Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer

To support a project for a client in the region of Olen we are urgently searching for a senior E&I Engineer.

Who are we?

PM Group is a leading International engineering, architecture, project and construction management firm. With a network of offices in Europe, Asia and the US and a multi-discipline team of more than 3,700 people, we deliver complex, capital projects in the life sciences, food and beverages, mission critical/ICT, advanced manufacturing, energy and environmental sectors.

Our Vision is to be a highly valued and creative delivery partner, building a more sustainable world with our clients.

Our OTS (Outsourced Technical Services) department supports projects in different sectors on basis of project staffing with consultants working at the client’s site.

Responsibilities:

As an E&I Engineer, you will be responsible for managing electrical and instrumentation projects from concept to completion. You will act as the discipline lead for E&I within large-scale industrial investment projects (up to €30 million), working in close collaboration with the Project Manager, who retains overall project responsibility. This is not a design-only role — we are looking for an engineer who can technically lead and coordinate the E&I scope within multidisciplinary projects.

Primary Task & Responsibilities

• Independently lead the electrical and instrumentation (E&I) discipline from A to Z, from feasibility studies through to commissioning and handover.
• Make technical decisions regarding materials and applications based on environmental conditions.
• Collaborate closely with internal project teams (mechanical, site, design), the Project Manager, and external partners.
• Interpret and assess electrical schematics and cable calculations, including those made in Caneco, and provide solutions where needed.
• Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations in all relevant project phases.
• Support projects related to process installations (e.g. anole battery-related projects).
• Work from the transformer level, focusing mainly on low voltage with basic knowledge of high voltage.
• Prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track project planning and milestones.
• Provide accurate interpretation of SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
• Occasional (exceptional) travel within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.

Fulltime on site attendance is needed!

Qualifications:

Technical profile requirements

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent through experience, with a minimum of 7 years of relevant experience.
  
• Strong knowledge of both electrical systems and industrial instrumentation is essential.
  
• Experience in project work within an industrial setting.
  
• Ability to interpret (but not necessarily design) electrical schematics (EPLAN).
  
• Familiarity with Caneco for cable calculations and the ability to interpret its outputs.
  
• Solid understanding and practical experience with ATEX guidelines and compliance.
  
• Proven ability to interpret SIL/PL/Exi safety calculations.
• Dutch and English are essential primary

Non-Technical profile requirements

• Independent, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset.
  
• Basic understanding of hardware and automation (no programming required).
  
• Willingness to travel occasionally abroad.
