• Coordinate closely with other engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, piping, and hook-up, to ensure alignment and successful execution of required engineering works.
• Review the subcontractor's execution of the technical scope of work, including all engineering deliverables, to ensure strict compliance with project requirements and established standards.
• Plan, detail, and meticulously review all technical documentation pertaining to topside systems, with a particular emphasis on E&IC and telecommunication systems.
• Confirm the accuracy and completeness of critical project milestones, including the issuance of Issued For Construction (IFC) drawings, technical reviews, and inputs for overall Engineering, Readiness & Operational Reviews.
• Gain a thorough understanding of project and client expectations, and actively gather applicable past lessons learned to enhance project execution.
• Provide essential support in the investigation and resolution of technical issues encountered during both the design and execution phases of the project.
• Conduct regular progress reviews, providing constructive feedback to maintain project timelines, ensure high quality, and optimize cost-efficiency, guaranteeing the timely submission of all engineering deliverables. This includes, but is not limited to, site survey reports, Smart 3D models, detailed design documents, and material selection reports.
• Contribute specialist skills, integrity, and knowledge in key areas of discipline engineering, encompassing design codes, legislative requirements, and current good engineering practices.
• Actively participate in project review meetings, vendor meetings, and engineering meetings organized by other disciplines.
• Ensure all relevant safety objectives and legal requirements are rigorously observed throughout the project lifecycle.
• Recognize and accept Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) roles and responsibilities as defined by Subsea7's HSE Role and Responsibility matrix.
• Support various internal engineering improvement initiatives, which may include developing tools, guidelines, and templates.
• Develop training materials and supervise trainees and junior members of the engineering team.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• More than 10 years of relevant experience is required, with over 12 years specifically in detailed engineering for offshore oil and gas brownfield modifications for Aramco Projects.
• In-depth knowledge of Saudi Aramco standards (SAES, SAEP), relevant industry codes, and established engineering best practices.
• Demonstrated experience in Saudi Aramco projects, including familiarity with MSEARs and their design requirements.
• Proven experience in offshore projects, encompassing both greenfield and brownfield environments.
• Extensive experience with Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV) electrical equipment and distribution systems, including proficiency in equipment sizing calculations.
• Familiarity with power system automation and its integration with third-party systems.
• Hands-on experience with ETAP studies, including load flow, short circuit, relay coordination, and harmonic analysis.
• Solid experience in electrical protection systems.
• Experience in synchronization with both grid and generators.
• Exposure to Saudi Aramco design review processes and familiarity with various stakeholders involved.
• Exposure to HAZID, HAZOP, and other safety studies.
• Experience with SPEL, 3D modeling, and constructability reviews.
• Experience in Material Take-Off (MTO) for electrical and bulk items.
• Experience in grounding design for offshore platforms.
• Experience in procurement engineering, including Request for Quotation (RFQ), Technical Bid Evaluation (TBE), and Purchase Requisition (PR) processes.
• Experience in vendor package management.
