Your role is critical in optimizing system performance and ensuring all designs meet relevant engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support the engineering design review process, including the review of EPC master document lists, system sizing, layout optimization, structural design, and balance of system components.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external EPC contractors to integrate solar PV systems into existing structures and infrastructure, ensuring compliance with IEC and local engineering standards.
• Create detailed electrical drawings such as single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and connection diagrams using CAD software.
• Perform comprehensive electrical calculations for both DC and AC components of the system.
• Review and interpret PVsyst simulation reports and performance ratio (PR) calculations.
• Assist in securing endorsements from Professional Engineers and LEWs for engineering documentation, analysis, and drawings.
• Provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle, including during design reviews, installation, start-up, testing, commissioning, and performance monitoring.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical knowledge sharing across project teams.
• Stay updated on industry developments, including emerging technologies and best practices, and integrate them into project designs where applicable.
• Act as the document controller for the master document list, ensuring all submissions and transmittals are accurately tracked.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and engineering solar PV systems, ideally within the construction or energy sector.
• Strong knowledge of solar PV technologies, system configurations, and components.
• Solid understanding of electrical systems, grid integration, and power distribution.
• Familiarity with Singapore's local building codes, electrical regulations, and permitting processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with sound engineering judgment.
• Effective communicator with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
• Proficient in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and solar design tools such as PVsyst and Helioscope.
• Willing and able to perform site surveys, including working at heights and in hot or sunny environments.
• Capable of maintaining prolonged mental focus and stamina.
• Required to maintain a healthy BMI suitable for fieldwork.
