Job Title: I&C / Electrical Control & Protection Engineer Industry: Electric Power Generation Department: Power Systems – After Sales Services Travel Requirement: Required Location: Dubai Employment Type: Full-time Salary: AED 13,000 – 16,000 (all-inclusive) Benefits: Employment Visa, Medical Insurance, Annual Leave, Annual Air Ticket. Experience: Approximately 7–10 years of relevant experience in power generation electrical and control systems. Experience with large turbo generators at combined-cycle, gas turbine, or steam turbine plants Job Summary: One of our client is looking for an experienced, hands-on I&C / Electrical Engineer specializing in turbo-generator electrical control, excitation, and protection systems. The role covers technical support, troubleshooting, inspection, maintenance, testing, commissioning, and modernisation at power generation facilities, including multi-OEM equipment. Key Responsibilities: AVR & Excitation Systems: • Inspect, maintain, test, troubleshoot, and commission Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) and static/brushless excitation systems. • Diagnose voltage regulation, field flashing, and excitation control issues; support retrofit and modernisation projects. Static Frequency Converter (SFC) Systems: • Inspect, troubleshoot, maintain and commission SFC systems used for gas turbine starting. • Diagnose converter, inverter, thyristor, control-interface and related electrical protection faults. Generator Protection Systems: • Test, commission and troubleshoot numerical generator protection relays. • Work with functions including 87G, 64G, 40, 32, 50/51, 59/27; review settings, perform secondary injection tests and analyse faults. Control Panels & Auxiliary Systems: • Maintain generator control, synchronization, monitoring and auxiliary panels; troubleshoot PLC logic, alarms, interlocks and DCS interfaces. • Support generator circuit breaker (GCB), synchronization and associated auxiliary electrical systems. Field Services & Technical Support: • Perform site inspections, troubleshooting, testing and commissioning during generator overhauls, rehabilitation and retrofit projects. • Interpret wiring diagrams, electrical drawings and control logic; prepare technical reports and root-cause analyses. • Coordinate with customers, OEM engineering teams, and field personnel across the region. Requirement: • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Control Engineering, or a related discipline. • Approximately 7–10 years of relevant experience in power generation electrical and control systems. • Strong hands-on experience with turbo-generator AVR/excitation, generator protection and/or SFC systems. • Ability to troubleshoot complex systems independently; familiarity with testing and relay commissioning equipment. • Good English technical communication, reporting skills, and willingness to travel frequently. Preferred Background: • Experience with large turbo generators at combined-cycle, gas turbine, or steam turbine plants. • Demonstrated involvement in AVR upgrades, excitation modernisation, SFC commissioning, and generator protection retrofits. • Field-service and commissioning experience preferred over purely design-based experience.
