Coe Technical Manager-Surge Arrester

This is a full time role with our global client.

Summary

The COE Technical Manager is essential for driving the design and development of LV

to EHV Electrical products primarily for Surge arresters / Insulators required for

establishing TE SA COE for IEEE business which can also be leveraged for IEC

(domestic portfolio). The role needs a full understanding of the system

architecture where the Surge Arrester is used in Transmission lines, Sub

stations / Switch gear applications and design considerations impacting the

product parameters and performance. The current team lacks the specialized

expertise required for insulation design, electrical stress analysis, and other

critical areas, which are essential for ensuring the reliability and performance

of Surge Arresters. Convert customer requirements to design specifications

and ensure compliance meeting product design, quality and project schedule.

Purpose of the Role

To lead and ensure the robustness of Electrical designs for LV to EHV

products, meeting stringent industry and quality standards and customer

specifications. Delivering the Product with full accountability on Design and

Quality performance. Setting technical standards, evaluating new

technologies, managing projects from conception to completion, ensuring

compliance, and serving as the main liaison between technical teams and

other stakeholders.

Key Metrics of the Role

• 100% Design quality
• Product cost (Design)
• On time delivery (OTD)
• First time right designs (DFTR) meeting relevant product standards
