Electrical Protection Engineer

Overview

We are looking for experienced Electrical Protection Engineers to join our team, primarily to work on customer sites including NG-SEC facilities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. These engineers must come with verified expertise in protection relay testing, commissioning, configuring, troubleshooting, and testing of medium and low voltage switchgears. Holding a valid NG C1 Permit Receiver Authorization is required, alongside the ability to operate independently with strict adherence to safety, quality, and technical standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct tests, commissioning processes, configuration, and troubleshooting of electrical protection relays.
• Perform validation and testing for Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) switchgear systems.
• Execute testing on Current Transformers (CTs) and Voltage Transformers (VTs).
• Carry out protection relay functionality tests and verifications.
• Conduct timing tests on circuit breakers to verify operations.
• Inspect and validate electrical interlocking schemes and protection control circuitry.
• Identify faults, analyze problems, and apply corrective solutions effectively.
• Create detailed test reports, commissioning documents, and technical records.
• Work autonomously on-site, maintaining effective collaboration with clients and technical teams.

Technical Requirements

Protection Relay Testing: Practical knowledge of Siemens SIPROTEC 5 and 4, Reyrolle protection relays is essential. Experience with other major manufacturers such as ABB, GE, Schneider Electric, and SEL is highly valued.

Medium-Voltage Switchgear Testing: Experience with CT, VT, PR testing, circuit breaker timing tests, and interlocking validation in medium-voltage switchgear environments.

Low-Voltage Switchgear Testing: Proficiency in low-voltage switchgear inspections, CT and VT testing, protection relay verification, electrical scheme validation, and troubleshooting tasks.

Qualifications and Experience

• At least 5 years of specialized experience in protection engineering, electrical testing, and commissioning roles.
• Possession of a valid NG C1 Permit Receiver Authorization.
• Demonstrated hands-on expertise with protection relays and MV & LV switchgear testing protocols.
• Strong interpersonal skills for communication and coordination.
• Capability to function independently at customer sites, especially at NG-SEC locations.
• Advanced troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Dedicated adherence to electrical safety and quality standards.
