Syncon System Design Senior Professional

The Opportunity

Engineering authority in design and design studies for projects/tenders for Power Quality Solutions. Complete assignments on small projects portions of larger projects, cost-effectively and in accordance with contract specifications, quality standards, safety requirements and international standards. Based on technical specifications from end customers and inputs from OU Engineering team, define Topology of the solutions, perform system calculations, validate the equipment dimensions, specify the main equipment and involve in supplier co-ordination. Perform design studies such as harmonic performance, protection design, insulation co-ordination including lightning studies, loss evaluation and reliability study.

How You’ll Make An Impact
