As an Engineer in the petrochemical sector, you play a leading role in the design, development and improvement of a plant and you work closely together on the largest projects. Together with a team of experts, you will provide efficient and sustainable solutions that meet the highest standards.
Responsibilities
* As an E&I Engineer, you will be responsible for managing electrical and instrumentation projects from concept to completion. You will act as the discipline lead for E&I within large-scale industrial investment projects (up to €30 million), working in close collaboration with the Project Manager, who retains overall project responsibility. This is not a design-only role — we are looking for an engineer who can technically lead and coordinate the E&I scope within multidisciplinary projects.
* Independently lead the electrical and instrumentation (E&I) discipline from A to Z, from feasibility studies through to commissioning and handover.
* Make technical decisions regarding materials and applications based on environmental conditions.
* Collaborate closely with internal project teams (mechanical, site, design), the Project Manager, and external partners.
* Interpret and assess electrical schematics and cable calculations, including those made in Caneco, and provide solutions where needed.
* Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations in all relevant project phases.
* Support projects related to process installations (e.g. anole battery-related projects).
* Work from the transformer level, focusing mainly on low voltage with basic knowledge of high voltage.
* Prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track project planning and milestones.
* Provide accurate interpretation of SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
* Occasional (exceptional) travel within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.
Requirements
* Master's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent through experience, with a minimum of 7 years of relevant experience.
* Strong knowledge of both electrical systems and industrial instrumentation is essential.
* Experience in project work within an industrial setting.
* Ability to interpret (but not necessarily design) electrical schematics (EPLAN).
* Familiarity with Caneco for cable calculations and the ability to interpret its outputs.
* Solid understanding and practical experience with ATEX guidelines and compliance.
* Proven ability to interpret SIL/PL/Exi safety calculations.
* Independent, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset.
* Basic understanding of hardware and automation (no programming required).
* Willingness to travel occasionally abroad.
