• Diploma, Technical Certificate, or equivalent qualification in Electrical, Instrumentation, Electronics, or a related discipline.

• Minimum 2–5 years of hands-on experience in Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) maintenance, installation, commissioning, or troubleshooting within industrial, energy, manufacturing, or offshore environments.

• Demonstrated experience working with electrical distribution systems, MCCs, switchgear, control panels, motors, and field instrumentation.

• Ability to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and calibrate instrumentation devices including pressure, temperature, level, and flow instruments.

• Proficient in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, loop drawings, and technical documentation.

• Experience performing loop checks, functional testing, commissioning, and startup support activities.

• Competent in the use of electrical and instrumentation test equipment, including multimeters, insulation testers, calibrators, and loop testing equipment.

• Strong troubleshooting and fault-finding skills with the ability to work independently and efficiently under minimal supervision.

• Knowledge of permit-to-work systems, industrial safety procedures, and safe work practices.

• Previous offshore, shutdown, turnaround, or oil & gas experience is considered a strong asset.

• Excellent communication, teamwork, and reporting skills.

• Medically fit for industrial and offshore environments, including working at heights and in confined spaces.

• Valid offshore certifications (BOSIET, TBOSIET, HUET, or equivalent) and a valid offshore medical certificate are preferred or may be required depending on project scope.

• Perform preventive, corrective, and breakdown maintenance on electrical and instrumentation equipment.

• Troubleshoot and repair electrical circuits, control systems, instrumentation devices, and associated equipment.

• Install, terminate, test, and commission electrical and instrumentation systems, including field devices and control wiring.

• Carry out calibration, verification, and functional testing of instrumentation equipment such as pressure, temperature, level, and flow instruments.

• Perform loop checks, point-to-point testing, and system verification activities during commissioning and startup operations.

• Support maintenance and repair activities on MCCs, switchgear, UPS systems, motors, control panels, and associated electrical infrastructure.

• Diagnose equipment faults and implement corrective actions to minimize downtime and maintain operational reliability.

• Execute shutdown, turnaround, and maintenance campaign activities in accordance with project schedules and client requirements.

• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, loop drawings, and technical documentation.

• Complete inspections, testing records, calibration reports, and maintenance documentation accurately and in a timely manner.

• Ensure compliance with all safety requirements, permit-to-work systems, company procedures, and client standards.

• Participate in toolbox meetings, safety briefings, hazard identification activities, and incident prevention initiatives.

• Utilize electrical and instrumentation testing equipment safely and effectively to perform assigned tasks.

• Work collaboratively with supervisors, engineers, operations personnel, and other technicians to ensure safe and efficient project execution.

• Maintain good housekeeping standards and ensure work areas are left in a safe and orderly condition upon completion of tasks.(Suggested operational duty consistent with industrial maintenance roles; not explicitly stated in the referenced documents.)
