As a Lead Electrical Designer
, you will provide technical and design leadership for electrical design activities across small to medium-sized projects and work packages. You will be responsible for the quality, consistency, and timely delivery of electrical design deliverables, while coordinating closely with Electrical Engineers, other discipline designers, project leadership, and clients. This role balances hands‑on technical design expertise with day‑to‑day leadership, mentoring, and coordination of a small design team.

The Lead Electrical Designer is a key contributor to safe, constructible, and cost-effective electrical designs in support of multidisciplinary engineering projects across the energy, chemicals, mining, and infrastructure sectors.

• Lead the development and delivery of electrical design deliverables, including:
  • Electrical layouts, routing, and installation drawings
  • Cable tray and conduit layouts
  • Equipment location plans
  • Lighting, grounding, and earthing layouts
  • Hazardous area layouts (as applicable)
• Provide technical guidance and oversight to Electrical Designers and Design Technologists.

• Lead a small team of Electrical Designers and coordinate daily design activities and priorities.
• Plan and assign work, monitor progress against schedule and budget, and proactively identify and resolve resourcing or delivery risks.
• Act as the primary design point of contact for the electrical discipline on assigned projects or work packages.
• Participate in project planning, design reviews, model reviews, and interdisciplinary coordination meetings.
• Interface with construction, procurement, and commissioning teams to support constructability and execution planning.

• Coordinate closely with other discipline leads and designers (piping, civil/structural, mechanical, instrumentation, and process) to ensure integrated, clash‑free designs.
• Support 3D model coordination and interdisciplinary design reviews.
• Incorporate client feedback and manage design changes in accordance with project change management processes.

• Promote a strong safety culture in design, including consideration of…
