maintenance, corrective repair, and continuous reliability improvement of all electrical systems within the power plant.
• This includes generators, alternators, MV/LV switchgear, protection relay systems, control and automation systems, power cables, UPS/battery banks, and all instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment.
• The role directly safeguards plant electrical availability and personnel safety.

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Execute preventive maintenance (PM) on all electrical equipment in strict compliance with OEM specifications, planned maintenance schedules, and CMMS work orders.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair electrical faults including generator excitation faults, protection relay misoperations, switchgear defects, PLC/SCADA input-output failures, and cable faults.
• Perform MV and LV switching operations in accordance with authorized switching programmes and valid PTW.
• Calibrate, test, and verify all safety-critical instruments, sensors, and actuators (pressure, temperature, flow, level) per calibration schedules, issuing calibration certificates upon completion.
• Conduct regular testing and maintenance of protection relays (ANSI 87, 51, 27, 59, 81) and generator protection systems using primary/secondary injection test equipment.
• Perform routine inspection, load testing, and capacity verification of UPS systems and battery banks; maintain 100% readiness records.
• Troubleshoot and maintain PLC-based control systems (Siemens, ABB, or equivalent), HMI interfaces, and SCADA field devices.
• Maintain accurate and updated electrical single-line diagrams (SLDs), protection settings registers, and maintenance records in the CMMS.
• Manage critical electrical spare parts inventory; initiate requisitions for replenishment to maintain defined minimum stock levels.
• Participate in major outages, overhauls, and plant modification/commissioning activities.
• Conduct or support root cause analysis (RCA) of electrical failures and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Enforce full compliance with LV/MV electrical safety standards, LOTO protocols, and PTW requirements at all times.

Academic & Professional Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Automation/Instrumentation Engineering.
• Minimum of five (5) years of hands-on electrical maintenance experience in a power generation environment (diesel, gas, or HFO).
• Demonstrated proficiency in PLC troubleshooting (Siemens S7/TIA Portal, ABB, or equivalent) and SCADA/HMI systems.
• Practical experience in MV switchgear maintenance, protection relay testing, and generator protection systems.
• Certified competence in LV/MV electrical safety and switching (City & Guilds, NICEIC, or relevant national equivalent).
• Familiarity with IEC and IEEE standards applicable to power plant electrical systems.
• CMMS proficiency (SAP PM, Maximo, or equivalent) is required.

Core Competency:

• Technical Precision:
  • Meticulous execution of electrical work with high accuracy on safety-critical systems.
• Systematic Troubleshooting:
  • Structured, logic-driven approach to fault finding across complex multi-system electrical faults.
• Safety Consciousness:
  • Unwavering personal adherence to electrical safety procedures, LOTO, and PTW—zero shortcuts.
• Documentation Discipline:
  • Timely, accurate updating of calibration certificates, test records, and CMMS work orders.
• Problem-Solving Under Pressure:
  • Rapid fault diagnosis and repair capability to minimize electrical downtime during plant outages.
• Continuous Improvement Mindset:
  • Proactive identification of reliability improvement opportunities and defect elimination initiatives.
