Summary

Responsibilities

• Install and commission electrical control systems (ECS) across substations, RTUs, and remote panels. 
• Implement and test control logic for feeder interlocks, transformer switching, and protection coordination. 
• Interface ECS with SCADA and automation systems using industry-standard protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC 61850). 
• Validate panel wiring, terminal connections, interposing relays, and command feedback circuits. 
• Conduct functional testing of ECS panels and associated I/O. 
• Coordinate with protection, SCADA, and commissioning teams for end-to-end validation. 
• Ensure ECS implementation aligns with SLDs, logic diagrams, and control philosophies. 
• Maintain redline drawings and prepare as-built control wiring schematics and docu- mentation. 
• Troubleshoot ECS issues during commissioning and energization. 
• Comply with Schneider Electric quality, safety, and documentation standards 

Education and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Control, or Automation Engineering. 

Preferred Additional Qualifications 

• Experience with Schneider Electric ECS platforms or RTUs. 
• Previous experience on large-scale energy or oil & gas infrastructure projects. 
• Fluency in English; Swahili or French is a plus. 

Requirements

• 4–6 years of experience in control system integration and commissioning.

Industry Exposure 

• Experience in utility, oil & gas, or industrial EPC projects involving substation automation and electrical control systems.

• Familiarity with PLC programming platforms 
• Wiring and terminal verification tools 
• Microsoft Office for documentation and reporting 

Characteristics

Technical Skills 

• Strong knowledge of substation electrical control systems and logic sequences. 
• Understanding of interlocking, trip/close circuits, and operational safety mechanisms. 
• Experience with remote I/O systems and control panel testing. 
• Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC 61850, hardwired sig- nals). 
• Competence in interpreting electrical drawings, logic diagrams, and wiring schedules. 

Personal Attributes 

• Detail-oriented and practical in field environments. 
• Strong coordination with multidisciplinary teams. 
• Problem-solver with a proactive approach during commissioning.

• Quality of control documentation and as-builts 
• Interface success with protection and SCADA systems

Work Conditions 

• Site-based across EACOP project substations and facilities. 
• Requires full PPE and work under live or near-live equipment conditions. 
• Involves close coordination with other field engineers and subcontractors. 
• May require extended hours during functional testing and energizat
