For a longterm project at one of our clients in the region Kempen, we are searching for a senior Lead E&I Engineer.

As a Lead E&I Engineer you are responsible for managing electrical and instrumentation projects from concept to delivery. You act as the technical discipline lead for E&I within large-scale multidisciplinary industrial investment projects (up to €30 million) and work closely with the Project Manager, who holds overall responsibility for the project. This is not a purely design-oriented role — we are looking for a Lead Engineer who can provide technical leadership and coordination within multidisciplinary projects.

Tasks & Responsibilities

  • Independently lead the electrical and instrumentation (E&I) discipline from A to Z, from feasibility studies through commissioning and handover.
  • Make technical decisions regarding materials and applications, taking environmental factors into account.
  • Collaborate closely with internal project teams (mechanical, site, design), the Project Manager, and external partners.
  • Interpret and assess electrical diagrams and cable calculations (including in Caneco) and provide solutions where necessary.
  • Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations throughout all relevant project phases.
  • Support projects related to process installations (e.g., battery-related projects such as anode).
  • Work from transformer level, focusing on low voltage with basic knowledge of high voltage.
  • Prepare technical specifications and tender documents, define and monitor project budgets, and track planning and milestones.
  • Correctly interpret SIL, PL, and Exi calculations to ensure functional safety and compliance.
  • Correctly interpret Exi calculations in the context of ATEX regulations.
  • Be willing to travel occasionally within Europe and Asia for project follow-up.

Technical Profile Requirements

  • Master’s or bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in a leading E&I role within process industry projects.
  • Minimum 7 years of experience as an E&I Engineer in the process industry.
  • Excellent knowledge of industrial instrumentation (pressure, flow, level measurements, etc.).
  • Experience with project-based work in the process industry.
  • Strong knowledge and practical experience with ATEX guidelines and applications.
  • Ability to interpret electrical diagrams (e.g., in EPLAN) — drawing skills are not required.
  • Experience with Caneco for cable calculations and interpretation.
  • Proven experience interpreting SIL safety calculations.
  • Basic knowledge of hardware and automation (no programming knowledge required).

Non-Technical Profile Requirements

  • You work independently.
  • You work proactively.
  • You are solution-oriented.
  • You can act diplomatically.
  • You can communicate smoothly with different levels.

Language Skills

  • Fluent in Dutch.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Other languages are a plus.

Location

  • region Kempen.
  • Onsite presence required.
  • Current policy: minimum 3 days per week onsite presence.
