Configure routers, switches, firewalls, and communication equipment such as :

  • Fiber optic and Ethernet (RJ45) networking
  • Perform testing, troubleshooting, and validation of network components during commissioning.
  • Develop testing procedures and ensure proper execution and documentation.
  • Provide technical support during commissioning, ensuring quick resolution of issues and system reliability.
  • Cross‑Functional Coordination

  • Serve as the interface between internal engineering teams, subcontractors, and clients during network implementation.
  • Support tender teams by evaluating technical solutions and identifying cost optimization opportunities.
  • Participate in project reviews, risk assessments, and operational support discussions.
  • Required Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Systems, Networks Engineering, Electrical / Industrial Automation, or related engineering field.
  • 5+ years of experience in industrial networks engineering, electrical infrastructure, energy systems, or commissioning roles.
