Job Summary

The Electrical Design Engineer (Buildings) is responsible for the technical design, engineering calculations, and documentation of comprehensive electrical and extra-low voltage (ELV) systems for a variety of building projects (residential, commercial, and mixed-use). Operating under the guidance of a Senior Engineer or Design Office Manager, the candidate will take ownership of medium-scale design packages from concept through to tender-ready documentation. A key focus of this role is ensuring strict compliance with local utility regulations (e.g., SEWA, DEWA, ADDC) and local Civil Defense fire and life safety codes, while achieving seamless, clash-free coordination within a multi-disciplinary engineering and architectural design team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Documentation:
  Prepare detailed layouts, containment routing, schematic diagrams, and Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for internal/external lighting, small power, low voltage (LV) distribution, lightning protection, and earthing systems.
• Engineering Calculations:
  Conduct accurate electrical load estimations, maximum demand calculations, cable sizing, short-circuit analyses, and voltage drop calculations.
• Lighting Simulation:
  Create point-by-point indoor, outdoor, and emergency lighting simulations using DIALux/DIALux evo to verify lux level compliance, uniformity, and energy efficiency targets.
• ELV Systems Coordination:
  Assist in or directly handle the basic design and integration of Extra-Low Voltage systems, including fire alarm, CCTV, access control, ICT structured cabling, and Central Emergency Battery systems.
• Interdisciplinary Coordination:
  Actively participate in Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination reviews to detect, track, and resolve spatial clashes with HVAC, plumbing, structural, and architectural elements.
• Authority Approvals:
  Prepare technical submission packages, load schedules, and drawings for compliance reviews and approval by municipal bodies and local utilities.

• Experience:

  2 to 5 years of proven design office experience specifically within building services consultancy, architectural firms, or the technical design department of a main contractor.

• BIM & CAD Software Proficiency:
  Strong working knowledge of Autodesk Revit (MEP) for 3D modeling and extraction, alongside advanced proficiency in AutoCAD.
• Technical Software:
  High proficiency in DIALux/DIALux evo, and familiarity with electrical analysis tools (such as ETAP, Amtech/Trimble, or advanced MS Excel calculation models).
• Codes & Standards:
  Solid foundational knowledge of regional utility regulations (e.g., SEWA/DEWA/ADDC regulations) and international standards like BS 7671 or IEC.
• Professional Credentials:
  Eligibility for or active membership in the local Society of Engineers (or equivalent municipal engineering registration) is highly advantageous.
