Junior Electrical Engineer-Project

The Junior Electrical Engineer supports the delivery of electrical works by assisting in the review, coordination, and implementation of design and construction activities on site.

Working under the guidance of the Senior Electrical Engineer and reporting to the Design Manager, the role contributes to shop drawing reviews, site inspections, technical documentation, and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure works are executed in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, and project requirements.

The role is primarily site-focused, with responsibility for resolving day-to-day construction issues and supporting technical workflows. As part of this, the Electrical Engineer is expected to actively contribute to drafting, detailing, and preparation of sketches, mark-ups, and redline drawings using CAD/BIM tools where required (e.g., cable routing adjustments, containment coordination, temporary power solutions), ensuring timely and practical solutions without over-reliance on dedicated drafting resources.
