Senior Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities:

1. Design and Engineering Leadership:
   • Lead the electrical design team, ensuring compliance with project specifications, industry standards (e.g., IEC, NEC), and client requirements.
   • Develop and review detailed electrical engineering plans, including single-line diagrams, load calculations, lighting layouts, and equipment schedules.
   • Perform power distribution design, grounding systems, and protection schemes for high- and low-voltage systems.
   • Oversee integration of electrical systems with other disciplines (HVAC, plumbing, structural).
2. Project Management and Coordination:
   • Manage all electrical engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle (FEED, detailed design, construction, commissioning).
   • Coordinate with EPC contractors, consultants, and cross-discipline teams to ensure seamless electrical system integration.
   • Ensure project milestones are met by monitoring electrical engineering progress, resolving design conflicts, and adjusting plans as needed.
3. Technical Compliance and Quality Assurance:
   • Ensure all electrical installations comply with relevant local codes, standards (IEEE, IEC, NFPA), and safety regulations.
   • Review and approve technical submittals, vendor drawings, and material specifications for electrical components (e.g., transformers, switchgear, generators).
   • Conduct regular site inspections and audits to verify the quality of electrical works and adherence to approved designs.
4. Procurement and Vendor Management:
   • Provide technical guidance for the procurement of electrical equipment and materials, ensuring compatibility with project requirements.
   • Evaluate vendor proposals and participate in the selection process of electrical suppliers.
   • Monitor delivery and installation of key electrical systems and equipment.
5. Construction Support and Commissioning:
   • Provide on-site support during the installation, testing, and commissioning of electrical systems.
   • Oversee electrical systems’ commissioning, including performance tests, troubleshooting, and final handover to the client.
   • Develop and implement punch lists for electrical completion and resolve non-conformance issues promptly.
6. Documentation and Reporting:
   • Prepare and maintain detailed project documentation, including progress reports, risk assessments, as-built drawings, and maintenance manuals.
   • Ensure all electrical designs and modifications are documented and approved by relevant stakeholders.

Qualifications:

1. Education:
   • Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s degree preferred)
   • Professional Engineering (PE) license or equivalent certification, depending on the region.
2. Experience:
   • Minimum of 10-15 years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on major EPC commercial building projects.
   • Proven track record of leading electrical design and construction efforts in large-scale commercial developments, industrial complexes, or mixed-use projects.
   • Extensive experience with electrical systems design (LV, MV), power distribution, and integration of renewable energy systems (solar, battery storage).
3. Technical Skills:
   • Proficiency in electrical design software such as AutoCAD, ETAP, Revit MEP, or similar tools.
   • Strong understanding of power systems analysis, protective relay coordination, and electrical load management.
   • In-depth knowledge of industry standards (IEC, IEEE, NEC) and their application in EPC projects.
4. Project Management and Leadership:
   • Experience in managing teams, coordinating with multiple stakeholders, and leading projects from design through to commissioning.
   • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex electrical issues and provide viable solutions in a fast-paced environment.
   • PMP or similar project management certification is a plus.
5. Soft Skills:
   • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
   • Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple tasks, and prioritize workload effectively.
   • Strong leadership capabilities with a focus on mentoring junior engineers and fostering a collaborative team environment.
