Principal Electrical Engineer - Central Engineering

We are looking for a talented and passionate internal electrical engineer to become part of our team.

This role will be within Central Engineering, focusing on Power Systems.

The chosen candidate will have the responsibility of aiding in the engineering of customized low-voltage and medium-voltage equipment.

The ideal candidate is well-versed in engineering of low-voltage and/or medium-voltage engineered-to-order (ETO) equipment, with strong experience in MV switchgear design, including air-insulated and preferably gas-insulated switchgear.

What will you do?


* Engage in strategy discussions alongside the sales, quotation, and project management teams for significant projects to formulate successful plans that meet project objectives and client needs.


* Examine all customer-supplied documents, including technical specifications, customer one-lines, and other materials, to develop effective and harmonized solutions provided by Schneider Electric.


* Conduct thorough order reviews to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project specifications, technical requirements, and company standards.


* Create all engineering documents-including drawings, one-lines, foundation drawings, wire lists, and bills of material-for customer approval.


* Take full ownership and responsibility for managing and processing large electrical projects without constant supervision, ensuring coordination, timely completion, and high-quality execution.


* Coordinate with plant engineering teams for smoother project execution.


* Coordinate and support production issues for timely delivery to the customer.


* Provide technical leadership on medium-voltage switchgear designs, with emphasis on air-insulated (AIS) and preferable familiarity with gas-insulated (GIS) switchgear architectures, protection schemes, and application considerations.
