PROJECT ENGINEER JUNIOR

ADO YOU SHARE OUR VISION FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND OUR DEDICATION TO PIONEERING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES THAT DRIVE THE PORTS INDUSTRY FORWARD AND HELP OUR CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE DECARBONIZE IT? AT ABB MARINE AND PORTS IN PANAMA, WE ARE FOCUSED ON ELECTRIFYING CONTAINER TERMINALS GLOBALLY. PORTS HAVE MANY ELECTRICAL CONSUMERS, SUCH AS SHIP-TO-SHORE CRANES, STACKING CRANES, REEFER SOCKETS, SHORE POWER, ELECTRIC VEHICLES, AND BUILDINGS. WITHIN OUR TEAM IN PANAMA, WE DESIGN AND BUILD ELECTRICAL AND AUTOMATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO PROVIDE RELIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE POWER TO OUR CUSTOMERS, ENABLING THEM TO HANDLE CONTAINERS EFFICIENTLY. OUR SCOPE INCLUDES MEDIUM VOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS, SCADA SYSTEMS, TERMINAL LIGHTING, REEFER RACKS AND THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE, AND GRID CONNECTION SUBSTATIONS, AMONG OTHERS. OUR CORE PRODUCTS ARE PREFABRICATED SUBSTATIONS BUILT IN OUR FACILITIES IN PANAMA. THESE SUBSTATIONS ARE FULLY TESTED AND COMMISSIONED BEFORE THEY ARRIVE AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE. THESE SUBSTATIONS INCLUDE MEDIUM-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR, TRANSFORMERS, LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR, UPS, DC SYSTEMS, SCADA, FIRE ALARMS, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. OUR PROJECT LOCATIONS SPAN THE GLOBE, COVERING THE MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA, EUROPE, AND LATIN AMERICA. THEY TYPICALLY TAKE AROUND 24 MONTHS TO COMPLETE. SAFETY AND INTEGRITY ARE PART OF OUR DNA THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT LIFECYCLE.
