• Prepare electrical layouts, panel schedules, circuiting diagrams, and other detailed drawings using CAD and BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.).
• Design electrical distribution systems, including lighting, power, fire alarm, emergency, and low-voltage systems.
• Specify electrical equipment such as transformers, generators, switchgear, panelboards, and motor control centers.
• Prepare voltage drop calculations, load calculations, fault current analysis, and coordination studies.
• Project Management & Coordination:
• Manage electrical design aspects of projects from conception through construction.
• Coordinate with mechanical, plumbing, and architectural teams to ensure integrated design solutions.
• Review project specifications, technical requirements, and code compliance.
• Lead design review meetings and contribute to coordination meetings with clients, contractors, and consultants.
• Compliance & Quality Control:
• Ensure that designs comply with national and local electrical codes (NEC, IEC, etc.), industry standards, and safety regulations.
• Perform detailed design checks to ensure accuracy and adherence to project standards.
• Conduct site visits to review design implementation and resolve design-related issues.
• Mentorship & Leadership:
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level electrical designers and engineers.
• Lead the development of design concepts and ensure they align with project objectives and timelines.
• Documentation & Reporting:
• Prepare and review project documentation, including design reports, submittals, and change orders.
• Maintain organized design files and documentation for future reference and regulatory purposes.
• Client Interaction & Support:
• Act as the primary point of contact for electrical design matters with clients, contractors, and vendors.
• Address client queries and provide technical solutions to design challenges.

Skills and Qualifications:
