Electrical Protection & Relay Engineers

Perform protection relay testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting for LV, MV and HV electrical systems. Test and configure numerical protection relays, including overcurrent, earth fault, differential, distance, under/over-voltage, frequency, and transformer protection. Review protection schemes, single-line diagrams (SLDs), wiring diagrams, logic diagrams, and protection settings. Develop, review, and verify relay settings and coordination studies. Carry out secondary injection testing using test equipment such as Omicron, Megger, or equivalent systems. Perform primary injection and functional testing where required. Conduct testing and commissioning of CTs, VTs/CVTs, circuit breakers, transformers, busbars, and associated protection systems. Verify relay logic, trip circuits, interlocks, alarms, annunciation, and breaker failure schemes. Identify and troubleshoot protection system faults and recommend corrective actions. Prepare test reports, commissioning reports, relay setting records, punch lists, and technical documentation. Ensure all testing and commissioning activities are performed in accordance with applicable IEC/IEEE standards, client specifications, and project requirements. Coordinate with clients, consultants, EPC contractors, site teams, and other disciplines during testing and commissioning. Ensure strict compliance with HSE requirements, permit-to-work procedures, and electrical safety standards. Support site activities for Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Industrial, Utility, and Electrical Power projects. Requirements Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. 38 years of relevant experience in electrical protection, relay testing, commissioning, and power system projects. Strong hands-on experience with numerical protection relays and protection schemes. Experience with relay testing equipment such as OMICRON CMC, Megger, Doble, or equivalent Knowledge of IEC/IEEE standards and protection coordination principles. Experience with major relay manufacturers such as Siemens, ABB/Hitachi Energy, Schneider Electric, SEL, GE, or equivalent. Ability to interpret electrical drawings, SLDs, schematics, wiring diagrams, and relay logic. Experience in MV/HV substations, switchgear, transformers, generators, and industrial power distribution systems. Knowledge of power system analysis/protection software such as ETAP, EasyPower, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, or equivalent is an advantage. Strong troubleshooting, analytical, reporting, and communication skills. Willingness to travel to project sites within Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE) registration is preferred/required as applicable.
