Job description

The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance of electrical systems across large and complex facilities. The role requires strong Facilities Management experience, preferably within malls, airports, or similarly critical/high-footfall environments, with responsibility for ensuring electrical asset reliability, statutory compliance, safety, energy efficiency, and uninterrupted facility operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Electrical Operations & Maintenance

• Manage daily operation and maintenance of LV/MV electrical distribution systems, transformers, switchgear, MDBs, SMDBs, DBs, capacitor banks, UPS systems, generators, ATS, lighting, and emergency power systems.
• Ensure optimum reliability and availability of electrical systems in accordance with operational and contractual requirements.
• Plan, execute, and monitor Preventive, Predictive and Corrective Maintenance activities.
• Troubleshoot electrical faults, conduct root-cause analysis, and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Monitor critical assets and identify potential failures before they affect mall/airport operations.
• Oversee backup power systems including generators, UPS and associated electrical infrastructure, consistent with internal FM engineering requirements

FM & Asset Management

• Develop and monitor PPM schedules through CAFM/CMMS.
• Maintain accurate asset registers, maintenance histories, equipment condition assessments, and technical documentation.
• Review asset performance and recommend repair, refurbishment, lifecycle replacement, or system upgrades.
• Monitor electrical consumption and recommend energy-conservation and cost-saving initiatives. Energy optimization and maximum system reliability are specifically reflected in internal FM engineering requirements.
• Support preparation of annual maintenance plans, technical budgets, CAPEX requirements, and lifecycle plans.

Mall / Airport Operations

• Ensure continuous availability of critical electrical systems in 24/7 operational environments.
• Respond effectively to power failures, equipment breakdowns, emergency situations, and high-priority service requests.
• Coordinate maintenance shutdowns and electrical isolations while minimizing operational disruption.
• Support maintenance of electrical services associated with critical operational areas, public spaces, retail units, back-of-house areas, and other facility infrastructure.
• Participate in emergency response and business continuity activities related to power interruption and electrical failure.

Project & Technical Works

• Review electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, specifications, method statements, material submittals and technical proposals.
• Supervise electrical modification, refurbishment, retrofit and upgrade projects.
• Coordinate installation, testing, commissioning and handover of electrical systems.
• Review contractor quotations, technical submissions, BOQs, and scopes of work.
• Support project modifications and upgrades and carry out engineering analysis to identify corrective actions and improve system efficiency, aligning with internal FM engineering expectations.

Contractor & Team Management

• Supervise technicians, subcontractors, and specialist service providers.
• Allocate manpower and resources based on PPM, corrective maintenance and operational priorities.
• Monitor contractor performance against agreed KPIs and SLAs.
• Ensure works are completed safely, on time, and to required technical and quality standards.
• Coordinate with FM Managers, Operations teams, HSE, Security, BMS teams, and other stakeholders.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from a recognized institution.
• Additional FM, HSE, energy management, or asset-management certification would be advantageous.

Experience:

• Minimum 7–10 years of experience in Electrical Engineering / Electrical Maintenance.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant Facilities Management experience preferred.
• Mall or Airport FM project experience is highly preferred.
• Strong experience in large-scale, high-footfall, mission-critical, or 24/7 facilities.
• UAE/GCC Facilities Management experience strongly preferred.
• Experience managing electrical technicians, specialist subcontractors, and maintenance service providers.
