Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced senior level electrical engineer or project engineer to join our engineering team. This role will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and overseeing the implementation of electrical systems in construction projects. Your expertise in electrical engineering principles, system design, and project management will be instrumental in delivering safe, efficient, and reliable electrical solutions that meet project requirements and adhere to industry standards. Additionally, the successful candidate will be able to understand how the electrical design impacts other disciplines such as architectural, structural, civil, and mechanical.

Responsibilities:

During pre-engineering stage:

• Conduct site survey, perform electrical risk identification, support any additional preliminary works, test fits and gather major electrical equipment budget/lead time from equipment vendor.
• Design electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and low voltage systems, considering project specifications, codes, and industry best practices.
• Create detailed electrical drawings, schematics, and specifications using CAD software, ensuring accuracy, compliance with codes, and coordination with other engineering disciplines.
• Perform electrical load calculations to determine the power requirements of buildings, considering equipment, lighting, HVAC systems, and other electrical loads.
• Select and specify appropriate electrical equipment, components, and materials, considering project requirements, standards, and energy efficiency.

During Engineering Design Phase:

• Develop tender & construction drawings/documents, carry out value engineering, end customer approval process (electrical system studies, reliability studies, cause & effect studies, RFQ compliance, EHS compliance).
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, vendors, contractors and other project stakeholders to integrate electrical systems seamlessly into building designs and test fits, addressing technical challenges, and ensuring coordination of MEP systems.

During Construction Phase:

• To issue drawings revision (as and when required), response to site technical query (STQ), site inspection as needed, drive electrical commissioning process and manged as-built drawings.
• For testing and commissioning plans – implement and review T&C plans, and applying relevant codes and standards of electrical tests that are essentially performed for electrical systems.
• Investigate and troubleshoot electrical system failures or malfunctions and propose effective solutions to resolve issues and ensure system reliability.
• Stay informed about emerging technologies, trends, and best practices in electrical engineering, and proactively seek opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.

Training and Mentorship:

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to their professional development.
• Responsibility for continuous improvement through design lessons learned and sharing best practice and lessons both internally and externally.
• Foster a collaborative and innovative work environment.

Project Management:

• Manage a team of both internal and external engineers, providing guidance, support, and leadership throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Master's degree or additional certifications are advantageous.
• Licensed professional engineer in Indonesia
• Minimum of 20 years of experience in electrical engineering, preferably within the construction industry, with a focus on building systems.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit) and electrical engineering software, as well as knowledge of electrical system analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM).
• Strong understanding of electrical system design principles, codes, and standards, with the ability to develop innovative and efficient solutions.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including architects, engineers, and contractors, to integrate electrical systems into building designs successfully.
• Knowledgeable in Medium Voltage electrical distribution systems, Generators, UPS and Transfer switches as well.
• Knowledgeable in Short Circuit Coordination and Arc Flash (SCCAF) studies to relevant code such as NFPA and IEC.
• Knowledgeable in MV/LV equipment protection discrimination and interlocking schemes.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills to identify design challenges, propose effective solutions, and make informed engineering decisions.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to effectively convey complex technical concepts to project stakeholders and collaborate with diverse teams.
• Proven project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.
• Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning and professional development, staying updated with industry advancements and electrical engineering best practices.
• Willingness to conduct site visits as and when necessary.
