• Minimum 5 years of experience in electrical maintenance, power systems, or industrial plant environments.

• Strong understanding of electrical power systems, including LV (400V & 690V), MV, and HV systems (6.6kV, 11kV, 35kV, and 150kV), power distribution, switchgear, protection relays, transformers, and generators.

• Knowledge of grid synchronization, load flow analysis, and power factor correction.

• Working knowledge of plant electrical equipment, including motors (induction and synchronous), VFDs, soft starters, MCCs, lighting systems, earthing/grounding systems, UPS, and diesel generator (DG) systems.

• Familiarity with automation and control systems such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and HMI used in industrial operations.

• Understanding of instrumentation and process control integration in manufacturing and power systems.

• Knowledge of preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance techniques, including thermography, insulation resistance testing, and vibration analysis.

• Understanding of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) principles and electrical asset reliability management.

• Knowledge of power generation systems, including boilers, turbines, and auxiliary systems.

• Understanding of pulp and paper production processes and the role of electrical systems in ensuring operational continuity.

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills in electrical system diagnostics.

• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, and technical manuals.

• Good communication and teamwork abilities with cross-functional coordination.

• Awareness of HSE standards, electrical safety regulations, and industrial risk management.

• Physically fit and able to work in industrial environments, including hazardous areas.

• Willingness to work at heights and in confined spaces when required.

• Demonstrated commitment to safety, reliability, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure electrical systems operate reliably to support stable plant operations and production continuity.

• Monitor performance of motors, transformers, MCCs, MV switchgear, and VFD systems to detect early signs of failure or abnormal conditions.

• Collaborate with production operators and maintenance teams to investigate process alarms, MCC/VFD trips, and system abnormalities.

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve preventive maintenance plans for critical electrical equipment.

• Execute and manage SAP-based preventive maintenance schedules, ensuring timely completion and accurate documentation.

• Perform condition monitoring and health checks on motors, transformers, MCCs, MV switchgear, and VFD systems.

• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for electrical failures and recommend permanent corrective actions.

• Support breakdown maintenance activities and work closely with Electrical Technicians during failures, shutdowns, and emergency situations.

• Ensure fast restoration of electrical systems to minimize downtime and production losses.

• Verify protection relay settings in accordance with maintenance schedules and regulatory requirements.

• Utilize power quality analyzer tools to assess and ensure system power quality.

• Maintain and update as-built drawings for VFDs, MCCs, and MV switchgear systems.

• Ensure compliance of electrical systems with safety standards, especially in hazardous operating environments.

• Test and validate Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems.

• Participate in internal and external audits, including ISO, HSE, and compliance audits.

• Plan and execute electrical scope for planned shutdowns, including short shutdowns and annual turnarounds.

• Coordinate procurement of spare parts, calibration tools, and contractor support services.

• Manage spare parts inventory to ensure availability for maintenance and emergency repairs.

• Read and interpret technical manuals and engineering documentation to support operational activities.

• Develop and socialize work instructions and maintenance procedures to support operational teams.
