Electrical Designer

An Electrical Designer is responsible for creating electrical schematics, layouts, and technical drawings for a variety of projects, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential developments. This role involves collaborating with engineers, architects, and project managers to ensure electrical systems meet safety standards, regulatory codes, and client specifications. Electrical Designers utilize CAD software and industry best practices to develop efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable electrical designs.

Responsibilities:

1. Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layout plans for buildings and industrial projects
2. Collaborate with engineers and architects to design power distribution, lighting, and communication systems
3. Ensure designs comply with national and local electrical codes, safety regulations, and industry standards
4. Use CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) to create and modify electrical drawings
5. Conduct site surveys to assess project requirements and electrical system integration
6. Specify electrical components, such as circuit breakers, transformers, and wiring systems
7. Provide technical support and documentation for contractors and construction teams
8. Review and revise designs based on feedback from engineers, project managers, or regulatory bodies
9. Perform load calculations and ensure optimal energy efficiency in electrical designs
10. Stay updated on emerging electrical technologies and best practices for sustainable energy solutions

Requirements:

1. Bachelor s degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Design, or a related field
2. Proven experience in electrical design for construction, industrial, or commercial projects
3. Proficiency in electrical design software such as AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or ETAP
4. Strong knowledge of electrical codes and safety regulations (e.g., NEC, IEC, or BS standards)
5. Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications
6. Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
7. Effective communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with engineers and project stakeholders
8. Experience with power distribution, lighting design, and energy-efficient solutions
9. Familiarity with renewable energy systems (solar, wind, etc.) is a plus
