Position Summary:
The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for supporting the development, coordination, and delivery of electrical designs across metro rail infrastructure projects. The role involves working closely with multidisciplinary teams to produce safe, efficient, and compliant engineering solutions through concept, preliminary, detailed design, and construction support stages.
Missions/Main Duties
- Prepare and develop electrical design deliverables for metro rail infrastructure projects.
- Support the design of electrical systems for tunnels, stations, shafts, portals, depot approaches, junctions, pumping stations, radio mast installations, sidings, and crossovers.
- Produce and review calculations, design reports, technical specifications, drawings, load schedules, cable schedules, and equipment layouts.
- Design and coordinate electrical systems including LV power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting, small power, earthing and bonding, lightning protection, cable containment, and equipment interfaces.
- Coordinate with civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, fire/life safety, signaling, communications, and rail systems teams.
- Ensure compliance with applicable project standards, client requirements, and relevant electrical and railway codes.
- Participate in design coordination meetings, interdisciplinary reviews, hazard reviews, and technical workshops.
- Support tender documentation, technical clarifications, and responses to contractor and client comments.
- Provide technical input during construction, testing, commissioning, and handover phases as required.
- Assist in identifying design risks, clashes, and opportunities for value engineering and optimization.
