Taking ownership of the conceptual and basic electrical design is a central part of this role. This includes developing the overall power and control philosophies, creating high‑level system architectures, and determining how electrical, electronic, and automation systems fit together into a reliable and efficient whole. You will work on load analyses, system behavior, power system studies, and functional architectures that form the foundation for the detailed engineering phase. From robust sensor networks to fully integrated monitoring and automation platforms, you will shape the electrical systems that enable safe, efficient, and sustainable mining operations worldwide.

Requirements:

Define electrical power and control philosophies at system level

Develop conceptual and basic designs (power distribution, safety philosophy, system architecture)

Perform load calculations, high‑level cable sizing, and power system analyses

Prepare functional specifications, block diagrams, single-line diagrams, and interface documents

Integrate electrical systems with mechanical, hydraulic, and automation disciplines

Support and attend FAT/SAT and ensure system validation

Provide technical leadership while assigning and coordinating work packages with colleagues in, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, monitoring progress and taking action whenever required to ensure timely and high‑quality delivery
