The posting

Avanceon is a leading global system integrator specializing in integrated control, instrumentation, and automation solutions. With decades of experience, we empower industries worldwide—including oil & gas, utilities, and manufacturing—to control, improve, and optimize their operational processes, driving efficiency and enhancing asset performance. We are committed to delivering state-of-the-art execution and engineering excellence.

The Senior Technical / Project Lead is a high-impact position responsible for providing end-to-end technical leadership and comprehensive execution oversight for complex, multi-disciplinary projects. The scope covers major technical domains including automation (PLC/SCADA, RTUs), electrical systems (MCC/VFD, power distribution), instrumentation, mechanical, and civil elements.

This role acts as the primary technical authority, ensuring all engineering deliverables, on-site execution, testing, and commissioning activities are completed strictly according to specifications, contractual obligations, and stringent international standards (IEC, NEC, ATEX, API).

Key Responsibilities

A. Technical Leadership & Compliance

  • Design Approval: Lead and guide engineering teams in reviewing and approving technical submittals, designs, and drawings across all project disciplines: automation, electrical, MCCs/VFDs, and I&C systems.

  • Testing & Commissioning: Manage and execute critical technical activities, including troubleshooting, loop checks, panel energization, motor run tests, and Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT)/Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
  • Risk Mitigation: Proactively monitor execution risks and develop and implement effective mitigation plans to protect critical schedule commitments.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensure the installation and commissioning of all systems strictly adhere to approved QA/QC plans.

C. Stakeholder Coordination

  • Technical Focal Point: Act as the main technical and execution focal point for critical external parties, including customers, consultants, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and subcontractors.
  • Interface Management: Lead technical meetings, interface discussions, site inspections, and compliance reviews for all electrical and automation systems.
  • Procurement Liaison: Coordinate closely with procurement and planning teams to guarantee the timely availability of long-lead items such as MCCs, VFDs, panels, instruments, and cables.

D. Documentation & Compliance

  • Deliverable Management: Ensure the timely preparation and finalization of crucial technical reports, test sheets, MCC/VFD configuration records, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and commissioning documents.
  • Governance: Guarantee strict adherence to all contractual requirements, site safety protocols, and internal project governance standards.

E. Team Leadership & Resource Management

  • Supervision & Mentorship: Supervise and mentor execution teams, including electrical supervisors, automation engineers, technicians, and fitters.
  • Resource Allocation: Manage and optimize manpower allocation across parallel workstreams to ensure maximum productivity and execution quality.
  • Culture: Promote a culture of technical rigor, safety discipline, and accountability within the execution team.
