Job Description:

As an Electrical Engineer at bp, you will provide electrical expertise for the Tangguh LNG generation and distribution network, supporting system integrity, power-management integration, reliability and brownfield development.

What you will deliver

Standard accountabilities:

• Provide timely frontline engineering support for normal operations, startup, shutdown, plant upset and equipment performance issues, with clear, documented recommendations.
• Apply risk management to identify, assess, communicate and reduce safety, integrity, reliability, production and cost risks. Participate in applicable risk assessments and hazard reviews and steward actions to closure.
• Lead or provide discipline expertise to incident investigations and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), including immediate-cause analysis where required. Convert findings into sustainable corrective actions.
• Own or support discipline equipment strategies. Use operating history, condition monitoring, failure data and reliability insights to develop, verify and optimize maintenance tasks, intervals and SAP PM build.
• Identify bad actors, vulnerabilities, obsolescence and single-point failures and develop prioritized defect-elimination and life-cycle solutions.
• Provide technical assurance for Management of Change, brownfield modifications, equipment replacement and project deliverables. Ensure decisions and deviations are risk assessed, justified and documented.
• Provide discipline input to turnaround, outage and site project modification scoping and execution, including technical scope definition, prioritization, workpack readiness, field execution support, commissioning/startup support and post-event learning.
• Monitor equipment, system or process health and convert data into actionable insights for Operations, Maintenance, Reliability and leadership.
• Maintain fit-for-purpose engineering records, calculations, drawings, strategies and technical reports in accordance with applicable standards.
• Coach engineers and technicians, share lessons and good practices, and strengthen engineering capability and continuous improvement.

Role-specific accountabilities:

• Provide support for steam-turbine generators, transformers, substations, switchgear, electrical distribution and Power Management System/SCADA.
• Assure power-generation control philosophy, electrical protection, system studies and plant integration.
• Steward critical systems including EDGs, UPS and emergency distribution and support hazardous-area equipment integrity and act as the barrier owner for the ignition prevention system and emergency system response (electrical supporting systems).
• Use ETAP and appropriate studies for system performance, protection and modification requirements.
• Focal point in electrical vulnerability assessment, identification of single point failure based on failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis.

What you will need to be successful

In addition to a Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Power Engineering, it is essential that the successful candidate also demonstrates:

• Minimum 10 years of electrical engineering experience in oil and gas, engineering consultancy or EPC; LNG/O&G O&M exposure strongly preferred.
• Proficient electrical knowledge and developed instrumentation and control knowledge.
• Familiar and conversant with ETAP for power system analysis, including harmonic analysis and system stability study.
• Hands-on experience in power system management and power generation operating mode & philosophy.
• Strong fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience in electrical installation and design in hazardous areas in compliance with IEC Ex/ATEX directives.
• Fundamental knowledge in electrical reliability, O&M and moderate to significant electrical RCFA exposure.
• Experience in plant support, upset/trip troubleshooting, immediate-cause analysis, power-management systems, generation control and protection.
• Exposure to live-plant brownfield modifications and tie-ins; strong communication, ownership and delivery focus.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to have:

• Membership in relevant professional engineering institution.
