Job description

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support electrical project. This position involves a combination of engineering hands-on, site inspection, electrical testing, technical documentation, and project coordination.

The Electrical Engineer should be prepared to travel between multiple project locations and perform field testing and inspection work as part of normal duties. The position is therefore suitable for candidates who prefer a practical engineering role rather than a purely office-based design position

The successful candidate must be familiar with Singapore electrical standards and regulatory requirements and be capable of carrying out electrical installation, testing and site inspections independently. This is a hands-on engineering position involving both office-based technical work and regular travel to project sites.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Installation, Inspection & Testing

• Conduct electrical installation, site inspections, testing, measurements, and verification.
• Perform electrical continuity testing and accurately record test results.
• Perform earth resistance testing for electrical earthing and lightning protection systems.
• Perform trip testing of protective devices, including RCD/RCCB where applicable.
• Carry out other relevant electrical tests using appropriate calibrated testing instruments.
• Inspect electrical installations including distribution boards, outgoing circuits, cables, protective devices, earthing systems and associated electrical equipment.
• Inspect and assess Lightning Protection Systems (LPS), earthing arrangements, test points and associated components where required.
• Identify defects, abnormal readings, non-compliances, and potential electrical safety issues.
• Recommend appropriate corrective or rectification actions.
• Conduct follow-up inspections and testing after rectification works.
• Ensure test readings, photographs, observations, and findings are properly documented.

Singapore Standards & Compliance

• Must be familiar with applicable Singapore Standards, Codes of Practice, electrical safety requirements, and regulatory requirements relevant to electrical installations.
• Able to understand and apply relevant standards and project specifications during inspections and assessments.
• Keep updated with changes to relevant Singapore electrical standards and regulatory requirements.
• Assist in assessing electrical installations for compliance with applicable requirements.
• Coordinate with PE and LEW where professional endorsement, certification, statutory submission, or licensed electrical work is required.
• Ensure all works are carried out in accordance with applicable Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) requirements and company safety procedures.

Electrical Engineering & Technical Support

• Assist in the assessment, troubleshooting, maintenance, rectification, testing, and commissioning of electrical installations.
• Review electrical systems and identify technical issues requiring corrective action.
• Provide practical engineering recommendations based on inspection and testing findings.
• Assist with electrical calculations and technical assessments where required.
• Support site teams and contractors in resolving electrical defects and technical issues.

Drawings & Technical Documentation

• Read and interpret Single-Line Diagrams (SLD), electrical drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Prepare, amend, and update SLDs and electrical drawings using AutoCAD or equivalent software.
• Update drawings according to actual site conditions and verified installations.
• Prepare as-built drawings where required.
• Prepare inspection reports, testing reports, checklists, defect reports, technical reports, and supporting documentation.
• Maintain proper revision control and project documentation.

Project & Site Coordination

• Conduct site surveys and attend project sites independently when required.
• Coordinate inspections and testing with clients, contractors, technicians, LEW, PE, and other stakeholders.
• Assist the Project Manager with project planning, scheduling, coordination, and progress monitoring.
• Attend site meetings and technical discussions.
• Monitor outstanding defects and follow up on rectification works.
• Highlight technical issues, non-compliances, delays, and project risks to management.
• Support testing, commissioning, handover, and project close-out activities.

IT, Data & Reporting

The candidate must be IT-savvy and comfortable working with digital systems and electronic documentation.

Responsibilities include:

• Data entry and management of inspection and testing records.
• Preparation and generation of technical reports.
• Organising site photographs and inspection evidence.
• Managing electronic project folders and documentation.
• Using Microsoft Excel for data compilation, tracking, calculations, and reporting.
• Using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint for reports and presentations.
• Using AutoCAD for reviewing and updating electrical drawings and SLDs.
• Using cloud-based storage, project management platforms, mobile applications, and other digital systems adopted by the company.
• Able to learn and adapt quickly to new software, applications, and digital reporting systems.

Essential Requirements

Candidates must meet the following requirements:

- At least 2-3 years of practical hands-on experiences.
