The opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join Beca’s site-based Engineering Support Services team in Gresik.

The Electrical Engineer will support electrical investigations, design activities, plant modifications and technical queries within an operating industrial facility. The role will work closely with PT Freeport Indonesia’s site team, Beca’s multidisciplinary engineering team, contractors and equipment suppliers to develop safe, practical and coordinated electrical solutions.

The position requires a balance of electrical design capability, field-engineering experience and the ability to work effectively with both technical and operational stakeholders.

Key responsibilities

• Investigate electrical-system issues and define the technical requirements for plant modifications and improvement works.
• Prepare and review electrical calculations, design criteria, specifications, datasheets and technical reports.
• Develop and review single-line diagrams, electrical layouts, cable schedules, load lists and equipment schedules.
• Support the selection and specification of electrical equipment and systems.
• Assess interfaces with existing electrical infrastructure and identify requirements for connection, isolation and modification.
• Participate in site inspections, condition assessments and field-verification activities.
• Review existing electrical drawings, equipment data and site information.
• Coordinate electrical designs with process, mechanical, piping, instrumentation, civil and structural disciplines.
• Review supplier and contractor submissions for technical compliance with the approved design requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, risk reviews and constructability assessments.
• Respond to technical queries and requests for information arising during construction or implementation.
• Provide engineering support for testing, commissioning and handover activities when required.
• Assist the Electrical Designer with the development and checking of electrical drawings and documentation.
• Maintain records of calculations, assumptions, technical decisions and changes.
• Apply applicable electrical standards, Beca quality procedures and site health, safety and environmental requirements.

About you

You will be a practical and collaborative Electrical Engineer with strong industrial engineering experience and the confidence to work directly with site stakeholders.

You will ideally have:

• A bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Approximately five or more years of relevant electrical-engineering experience.
• Experience in industrial, mining, minerals processing, smelting, manufacturing, power or comparable heavy-industrial environments.
• Demonstrated experience with industrial power-distribution and electrical equipment.
• Experience preparing and reviewing electrical calculations, specifications, datasheets, single-line diagrams and equipment schedules.
• An understanding of low- and medium-voltage systems, protection, earthing, cables, switchgear, motor control and industrial electrical installations.
• Experience investigating existing plant systems and developing electrical modifications for brownfield facilities.
• The ability to interpret existing drawings and verify actual site conditions.
• Familiarity with relevant Indonesian and internationally recognised electrical codes and standards.
• Experience coordinating electrical work with instrumentation, control, mechanical and process disciplines.
• Strong technical writing, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in Bahasa Indonesia and English.
• Willingness and availability to work full-time at the project site in Gresik.

Experience supporting construction, shutdown planning, testing or commissioning activities would be advantageous. The example site role similarly emphasises site inspections, contractor coordination, RFIs, quality verification and safe working practices.
