The successful candidate will be responsible for providing design and technical support to shipyard production teams, resolving electrical and instrumentation-related design issues, updating production drawings, and ensuring design accuracy, constructability, and compliance with project specifications and applicable marine standards. **JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:** - Provide construction and production support for Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) design activities in marine and shipbuilding projects. - Prepare, review, and revise E&I design deliverables, including: - Electrical equipment layout and arrangement drawings - Cable routing, cable tray, and cable ladder layouts - Cable schedules, cable termination drawings, and interconnection diagrams - Lighting and small power layouts - Electrical installation and equipment connection drawings - Instrument location and installation drawings - Instrument cable routing and hook-up drawings - Junction box layouts, termination diagrams, and instrument wiring drawings - Earthing and bonding layout drawings - Electrical and instrumentation equipment installation details - Production, fabrication, and installation drawings - 2D drawings and 3D models for E&I systems - Review shop drawings and production information to identify discrepancies and resolve E&I design-related issues. - Provide technical support to shipyard production teams for electrical and instrumentation installation, assembly, and construction activities. - Resolve technical queries (TQs), drawing discrepancies, cable routing conflicts, and installation-related design problems. - Incorporate engineering changes, production feedback, and redline mark-ups into drawings, cable schedules, and 3D models. - Coordinate with Hull Structure, Hull Outfitting, Machinery Outfitting, Piping, HVAC, and other engineering disciplines to ensure proper integration and avoid design clashes. - Verify cable routing, equipment locations, installation clearances, and interfaces with marine equipment and structural arrangements. - Review vendor drawings, equipment specifications, and technical documentation to ensure compatibility with project design requirements. - Ensure E&I design deliverables comply with project specifications, applicable marine standards, classification requirements, and shipyard construction practices. - Support constructability reviews and identify potential installation constraints before execution. - Maintain updated production drawings, cable schedules, design records, and technical documentation in accordance with project procedures. - Coordinate with engineering teams, equipment vendors, and production personnel to ensure timely resolution of design issues. - Support as-built drawing updates and incorporate final production modifications, where required. - Ensure design deliverables are completed within agreed project schedules and quality requirements. **KEY QUALIFICATIONS:** - Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline. - 5–10 years of relevant experience in Electrical & Instrumentation design within marine, shipbuilding, shipyard, offshore vessel, or related offshore engineering projects. - Hands-on experience in Construction Support (CS), shipyard production support, and production drawing modifications. - Strong experience in electrical and instrumentation layouts, cable routing, equipment installation, and associated production drawings. - Proficiency in marine 3D design software, preferably AVEVA Marine / Hull & Outfitting, or other shipbuilding CAD software accepted by the client. - Experience preparing and modifying 2D production drawings, 3D models, cable routing layouts, termination drawings, and installation details. - Good understanding of marine electrical systems, instrumentation installation, cable trays, cable glands, junction boxes, earthing, and bonding arrangements. - Ability to interpret electrical and instrumentation drawings, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, equipment specifications, vendor documentation, and production mark-ups. - Experience resolving technical queries and supporting shipyard production teams during electrical and instrumentation installation activities. - Familiarity with marine electrical standards, applicable IEC requirements, classification society rules, and project specifications. - Experience coordinating with Hull Structure, Hull Outfitting, Machinery Outfitting, Piping, HVAC, and other engineering disciplines. - Experience in new-build shipbuilding projects, offshore vessels, FPSOs, or similar marine engineering projects is preferred. - Exposure to international shipyards, marine EPC contractors, or multidisciplinary engineering environments is preferred. - Strong technical problem-solving, drawing interpretation, coordination, and communication skills. - Ability to work effectively in a project-driven engineering and shipyard production environment. **VERTICAL** **ENGINEERING**
