A specialist Transformer Testing Engineer is required in Dubai to carry out factory, site, pre-commissioning, and commissioning tests on power and distribution transformers, ensuring strict compliance with IEC 60076, IEEE transformer standards, project specifications, and client requirements. This hands-on role covers FAT/SAT review, site testing and commissioning, test report preparation, OEM coordination, HSE compliance, and client interfacing — targeting professionals with 5–10 years of hands-on EHV/HV/MV transformer testing experience.
About This Transformer Testing Engineer Role
Core Scope: Factory, site, pre-commissioning, and commissioning tests on power and distribution transformers in Dubai
Standards: IEC 60076 and IEEE transformer standards — strict compliance with project specifications and client requirements
Transformer Types: EHV (Extra High Voltage), HV (High Voltage), and MV (Medium Voltage) transformers
Substation Experience: GIS and AIS substation projects preferred
Why This Testing Engineer Role Stands Out
Full Testing Lifecycle: From Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) review through site commissioning and as-built documentation
IEC/IEEE Standards Authority: Work as the technical standards authority on transformer compliance across major Dubai projects
Diagnostic Expertise: Apply transformer testing instruments and diagnostic tools for fault analysis and performance validation
Client & OEM Interface: Serve as the direct technical interface with clients, consultants, and OEM teams during inspections
Position Overview
This Transformer Testing Engineer role performs site testing and commissioning on power and distribution transformers, reviews and verifies OEM, FAT, and SAT reports, coordinates with construction, protection, and commissioning teams, prepares test reports, checklists, and as-built documentation, ensures compliance with HSE requirements throughout all testing activities, and interfaces with clients and consultants during inspections and approvals — across EHV, HV, and MV transformer assets on GIS and AIS substation projects in Dubai.
Why This Role Matters: As Transformer Testing Engineer in Dubai, you are the technical quality guardian for every power and distribution transformer entering service — validating FAT and SAT reports, performing site commissioning tests on EHV, HV, and MV assets, applying IEC 60076 and IEEE standards to protect grid reliability, interfacing directly with clients and OEMs during critical inspection milestones, and maintaining the as-built documentation that ensures every transformer placed in service meets the highest standards of performance and safety.
