Senior Electrical Engineer-Project

The Senior Electrical Engineer is responsible for the technical delivery, coordination, and constructability of all electrical works within the Design & Build project, including power distribution, lighting, ELV systems, and associated infrastructure.

Reporting to the MEPF Design / Technical Manager, the role ensures that all electrical design and construction activities are aligned with contract requirements, authority regulations, program constraints, safety standards, and site execution needs.

The role acts as the discipline lead for electrical works, responsible for reviewing and approving design outputs, supporting construction delivery, resolving technical issues, and ensuring that design intent is effectively translated into buildable, coordinated, and high-quality site execution.
