Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design electrical systems (ELV/LV/MV), prepare drawings and calculations, coordinate across disciplines, and deliver code-compliant, constructible designs for consultancy projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop complete electrical design packages: single-line diagrams, load schedules, panel schedules, cable sizing, grounding/earthing, lighting, small power, and MV/LV distribution.

• Model and document systems in Autodesk Revit (BIM) and produce coordinated shop/IFC drawings.

• Perform lighting, power, and short-circuit/voltage-drop calculations; select equipment and protection settings using Etap and other industry related softwares.

• Design ELV/low-current systems (as applicable): fire alarm, CCTV, access control, data/telecom, PA/BGM.

• Ensure compliance with relevant codes/standards (e.g., IEC/NEC, SBC, NFPA, utility/SEC requirements).

• Coordinate with architectural, structural, mechanical, and site teams; resolve clashes and RFI responses.

• Prepare BOQs, technical specifications, datasheets, and material submittals; support tendering and value engineering.

• Conduct design reviews, QA/QC checks, and support site with technical clarifications.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).

• Minimum 8 years of electrical design experience in a consulting engineering office.

• Proficiency in Autodesk CAD for electrical/BIM modeling and documentation.

• Solid command of AutoCAD and MS Office (Excel for schedules/calcs).

• Working knowledge of IEC/NEC, NFPA, SBC, and local utility standards (e.g., SEC) and permitting processes.

• Proven experience producing coordinated IFC/tender drawings and complete calculation packs.

Technical Skills (Required)

• Load estimation, diversity factors, feeder/cable sizing, short-circuit and voltage-drop studies.

• LV/MV distribution design, transformer/switchgear selection, grounding/earthing & lightning protection.

• Interior/exterior lighting design and controls; emergency/exit lighting.

• ELV systems fundamentals and interface with life-safety systems.

• BIM coordination (worksets, families, schedules) and clash detection workflows.

Preferred/Plus

• Experience with: ETAP/DIALux/Calculux, Navisworks/Clash detection, BIM 360/ACC.

• Arabic/English communication; KSA market/authority experience.

• Previous experience within Saudi Arabia.

Soft Skills

• Strong coordination and communication skills.

• Attention to detail, documentation rigor, and QA mindset.

• Ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines across multiple projects.

• Calculation reports (load, SC, VD, lighting), SLDs, panel schedules.

• BOQs, datasheets, technical specs, and compliance matrices.

Typical Deliverables

• Revit models, coordinated drawings (IFC/tender/shop).

• Calculation reports (load, SC, VD, lighting), SLDs, panel schedules.

• BOQs, datasheets, technical specs, and compliance matrices.
