• Perform electrical load calculations, power-system studies, equipment sizing, and technical assessments.
• Select cables, transformers, switchgear, generators, motors, protection devices, control equipment, and electrical components.
• Review electrical designs to ensure safety, reliability, functionality, efficiency, and compliance with applicable standards.
• Conduct electrical inspections, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and performance verification.
• Diagnose electrical faults, equipment failures, power-quality issues, control-system problems, and system-performance concerns.
• Develop preventive and corrective maintenance strategies for electrical equipment and infrastructure.
• Coordinate electrical designs with mechanical, civil, structural, instrumentation, automation, and other engineering disciplines.
• Review technical drawings, equipment specifications, vendor documentation, material submissions, and engineering reports.
• Support electrical installation, commissioning, upgrades, modifications, expansions, and refurbishment projects.
• Monitor technical deliverables, project schedules, quality requirements, and engineering documentation.
• Ensure electrical installations comply with relevant safety standards, technical codes, project specifications, and regulatory requirements.
• Conduct electrical safety assessments, risk evaluations, inspections, and technical audits.
• Support energy-efficiency initiatives, renewable-energy integration, power optimization, and sustainability projects.
• Monitor electrical performance, energy consumption, equipment condition, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Utilize CAD, BIM, electrical-design software, simulation tools, automation systems, data analytics, and digital engineering technologies.
• Prepare technical reports, calculations, test results, inspection reports, project updates, and engineering recommendations.
• Maintain accurate engineering drawings, specifications, maintenance records, testing documentation, and change-control records.
• Investigate electrical incidents, failures, defects, and non-conformities and implement corrective actions.
• Support procurement activities by evaluating technical requirements, supplier proposals, equipment specifications, and quotations.
• Participate in design reviews, technical meetings, site inspections, commissioning activities, and project coordination sessions.
• Provide technical guidance to technicians, contractors, maintenance teams, and other engineering personnel.
• Identify opportunities to improve electrical system reliability, safety, efficiency, maintainability, and cost effectiveness.
• Stay informed about emerging electrical technologies, automation, renewable energy, energy storage, smart-grid systems, and digital engineering.
• Continuously improve electrical engineering processes, technical standards, system performance, safety, reliability, and project outcomes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Power Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong knowledge of electrical circuits, power systems, electrical machines, control systems, protection systems, and electrical equipment.
• Knowledge of power distribution, transformers, switchgear, generators, motors, cables, protection devices, and electrical installations.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, schematics, single-line diagrams, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, calculation, and problem-solving skills.
• Knowledge of electrical safety standards, engineering codes, regulations, and industry practices.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, ETAP, MATLAB, Revit, PLC systems, electrical simulation tools, or similar engineering software.
• Understanding of industrial automation, instrumentation, control systems, renewable energy, energy management, and smart electrical technologies.
• Strong knowledge of testing, commissioning, preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, and electrical inspection procedures.
• Familiarity with BIM, IoT monitoring, data analytics, and AI-assisted engineering tools is advantageous.
• Strong project coordination, documentation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians, contractors, suppliers, consultants, project managers, and clients.
• Relevant professional engineering registration or certifications are advantageous.
• Strong attention to detail, technical judgment, safety awareness, and quality orientation.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
• High level of professionalism, accountability, adaptability, and commitment to electrical safety, reliability, and engineering excellence.
