Latest Jobs at Ramos Electric Power Limited

Job Summary

• We are developing a greenfield 600 MW (gross) lignite-fired mine-mouth power plant at Obomkpa, Aniocha North LGA, Delta State.
• The plant has four 150 MW circulating fluidised bed (CFB) units, fuelled from the adjacent lignite mine.
• The project is in front-end engineering design (FEED), with EPC procurement and financial close to follow.
• We are looking for an experienced Lead Electrical & Grid Engineer to be REPL’s technical authority for the plant’s electrical systems, the 330 kV grid connection and the private 132 kV network that will supply the SEZ.

What you will do

• Develop the electrical design basis, single-line diagrams and auxiliary-power load list.
• Specify generators, generator step-up transformers, generator circuit breakers, MV and LV switchgear, DC/UPS and emergency and black-start supplies.
• Lead the TCN grid-connection work, including the Grid Connection Agreement studies, and define the 330 kV switchyard and transmission-line requirements for connection to the existing national grid.
• Design the private 132 kV SEZ network (330/132 kV transformers, 132 kV substation and feeders) and the 33 kV supply to the mine.
• Plan how the plant and SEZ network run together: frequency and voltage control, load shedding and island operation if the grid link trips.
• Set protection, revenue metering, SCADA and telecoms requirements to IEC standards and the Nigerian Grid Code.
• Write the electrical parts of the EPC Employer’s Requirements and lead technical bid evaluation.
• Support the NERC licence, the Grid Connection Agreement and the SEZ supply contracts, and review the Owner’s Engineer’s electrical work.

What you need

• B.Eng. or B.Sc. in Electrical or Electrical / Electronic Engineering.
• At least 12 years in power generation or transmission, including 5 years or more in power-plant electrical design or grid connection on projects of 100 MW or larger.
• Hands-on experience with 330 kV or 132 kV substations and with specifying generators and step-up transformers.
• Working knowledge of ETAP, PSS/E or DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and of IEC standards.
• Sound grasp of power-system protection, metering and grid-code compliance.
• COREN registration, or eligibility to register within three months of starting (international candidates: COREN temporary registration, which REPL will support).
• Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
• Travel: Regular travel within Nigeria, including Abuja for TCN and NERC, and international travel for factory acceptance tests of transformers and switchgear

It will help if you have:

• Direct experience of TCN connection applications and the Nigerian Grid Code.
• IPP grid connection in Nigeria or West Africa.
• Private-wire, embedded-generation or industrial-park networks, including island operation.
• Generator testing and protection-relay setting.
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Professional Engineer (PE) status.
• Commercial understanding of PPAs and connection agreements.

Job Summary

• We are looking for an experienced Lead Mechanical / Thermal Engineer to be REPL’s technical authority for the steam cycle, CFB boilers, turbine-generators, and balance of plant, from FEED through EPC award and financial close.

What you will do

• Lead the mechanical and thermal FEED: design basis, plant configuration and heat and mass balances.
• Build and maintain the plant performance model, including heat rate and output across the lignite quality range.
• Define the design fuel envelope from lignite assays, working with the mine team on moisture, ash and sulphur.
• Specify the CFB boilers, steam turbines, condensers, wet mechanical-draught cooling towers, polishing FGD, pumps and fans.
• Specify lignite, limestone and ash handling, including the interface with the mine conveyor and the fly-ash link to the SEZ brick plant
• Lead the water system with the hydrogeologist, including the borefield, reservoir, and treatment systems.
• Write the mechanical parts of the EPC Employer’s Requirements, lead technical bid evaluation, and set performance guarantees and test procedures.
• Review the Owner’s Engineer’s work and support lenders’ technical due diligence.
• Coordinate interfaces with the mining, civil, electrical, and environmental teams, and build efficiency, emissions, water, and waste limits into the design.

What you need

• B.Eng. or B.Sc. in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering.
• At least 12 years in thermal power, including 5 years or more in design, FEED, or Owner’s Engineering on coal or solid-fuel plants of 100 MW or larger.
• Hands-on use of heat-balance software (for example, Thermoflex or EBSILON) and working knowledge of ASME codes.
• Proven ability to write technical specifications and coordinate several engineering disciplines.
• COREN registration, or eligibility to register within three months of starting (international candidates: COREN temporary registration, which REPL will support).
• Fluency in written and spoken English is required.

It will help if you have:

• CFB boiler experience, especially on lignite or other high-moisture fuels.
• Taking at least one power plant through design, construction and commissioning.
• Working with Chinese EPC contractors or design institutes.
• Performance testing and factory acceptance testing of boilers and turbines.
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Professional Engineer (PE) status.
