About the role
Project Coordinator - EPLAN / Electrical Engineering
Experience:4-7 Years
Role Focus:Business Coordination | Vendor Management | EPLAN Delivery | UAT | Sign-off
This is primarily a project coordination and engineering delivery governance role. The candidate need not be a hands-on EPLAN designer, but should have sufficient understanding of electrical engineering documentation and EPLAN workflows to effectively coordinate between business stakeholders and engineering vendors.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Interact with XYZ business users, engineering teams and stakeholders to understand EPLAN requirements, priorities, scope and expected deliverables.
Translate business requirements into clearly defined vendor work packages, milestones, ownership and delivery timelines.
Coordinate with external engineering vendors responsible for developing, modifying or updating EPLAN drawings and engineering documentation.
Maintain detailed project trackers covering deliverables, owners, planned dates, actual completion, dependencies, review status and open actions.
Drive regular follow-ups with vendors and ensure committed deliverables are completed within agreed timelines.
Identify schedule slippages, dependencies, risks and blockers early and drive escalation and corrective actions.
Coordinate submission of EPLAN deliverables to XYZ business and engineering users for technical/business review.
Consolidate review comments, communicate them clearly to vendors and track corrections through closure.
Manage the delivery workflow from end to end.
Plan and coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with business users and relevant engineering stakeholders.
Track UAT observations and defects, assign actions to vendors and ensure timely closure and retesting.
Obtain formal business/user acceptance and sign-off after successful completion of UAT.
Ensure final EPLAN files, drawings, supporting documents, revision history and approval records are handed over appropriately.
Conduct periodic project/status meetings with vendors and internal stakeholders and maintain minutes, action trackers and decision logs.
Prepare weekly status dashboards covering planned vs. completed deliverables, overdue items, UAT status, risks, issues and vendor performance.
Support change requests and ensure changes to scope, schedule or deliverables are documented, approved and communicated.
REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
4-7 years of experience in Project Coordination, Engineering Project Management, Engineering Services or Vendor Coordination.
Strong experience interacting with business users and third-party engineering vendors.
Hands-on experience in project planning, milestone tracking, action management, risk/issue management and schedule governance.
Experience coordinating UAT, defect/observation closure and obtaining formal business sign-off.
Strong stakeholder management, follow-up, escalation and cross-functional coordination skills.
Good working knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint and project/status reporting.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly communicate requirements, status, risks and dependencies.
PREFERRED ENGINEERING / EPLAN EXPOSURE
Exposure to EPLAN, electrical CAD, electrical engineering, industrial automation, control-panel engineering or engineering documentation.
Working understanding of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, device/component data, BOMs and drawing revisions.
Ability to understand EPLAN delivery terminology and facilitate technical discussions between XYZ business/engineering users and vendors.
Experience handling engineering change requests, drawing revisions, document review cycles and final engineering handover is advantageous.
EPLAN KNOWLEDGE EXPECTED
The candidate is not expected to be an expert EPLAN developer or electrical designer. However, the person should understand the purpose and lifecycle of EPLAN engineering deliverables and be comfortable coordinating discussions involving electrical schematics, wiring documentation, panel layouts, component/device data, BOMs, drawing revisions and engineering change requests.
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
The ideal candidate will have worked in an industrial engineering, electrical engineering, automation, manufacturing or engineering-services environment and will be comfortable coordinating work delivered by external/offshore vendors. The person should be proactive, highly organized and capable of independently driving deliverables to closure while maintaining strong communication with XYZ business users.
EXPECTED DELIVERY WORKFLOW
Business Requirement -> Scope Clarification -> Vendor Assignment -> Delivery Tracking -> Business Review -> Rework / Comment Closure -> UAT -> Final Approval & Sign-off
