EIC Discipline Lead – Electrical, Instrumentation & Control Engineering

About the Role

Join us as an EIC Discipline Lead to build, lead, and manage a high‑performing Electrical, Instrumentation, and Control (EIC) engineering team within a Global Capability Center (GCC) . You will be responsible for delivering all EIC engineering deliverables across Pre‑Basic, Basic, and Detail Engineering phases.

This role requires deep domain expertise in electrical power systems , high voltage & low voltage distribution , instrumentation engineering , process control , functional safety , automation systems , and 3D modelling workflows .

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and global stakeholders to ensure high‑quality design, compliance with international codes, and seamless execution of engineering work packages.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Development

• Build, lead, and mentor a team of EIC Engineers within the GCC.
• Manage resource allocation, workload distribution, and capability development.
• Promote a culture of safety, quality, engineering excellence , and continuous improvement.

EIC Engineering Execution

Oversee and guide the delivery of key EIC tasks, including:

• Design and integration of HV/LV electrical systems , instrumentation systems , DCS/PLC control systems, and shop floor automation .
• Review and approval of engineering deliverables such as drawings, specifications, datasheets, cable schedules, load lists, and calculations .
• Lead 3D electrical modelling , including cable tray routing, automatic cable routing, cabinet placement, and instrument location modeling.
• Ensure EIC engineering is aligned with process, mechanical, piping, HVAC, CSA, and layout disciplines.

Project Interface & Communication

• Act as the primary contact for all EIC engineering topics for internal and global stakeholders.
• Collaborate with multi‑discipline leads to ensure interface alignment and coordinated project delivery.
• Support procurement, vendor evaluations, technical bid analysis, and FAT/SAT activities for EIC equipment & instruments.

Quality, Standards & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with global and international codes/standards (IEC, EN, NEC, GB, etc.).
• Ensure quality control, verification, and document management of all EIC deliverables.
• Provide technical support during construction, installation, commissioning , and troubleshooting phases.
• Drive standardization, harmonization, and optimization of EIC engineering processes.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Education
