Engineer (Electrical), TTSH Medical Tower Planning & Development

Institution: Tan Tock Seng Hospital

Family Group: Administration

The HealthCity Novena (HCN) Master Plan was developed by Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), the flagship tertiary hospital of NHG Health, to transform the 17-hectare campus into Singapore's premier integrated hub for healthcare, education, and research - anchored in the vision of advancing patient-centric care for the 1.5 million residents of Central and North Singapore.

Following the successful delivery of Phase 1, Phase 2 was launched on 9 September 2025 and marks the critical intensification of the campus. Phase 2 is anchored by two flagship developments: the new TTSH Medical Tower and the operationalization of the TTSH Pavilion.

The hallmark of Phase 2, the TTSH Medical Tower will add approximately 600 acute beds, significantly strengthening TTSH's healthcare capacity for high-intensity, specialist care. It will house an expanded Emergency Department, additional operating theatres, and procedural suites, and specialist outpatient clinics, all purpose-designed to advance frailty-ready and technology-enabled care.

In addition, to sustain full operational continuity throughout construction, the former Pavilion wards on campus have been transformed and reactivated as the TTSH Pavilion - a modernized facility comprising specialist clinics, laboratories, and offices.

THE ROLE

You will be part of the Medical Tower Planning and Development team, providing electrical engineering expertise across the design, construction, and commissioning phases of the TTSH Medical Tower. You will represent TTSH's technical interests throughout the design and construction of the Medical Tower's electrical systems - ensuring that what is designed and built on the institution's behalf meets clinical requirements, regulatory standards, and operational needs before the building is handed over.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Design Review & Technical Compliance

• Review electrical engineering drawings, specifications, and submissions from consultants and contractors to verify compliance with clinical requirements, Singapore building codes, and international healthcare standards.
• Identify technical gaps or discrepancies in design submissions and work with consultants to resolve them before works proceed on site.
• Ensure all electrical systems - including LV/HV distribution, emergency power, UPS, lighting, and building management systems - are designed to meet the operational requirements of a high-acuity hospital environment.

2. Construction Oversight & Site Coordination

• Attend site inspections and technical meetings to monitor the installation of electrical systems against approved drawings and specifications.
• Review and assess requests for information (RFIs), site queries, and variation orders relating to electrical works, providing timely technical responses to keep the programme on track.
• Coordinate with the mechanical, structural, and architectural teams to resolve cross-discipline clashes and ensure integrated systems delivery.
• Support the testing and commissioning of all electrical systems, ensuring that performance meets design intent and clinical operational requirements.
• Review commissioning reports, inspection records, and test results, identifying deficiencies and ensuring rectification before practical completion.
• Participate in the technical handover process, including joint inspections, snagging, and defects-rectification for all electrical systems within the defects liability period.

4. Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain accurate records of electrical submissions, approvals, test results, and as-built documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure all electrical installations comply with relevant regulatory requirements including BCA, EMA, SCDF, and MOH licensing standards applicable to healthcare facilities.
• Support capital grant justifications and technical submissions relating to electrical infrastructure and specialised medical systems.

REQUIREMENTS

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 5-8 years of relevant experience, with prior involvement in the design, construction, or commissioning of electrical systems in major building projects.
• Experience in healthcare facilities or large institutional buildings is strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of Singapore building codes, EMA regulations, and healthcare electrical standards including emergency power and critical care systems.
• Ability to read and interpret complex electrical engineering drawings and specifications.
• Strong coordination and communication skills, with the ability to engage consultants, contractors, and clinical users effectively.
• Possession of relevant licences or certifications such as Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW - EMA) is an advantage.
