Introduction

  • To represent the client during the electrical energization phase of the project, ensuring all energization activities are planned, executed, and documented in compliance with project specifications, safety standards, and statutory requirements.
  • The role involves close coordination with EPC contractors, OEMs, and client operations to achieve safe and timely energization of electrical systems.

What are you going to do 

  • Pre-Energization
    • Review and approve energization plans, method statements, switching schedules, and risk assessments submitted by contractors.
    • Verify that all pre-energization checks, inspections, and test records (IRs, continuity, insulation resistance, functional tests) are complete and accepted.
    • Ensure all lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures and permit-to-work (PTW) systems are in place and strictly enforced.
    • Confirm readiness of protection systems, interlocks, and emergency shutdown features.
    • Witness and approve site acceptance tests (SATs) prior to energization.
  • Energization Execution
    • Oversee energization activities on behalf of the client to ensure compliance with the approved procedures.
    • Coordinate with the contractor’s electrical and commissioning teams to manage sequencing and minimize system downtime.
    • Monitor and verify correct switching operations, breaker racking, voltage application, and load testing.
    • Act as the client’s on-site authority to stop work in the event of unsafe conditions or non-compliance.
  • Post-Energization
    • Verify system stability, protection relay operation, and correct load distribution post-energization.
    • Review and sign off energization records, as-built drawings, and redline mark-ups.
    • Ensure all commissioning data and test reports are submitted for project turnover.
    • Participate in troubleshooting and resolution of any electrical issues arising during start-up.
  • Interface & Coordination
    • Liaise with EPC contractor(s), OEM representatives, and client’s operations team to coordinate energization activities.
    • Communicate progress, risks, and deviations to the client’s project management team in real time.
    • Support integration of electrical systems into the overall plant commissioning schedule.
  • Safety & Compliance
    • Ensure energization works comply with:
      • Project specifications
      • IEC, IEEE, NEC, NFPA 70E, or relevant standards
      • Local electrical codes and statutory requirements
    • Promote a strong safety culture; enforce use of PPE and adherence to electrical safety procedures.
    • Participate in incident investigations and root cause analysis if required.

Essential skills and knowledge 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
  • 8+ years in electrical commissioning, energization, and start-up on large industrial projects (oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, heavy industry).
  • Proven track record in high-voltage (HV) and medium-voltage (MV) switchgear MCC, Transformers and distribution boards.
  • Strong understanding of protection coordination, earthing systems, and electrical safety.
  • Client-side or owner’s engineer experience is an advantage.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams, protection schemes, and commissioning plans.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills to direct contractor activities on site.
  • Analytical problem-solving for troubleshooting electrical systems.
  • High level of attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
  • Strong level in executing the energization of electrical systems, including Switchgear, Transformers, MCC’s, Distribution Panels and Control Systems
