Job Purpose:

The E‑House Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical design, equipment integration, and engineering execution for prefabricated Electrical Houses (E-Houses) and packaged modular substations. You will be responsible for developing electrical layouts, sizing components, ensuring system protection, and ensuring full compliance with international standards and client specifications.

Roles & Responsibilities:

1.Electrical Design & Engineering:

• System Design: Develop and review Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), schematic diagrams, three-line diagrams, and control/wiring schedules for MV (Medium Voltage) and LV (Low Voltage) systems.
• Electrical Calculations: Perform critical engineering calculations CT/VT calculation, cable sizing, voltage drop, earthing/grounding grid design, and indoor/outdoor lighting sizing.
• Equipment Integration: Manage the spatial and electrical integration of core equipment inside the E-House, including MV/LV switchgear, transformers, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), UPS systems, and DC distribution boards.
• Interlocking & Logic: Design electrical interlocking schemes, protection matrices, and cause-and-effect logic for safe substation operations.

2.Layout & Cable Management:

• Equipment Layouts: Optimize the internal equipment footprint to ensure safe maintenance clearances, egress paths, and structural weight distribution.
• Cable Routing: Design comprehensive cable tray, ladder, and trench routing layouts, ensuring proper segregation between power, control, and instrumentation cables.

3.Standards, Compliance & Testing:

• Compliance: Ensure all electrical designs comply strictly with international engineering standards (such as IEC 62271-202 for prefabricated substations, IEEE, and NEC) as well as local utility regulations.
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Prepare electrical testing procedures and actively participate in FAT for major electrical equipment and the fully integrated E-House module

You're a great fit if you have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• 5–8 years' of experience in electrical design, with a strong focus on E-Houses, modular packaged units, or heavy industrial substation projects.
• Advanced proficiency in electrical engineering software such as

AutoCAD

/ AutoCAD Electrical, and DIALux (for lighting design).

• 3D modeling awareness (e.g., Navisworks, Revit) is a major plus.
• Deep understanding of MV/LV switchgear parameters, protection relays, transformer specifications, and cable management systems.
