Electrical Project Engineer

Electrical Project Engineer

Where engineering competence meets actual project delivery.

If you’re an Electrical Project Engineer who likes being left alone to quietly shuffle paperwork, this probably isn’t the role for you. If, however, you enjoy being the person who actually makes the engineering work—the one coordinating designs, vendors, site teams, commissioning, and everything in between—then you’ll fit in just fine. This role sits at the centre of the project lifecycle.

You’ll keep the engineering side of things on track, make sure what’s being built is what was actually designed, and help your Senior/Lead Engineer stay (mostly) sane.

• Support the Senior/Lead Engineer with day‑to‑day engineering delivery.
• Work closely with site teams, subcontractors, and vendors to keep the technical wheels turning.
• Own engineering trackers, design responsibility matrices, equipment schedules — the stuff that keeps everyone honest.
• Produce clear, useful project updates that people will actually read.

• Know the EHS Plan and apply it.
• Make sure engineering decisions don’t create safety surprises on site.

• Prepare RFQs that vendors can understand the first time.
• Assess quotes, spot the gaps, and recommend what actually makes sense.
• Keep the technical submittal register alive and accurate.
• Help suppliers understand what’s in‑scope, out‑of‑scope, and wish‑they‑hadn’t‑asked.

• Review quality plans and ITPs — challenge them when you need to.
• Pull together test packs so commissioning teams don’t hunt you down later.
• Track FATs and SATs, close out snags, and verify work matches approved design.

• Build and maintain equipment schedules.
• Lead the charge on technical submittals and RFIs.
• Complete CDEs (Compliance / Deviations / Exceptions) because real projects always have curveballs.
• Review BIM models, drawings, schematics — and make sure they match what the project actually needs.
• Support commissioning teams on walk‑downs, testing, and handover prep.
• Maintain red‑lines like your reputation depends on it.

• Produce weekly progress updates without burying people in jargon.
• Keep site teams informed, aligned, and unconfused.

• Identify technical risks early and escalate what matters.
• Keep the risk log alive (not just updated at month‑end).

• Know the impact of engineering decisions — cost, variation, value engineering.
• Support PMs and QSs with the right technical detail.

• Mentor Graduate Engineers when needed.
• Stay sharp with CPD, workshops, and technical sessions.

Someone who likes:

• Real engineering work (not theoretical doodles).
• Projects with moving parts.
• Solving problems before they become issues.
• Collaborating with site teams, vendors, clients, consultants — the whole ecosystem.

And someone who doesn’t mind:

• A fast pace.
• Accountability.
• Occasionally being the one who notices what everyone else missed.
