Context
As part of industrial projects in demanding environments, the Industrial Electrical Designer is involved in the design, analysis, and updating of electrical installations for industrial sites.
They contribute to electrical studies from on-site surveys through to the production of complete technical documentation, in compliance with current standards and the specific constraints of industrial and ATEX zones.
Main Responsibilities
-
Carry out on-site surveys and analysis of electrical cabinets, panels, and units.
-
Establish power balance calculations and analyze the electrical requirements of installations.
-
Produce single-line diagrams for power and lighting systems.
-
Design complete electrical installations: process systems, distribution, lighting, and earthing/grounding (MALT).
-
Size electrical protections, define their settings, and determine associated cable cross-sections.
-
Research, interpret, and apply applicable electrical standards, particularly NF C 15-100.
-
Integrate safety requirements and protection methods, especially in ATEX zones.
-
Prepare pre- and post-work documentation, including power balances, single-line diagrams, connection synoptics, and overhead and underground routing layouts.
-
Produce troubleshooting drawings, terminal block diagrams, and related technical documents.
-
Design plans for distribution boards, main low-voltage switchboards (TGBT), LV panels with withdrawable drawers, as well as detailed bills of materials, based on supplier standards.
-
Carry out studies and drawings related to electrical heat tracing in ATEX zones.
-
Draft electrical specifications.
-
Update technical documentation according to changes and corrective actions.
-
Define, select, and requisition electrical equipment.
-
Verify the technical compliance of proposed or delivered equipment.
-
Provide internal reporting and participate in technical meetings and clarification phases.
-
Contribute to coordination with other disciplines: instrumentation, civil engineering, and process.
