Six to nine years of relevant professional experience, including substantial electrical design experience on building projects.
Hands-on building-services electrical design experience, rather than primarily project management, project management and construction management, construction supervision, or testing and commissioning experience.
Experience with hospitality projects, including hotels, resorts, high-rise towers, or other complex building developments.
Experience progressing projects through concept, schematic, and detailed design stages.
Understanding of low-voltage power distribution, lighting, emergency power, earthing, lightning protection, and related building electrical systems.
Experience performing electrical calculations and equipment sizing as part of design.
Understanding of multidisciplinary coordination within complex building projects.
Proficiency in Revit MEP and AutoCAD, and experience in a building information modeling-based design environment.
Knowledge of relevant International Electrotechnical Commission, British Standards, National Fire Protection Association, and other applicable international standards and codes.
Ability to prepare and review electrical single-line diagrams, layouts, load schedules, equipment schedules, and design calculations.
Ability to identify and resolve coordination and design issues.
Ability to communicate technical information clearly in writing and verbally.
Ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary design team and manage assigned design deliverables to agreed deadlines.

Responsibilities

Develop electrical designs for major building projects from concept and schematic design through detailed design and tender documentation.
Design low-voltage power distribution systems, including load estimation, equipment sizing, single-line diagrams, distribution boards, and associated electrical infrastructure.
Perform electrical engineering calculations, including load schedules, demand calculations, cable sizing, voltage drop, short-circuit calculations, and protection coordination.
Design internal and external lighting systems, including lighting calculations, emergency lighting, and lighting control systems.
Develop designs for earthing, bonding, and lightning protection systems.
Support the design and coordination of emergency and standby power systems, including generators and uninterruptible power supply systems where applicable.
Develop and coordinate extra-low-voltage and low-current system requirements as part of integrated building designs.
Prepare electrical drawings, layouts, schematics, schedules, specifications, and other technical design documentation.
Coordinate electrical services with mechanical, plumbing, fire and life safety, structural, and architectural disciplines to achieve coordinated designs.
Coordinate electrical systems in a building information modeling-led design environment using Revit MEP and Navisworks.
Review building information modeling models and identify spatial, technical, and multidisciplinary coordination issues.
Support design reviews and respond to internal technical comments and client requirements.
Ensure designs comply with applicable local authority requirements and relevant international electrical and life-safety standards.
Support technical submissions at different design stages and incorporate client, authority, and multidisciplinary design comments.
Assist senior engineers and discipline leads in delivering projects in accordance with agreed quality requirements, programmes, and design standards.
Take ownership of assigned electrical design packages and coordinate their delivery with other project team members.

Desired Qualifications

Experience within a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy or architectural/engineering design practice is strongly preferred.
Familiarity with Navisworks for multidisciplinary coordination.
Experience with electrical design and calculation software such as ETAP, Amtech/Trimble ProDesign, or equivalent.
Experience with lighting calculation software such as DIALux or equivalent.

Preparing electrical drawings, layouts, schematics, schedules, specifications and other technical design documentation.
Coordinating electrical services with mechanical, plumbing, fire & life safety, structural and architectural disciplines to achieve fully coordinated designs.
Working within a BIM-led design environment and coordinating electrical systems using Revit MEP and Navisworks.
Reviewing BIM models and identifying spatial, technical and multidisciplinary coordination issues.
Supporting design reviews and responding to internal technical comments and client requirements.
Ensuring designs comply with applicable local authority requirements and relevant international electrical and life-safety standards.
Supporting technical submissions at different design stages and incorporating client, authority and multidisciplinary design comments.
