• Act as the primary shore-based technical focal point for electrical, electronic, automation and control systems across the assigned offshore fleet.
• Provide timely remote troubleshooting support to Masters, Chief Engineers and vessel ETOs for breakdowns, alarms and recurring electrical faults, including guidance for safe isolation, recovery and escalation.
• Attend vessels as required for fault finding, inspections, planned maintenance, testing, commissioning and restoration of critical equipment.
• Review vessel defect lists, PMS work orders, critical alarms and outstanding technical issues; prioritize actions based on safety, operational risk and vessel availability.
• Coordinate with vessel teams and Fleet Management to ensure electrical defects are closed with clear technical records and sustainable corrective actions.

• Provide technical oversight of generators, HV/LV distribution, switchboards, transformers, protection systems, UPS and battery systems, emergency power, power management systems, integrated automation/monitoring systems, propulsion drives, thrusters and associated control systems.
• Support the integrity of DP2 power and control redundancy by ensuring electrical failures, maintenance and modifications are assessed against the vessel redundancy concept, FMEA basis and applicable class/DP requirements.
• Support electrical interfaces associated with accommodation, diving systems and other offshore mission equipment, coordinating with specialist vendors where required.
• Assist with blackout prevention/recovery reviews, protection coordination, power quality, load balancing and investigation of trips or loss-of-power events.

• Develop, review and improve preventive and condition-based maintenance routines for fleet electrical and automation equipment within the PMS/CMMS.
• Lead or support root-cause analysis for significant or repeated electrical failures and track corrective and preventive actions to closure.
• Identify critical spares, long-lead items and obsolete components; maintain fleet-level plans for spares standardization, replacement and lifecycle management.
• Review test reports, insulation resistance readings, thermography, battery tests, protection relay tests and other condition-monitoring data and recommend appropriate actions.

• Prepare detailed scopes of work, technical specifications, bills of materials and cost estimates for electrical repairs, upgrades, retrofits and modification projects.
• Review vendor quotations, technical submissions, drawings, single-line diagrams, cable schedules, load studies and control/PLC modification proposals for technical suitability.
• Plan vessel electrical upgrades and obsolescence replacements, ensuring proper Management of Change, risk assessment, class/client approval where applicable, testing, commissioning and as-built documentation.
• Support dry-dock, repair and mobilization periods by planning electrical work packs, coordinating contractors/OEMs, monitoring progress and verifying completion quality.
