We are looking for an experienced Senior Lead – Electrical Design to head our Electrical Design team and drive technical excellence, project delivery, team development, and business growth. The candidate will be responsible for leading end-to-end electrical design for large-scale commercial office fit-out projects, ensuring technically sound, cost-effective, energy-efficient, and compliant solutions. The role requires a robust combination of hands-on electrical design expertise, team leadership, commercial awareness capabilities. The ideal candidate should have substantial experience in electrical design consultancy or Design & Build organisations, with a proven ability to independently manage design teams, coordinate multidisciplinary projects, support client acquisition, and drive value engineering.

Key Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership & Management
• Head the Electrical Design team, ensuring effective resource planning, task allocation, technical supervision, and timely delivery across multiple projects.
• Lead, mentor, and develop electrical designers and engineers, strengthening technical capabilities and design quality.
• Establish and implement standardised electrical design procedures, calculation methodologies, technical specifications, and quality-control processes.
• Monitor team productivity, resource utilisation, project schedules, and design deliverables.
• Drive coordination with HVAC, PHE, Fire Protection, IBMS, IT/AV, architecture, interiors, and execution teams.
• Take complete ownership of electrical design deliverables from concept development through construction and handover.
• Identify training requirements and introduce engineering tools and automation to improve design efficiency. 2. Electrical System Design & Engineering
• Lead complete electrical design for commercial office fit-outs, including power distribution, lighting, emergency power, UPS systems, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Develop and review electrical load calculations, maximum demand assessments, diversity factors, and power distribution strategies.
• Design LT power distribution systems, including main panels, sub-main panels, distribution boards, MCCs, and power distribution networks.
• Prepare and validate single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical schematics, equipment schedules, and panel specifications.
• Perform cable sizing, voltage-drop calculations, short-circuit calculations, protective-device selection, and discrimination/coordination studies.
• Develop earthing and bonding systems, including equipment earthing and protective earthing.
• Design normal, essential, emergency, and UPS-backed power distribution systems with appropriate redundancy for critical infrastructure.
• Evaluate electrical requirements for server rooms, data centres, UPS rooms, AV systems, HVAC equipment, and other critical loads.




• Coordinate with base-building electrical infrastructure and assess available electrical capacity, tap-off provisions, and distribution constraints.
• Ensure compliance with applicable NBC, IS, IEC, CEA regulations, and relevant electrical safety standards. 3. Lighting Design & Energy Efficiency
• Lead lighting design coordination for workstations, meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, common areas, and critical rooms.
• Review lighting calculations and simulations using DIALux, Relux, or equivalent software.
• Develop lighting control strategies incorporating occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, dimming controls, and automated lighting systems.
• Coordinate lighting design with architectural intent, interior design, ceiling layouts, and workplace requirements.
• Evaluate energy-efficient lighting technologies and optimise lighting power density.
• Ensure compliance with applicable lighting standards, energy codes, and client sustainability requirements.
• Coordinate with lighting designers, OEMs, and vendors to ensure design intent is achieved during execution. 4. Design Delivery, Coordination & Quality Assurance
• Independently lead multiple projects from concept design through design development, tender documentation, GFC/IFC drawings, and execution support.
• Prepare and review Design Basis Reports (DBRs), calculation reports, BOQs, technical specifications, and detailed engineering drawings.
• Ensure design deliverables are coordinated with architectural layouts, interior requirements, and other MEP systems.
• Conduct technical reviews, design audits, and quality checks before issuing drawings and documentation.
• Resolve technical RFIs, site coordination issues, and execution-stage design challenges.
• Review vendor technical submittals, shop drawings, equipment specifications, and material approvals.
• Conduct site visits and design compliance reviews to ensure execution aligns with approved engineering documentation.
• Ensure timely design delivery while maintaining technical accuracy, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency. 6. Value Engineering & Commercial Management
• Drive cost optimisation and value engineering across electrical distribution, lighting, UPS, and power infrastructure.
• Assess opportunities for reuse of existing electrical infrastructure in refurbishment projects, subject to technical condition assessments and compliance.
• Evaluate alternative distribution architectures, equipment ratings, redundancy strategies, and material selections to optimise CAPEX and OPEX.




• Review BOQ quantities, equipment sizing, and specifications to minimise overdesign and unnecessary project expenditure.
• Support technical bid evaluations and vendor comparisons.
• Develop cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions without compromising reliability, operational continuity, maintainability, or safety.
• Identify opportunities to incorporate modern electrical technologies, intelligent monitoring, and automation.
• Support project profitability through design efficiency, cost control, and reduction in execution-stage rework. Qualifications & Experience
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent recognised qualification.
• Minimum 10 years of relevant electrical design experience, preferably in commercial office fit-outs and corporate interior projects.
• Proven experience leading electrical design teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong hands-on expertise in LT electrical distribution, lighting, UPS, emergency power, and electrical infrastructure design.
• Experience with electrical design consultancy, MEP consulting organisations, or commercial Design & Build companies.
• Demonstrated experience in client-facing roles, technical presentations, project pitching, and business development support.
• Strong knowledge of electrical engineering standards, technical specifications, engineering calculations, and regulatory requirements.
• Proven ability to independently develop and review complete design documentation, technical reports, and BOQs. Required Skills & Competencies Technical Expertise
