Electrical Design Engineer - #34628

The Electrical Design Engineer will be responsible for the end-to-end design and documentation of Electrical (Low Voltage and Extra-Low Voltage) Building Services for a diverse portfolio of commercial, hospitality projects. A core requirement is ensuring all designs strictly adhere to BS, NEC & NFPA, International Codes and standards, and the specific Local Authority Regulations of the region, primarily the UAE and KSA.

Duties and Responsibilities :

• Completion of electrical design packages to meet project timescales, ensuring compliance with local and international standards, local authority regulation and contract deliverables
• Ensure 100% design compliance with international standards, including the National Electrical Code (NEC), IEC standards, BS standard and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, specifically NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 72 (Fire Alarm), and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).
• Perform comprehensive electrical load calculations comply with local authority regulation as per the project function
• Design and develop all electrical systems, including Low Voltage (LV) power distribution, lighting (internal, external, and emergency), earthing and lightning protection, and fire alarm systems.
• Develop detailed Single Line Diagrams (SLD), cable schedules, schematic diagrams, plans, and technical specifications.
• Specify and select major electrical equipment such as transformers, generators, switchgear, panel boards, and UPS systems.
• Design and coordinate Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) systems like Data / Voice networks, CCTV, Access Control, Public Address, and Building Management Systems (BMS).
• Conduct voltage drop and short-circuit analysis to ensure system safety and efficiency.
• Provide input to internal design coordination meetings
• Research, design and evaluate electrical products, equipment, systems and processes to meet requirements, applying knowledge of engineering principles
• Assist in the satisfactory resolution of any design project issues and implement protocols and process to ensure repeat errors do not occur
• Collaborate closely with Architectural, Structural, and Mechanical (MEP) teams to ensure optimal spatial and functional integration of electrical services.
