Permanent | Hyrbid
Salary + Pension + Bonus + Progression
ENG Bauen have been engaged by a global industrial energy and technology organisation to identify a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their UK operations and provide specialist technical support to long-term facilities in Central Asia.
As this organisation expands its portfolio of hydrogen and industrial gas assets across the region, this role will play a key part in ensuring electrical reliability, operational integrity, and compliance across multiple complex process facilities. Operating within a global engineering function, you’ll act as the technical authority for electrical systems, providing support on design, operation, and maintenance of high- and low-voltage systems.
This is a critical opportunity for an experienced electrical professional with deep technical insight and hands-on operational experience to play a key role in maintaining the reliability and performance of large-scale industrial energy assets across the UK and Central Asia.
Key Responsibilities:
* Provide expert electrical engineering and operational support across multiple process industry facilities, ensuring reliability and safe operation of HV/LV systems.
* Lead troubleshooting and maintenance support for electrical assets including protection relays, switchgear, transformers, motors, UPS, VFDs, and PLC systems.
* Develop and implement electrical safety procedures in compliance with IEC, GOST, and ATEX standards.
* Conduct incident investigations and root cause analyses, defining corrective and preventive actions.
* Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to align electrical design and operation standards globally.
* Mentor on-site engineering and maintenance teams to strengthen technical capability.
* Undertake periodic travel to Central Asia (approx. 20%) to support on-site assessments and operational interventions.
Qualifications & Experience:
* Degree in Electrical Engineering (Chartered status advantageous).
* 15+ years’ experience in electrical engineering and maintenance support within process industries (industrial gases, petrochemical, or chemical).
* Deep knowledge of HV/LV distribution systems, protection systems, and condition-based monitoring.
* Practical experience in HV motor and transformer testing, protection relay secondary testing, and predictive maintenance.
* Proven understanding of electrical safety legislation and compliance frameworks (IEC, GOST, ATEX).
* Strong background in reliability-focused maintenance and RCA.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
* Willingness to travel internationally as part of a global operations support function.
