Job description

The Electrical Engineer will provide technical engineering support, design coordination, and project development assistance for complex electrical infrastructure initiatives. This role will contribute to project planning, preliminary engineering, technical assessments, and execution activities involving electrical systems, power infrastructure, and associated utility facilities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Participate in the initial planning of electrical engineering projects by assessing technical requirements, evaluating design alternatives, reviewing site conditions, and preparing preliminary cost and feasibility analyses.
• Contribute to the engineering assessment and development of electrical infrastructure, including transmission lines, substations, and associated power system components, by evaluating technical requirements, reviewing design considerations, and supporting the implementation of reliable and efficient engineering solutions.
• Examine engineering plans and technical documentation to verify design integrity, adherence to established standards, and readiness for implementation.
• Review site-specific constraints involving environmental conditions, statutory clearances, construction access, equipment staging areas, and land-use considerations to identify potential impacts on project implementation.
• Assess technical and execution-related uncertainties, including design limitations, approval dependencies, environmental considerations, and site access constraints, and recommend measures to minimize their impact on project timelines and expenditure.
• Prepare and refine engineering work packages, technical documentation, equipment specifications, and study criteria while coordinating reviews of deliverables from external engineering partners.
• Address technical challenges involving power distribution infrastructure, substation equipment, electrical protection systems, control mechanisms, communication networks, and related utility installations.
• Coordinate technical activities associated with equipment verification, system integration, commissioning procedures, and preparation for operational handover.
• Contribute to infrastructure development and capacity enhancement initiatives by evaluating electrical system requirements, assessing integration needs, and recommending practical engineering solutions.
• Work closely with engineering specialists, project coordinators, consultants, and other stakeholders to resolve design issues, align technical dependencies, and facilitate the smooth progression of project activities.
