• Review and interpret project specifications, engineering codes, and standards to ensure compliance during
all phases of the design and manufacturing process.
• Issue technical documents and drawing packages for the manufacture of products.
• Provide engineering and technical support to Internal (Sales, Production, Purchasing, and Quality
departments) and external clients.
• Participate in client meetings, kick-off meetings, design review meetings, operation meetings
• Ensure that all electrical control panels meet regulatory requirements, industry best practices, and internal
quality standards.
• Control Panel Design.
• Design and specify industrial control panels compliant with UL 508A, CSA C22.2, and NFPA 79 standards.
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, I/O lists, and BOMs using CAD tools (AutoCAD
Electrical, SEE Electrical, EPLAN).
• Select and size electrical components (breakers, contactors, PLCs, VFDs, safety relays, etc.) for process
equipment.
• Collaborate with manufacturing for panel build, conduct FAT, and support documentation control.
• Automation and Programming.
• Develop PLC programs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, etc.) and HMI applications to control industrial
systems.
• Implement control logic for process sequences, alarms, interlocks, and safety shutdown systems.
• Configure industrial networks including EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, etc.
• Integrate VFDs, soft starters, instrumentation (RTDs, thermocouples, pressure/flow transmitters), and
actuators.

Site Installation & Commissioning
• Participate in on-site commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting of control systems and automation
equipment.
• Verify wiring, perform I/O checks, test interlocks, and validate control sequences against functional
requirements.
• Provide technical support during site acceptance testing (SAT) and customer handover.
• IoT / IIoT Integration.
• Integrate control systems with edge devices, gateways, and cloud platforms for real-time data access and
analytics.

• Enable remote monitoring, data logging, and performance dashboards using IIoT tools (e.g., MQTT, OPC
UA, REST APIs).
• Collaborate with software teams on Industry 4.0 initiatives, predictive maintenance, and digital twin
development.
• Ensure data security and connectivity reliability in OT/IT convergence environments.

Project Documentation & Support
• Create detailed control narratives, sequence of operations (SoO), and user manuals.
• Support cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, field service) during the full project lifecycle.
• Provide post-commissioning support, troubleshooting, and system optimization remotely or on-site.

Safety
• Ensure a safe workplace, including compliance with established safety laws, regulations, codes, policies, and
procedures.

Education and Qualifications
