Purpose / Role

Support the development and delivery of telecommunication systems for industrial and EPC projects, working under the guidance of senior engineers. The role is designed to build solid technical foundations through structured project exposure, document preparation, supplier coordination and participation in design reviews and testing activities.

Key objectives

• Develop practical knowledge of industrial telecommunication systems, engineering workflows and applicable project standards.
• Contribute to accurate and timely preparation of TLC engineering documentation under supervision.
• Support project teams in meeting contractual, quality, safety, environmental, schedule and cost requirements.
• Build effective collaboration with engineering disciplines, suppliers, subcontractors and client representatives.
• Demonstrate continuous learning, technical curiosity and progressive autonomy.

Primary responsibilities and duties

• Assist in preparing and reviewing design criteria, system architectures, technical specifications, data sheets, equipment lists, material requisitions and technical bid evaluations.
• Support basic design activities for telecommunication systems in accordance with project requirements and applicable codes and standards.
• Review supplier documentation with guidance from Senior or Lead Engineers and maintain technical comment registers.
• Collect, verify and organize design inputs, interfaces and technical data from other engineering disciplines.
• Contribute to technical clarifications during tendering and project execution, escalating complex matters to the responsible engineer.
• Support quantity take-offs, preliminary equipment sizing, cable and fiber schedules, and document updates.
• Participate in design reviews, interdisciplinary checks, supplier meetings and technical workshops, preparing minutes or action lists as assigned.
• Support Factory Acceptance Tests, inspections, site activities and commissioning when required.
• Maintain assigned documentation in accordance with document control and quality procedures.

Key system managed / Typical Systems Portfolio

Non-Security Telecom (TLC) Systems

• Plant Communications: Structured cabling, fiber-optic backbone, LAN/WAN, IP telephony, wireless networks, and VSAT systems.
• Plant Safety & Life Safety: Public Address and General Alarm (PA/GA), intercom, and radio communication systems.
• External & Remote Connectivity: Radio, satellite, and dedicated data links (tailored to project scope).
• Network Infrastructure & Integration: Time synchronization, network management systems (NMS), and integration interfaces with control, safety, and security systems.
• Resilience & Cyber Defense: Cybersecurity enforcement, disaster recovery planning, and network administration.

Security Telecom (TLC) Systems

• Physical Plant Security: Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), Access Control Systems (ACS), and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).

The systems will be developed under an EPC approach. This entails primarily defining the core architecture and key functionalities required by the system, in full compliance with the Client's specifications and guidelines. Furthermore, it involves establishing the pre-sizing parameters and technical-contractual constraints to be flowed down to the actual system vendor, who will be responsible for the detail engineering and HW/SW configuration.
