Job Title: Design Engineer (SCS & Telecom)

Requirement – 1 No.

Qualifications & Requirements:

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics, Telecommunications, or Electrical Engineering.

Experience: 5 to 7+ years of experience in an EPC environment, specifically handling SCS and Telecom design for utility substations up to the 400kV level.

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of gateway data mapping, IEC 61850 protocols, and standard telecommunication practices for the power sector. Familiarity with local utility network standards is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

Substation Control Systems (SCS):

• Design, configure, and modify SCS architectures for high-voltage substations up to 400kV.
• Integrate Bay Control Units (BCUs) and ensure all critical substation alarms, controls, and status signals are accurately mapped to the National Control Center (NCC) and Emergency NCC (ENCC).
• Support End-to-End testing between the substation and the control centers to verify reliable data transmission.

Telecommunication & Fiber Optics:

• Plan the routing, termination, and splicing of Fiber Optic networks, including 48-fiber approach cables and Optical Ground Wires (OPGW).
• Coordinate and oversee Fiber Optic End-to-End testing between different substations to ensure robust communication links.
• Design structured cabling systems to support IP telephony and secure communications across the substation buildings.

System Integration & Upgrades:

• Knowledge of multi-vendor control systems (including Siemens, ABB, Areva, and GE) to upgrade existing substations without disrupting live grid operations.
• Integrate advanced monitoring networks, such as Digital Fault Recording Systems (DFRS) and online Dissolved Gas Analyzers (DGA) for transformers.
• Configure secure network routers and firewalls to connect local substation data safely to central monitoring servers.

Vendor Coordination & Documentation:

• Review and assess vendor drawings, technical submittals, and equipment manuals to ensure they strictly align with the project's design intent and utility specifications.
• Coordinate technical clarifications directly with relay and equipment manufacturers to resolve design discrepancies before manufacturing and delivery.
