Job Type: Full‑time

The role focuses on low‑voltage power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting, earthing, bonding, lightning protection, life‑safety interfaces, BIM coordination, and technical design assurance across stations, tunnels, viaducts, depots, and ancillary facilities.

• Review electrical design packages across concept, schematic, detailed design, IFC, and as‑built stages for stations, tunnels, viaducts, depots, and ancillary facilities.
• Assess low‑voltage power distribution systems, including single‑line diagrams, riser diagrams, switchboards, motor control centers, automatic transfer switches, distribution boards, load schedules, and protection coordination studies.
• Validate electrical calculations and engineering studies covering load assessments, cable sizing, load flow, short‑circuit analysis, voltage drop, and protective device coordination.
• Review earthing, bonding, and lightning protection systems for compliance with project requirements and applicable international standards.
• Assess lighting and emergency lighting designs, calculations, and reports against operational, safety, and life‑safety requirements.
• Verify electrical interfaces with smoke control, tunnel ventilation, pressurization systems, fire pumps, fire alarm systems, essential power systems, and related MEP systems.
• Review design deliverables, shop drawings, material submittals, manufacturer data, datasheets, method statements, RFIs, and technical documents.
• Ensure electrical submissions comply with project standards, document control requirements, design criteria, and authority expectations.
• Support testing and commissioning activities by reviewing FAT, SAT, and ISAT documentation and participating in testing or startup activities when required.
• Review electrical and instrumentation design specifications and approved manufacturer lists, then provide technical recommendations for approval.
• Coordinate with architecture, structural, mechanical, fire engineering, rail systems, BIM, construction, and project controls teams to resolve clashes and design interfaces.
• Participate in BIM‑based coordination and support integrated project delivery across electrical and multidisciplinary work streams.
• Promote safety‑by‑design principles, sustainability, quality, maintainability, and operational reliability through disciplined technical review.
• Identify design risks, interface gaps, missing information, technical discrepancies, and non‑compliant submissions.
• Prepare technical review reports, comment registers, presentation material, engineering notes, and recommendations for project leadership.
• Support construction and project teams with electrical clarifications, design responses, technical assessments, and review closeout actions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in electrical design, design review, installation, testing, and commissioning of electrical systems.
• Experience working on large‑scale civil, infrastructure, industrial, railway, metro, transit, or transportation projects.
• Strong knowledge of international electrical codes and standards, including NEC, IEC, IEEE, NFPA, and local authority requirements.
• Detailed understanding of electrical systems, materials, equipment selection, power distribution, protection coordination, lighting, emergency power, and engineering design principles.
• Ability to review electrical drawings, calculations, shop drawings, material submittals, technical reports, method statements, RFIs, and testing documentation.
• Experience reviewing electrical interfaces with MEP, fire engineering, tunnel systems, ventilation, life‑safety systems, and rail systems is preferred.
• Ability to perform electrical calculations and engineering assessments using industry‑standard software tools.
• Proficiency in ETAP, DIALux, AGI
  32, or similar electrical engineering software is preferred.
• Experience working in BIM‑enabled and multidisciplinary…
