Role Purpose:

The Senior Electrical Engineer will provide expert technical support in the tendering and execution of power generation, transmission and distribution projects. His work encompasses the bid technical proposals, design layouts, material selection, cost estimation, execution plans/method statements, operation & maintenance reports, testing and commissioning plans, implementation shop drawings, detailed technical reports and material submittals of electrical systems across utility scale solar plants, water pumping stations, HV/MV substations, HV/MV/LV transmission lines and street lighting projects. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience and keen understanding of design, tendering and execution fields.

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Develop and optimize designs for solar energy systems, substations, transmission lines, distribution and lighting systems, and power design plans for diverse projects, focusing on efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
• Analyze tender submissions, evaluate technical proposals, and ensure compliance with project requirements and industry standards.
• Prepare detailed technical drawings, calculations, and specifications to guide the implementation phase.
• Prepare and review tender documents, specifications, material selections and cost estimates for the electrical scope of projects.
• Seek and contact suppliers for procurement and coordinate with project site management teams to ensure accurate costing and adherence to site and client specifications.
• Provide expertise in troubleshooting and resolving engineering challenges specific to solar, substation, transmission, distribution and lighting systems.
• Conduct feasibility studies and technical analyses to support project decision-making.
• Ensure all projects adhere to relevant safety codes, industry standards, and regulations.
• Develop testing, commissioning, and quality control activities to confirm that installations meet technical and performance specifications.
• Work closely with other engineers, designers, and project stakeholders to support project milestones.
• Mentor junior engineers in best practices for solar, substation, transmission line, lighting, and tendering processes.
• Develop complete deliverables list for the whole project and maintain comprehensive records of tender documents, engineering calculations, technical reports, design layouts, pricings, supplier contacts list, project amendments, detailed shop drawings and as-built drawings.

Education, Experience and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred.
• Minimum of 8-10 years in electrical engineering, including experience with tendering, cost estimation, and specialized work in solar, substation design, transmission lines, and lighting systems.
• Fluent English language is a must.
• Proficiency in software (e.g., AutoCAD, ETAP, PVsyst, DIALux, Primavera, etc).
• Experience with utility scale stations layout, aerial and underground utilities infrastructure, SCADA, and grid integration.
• Deep understanding of photovoltaic systems, including design principles, components (e.g., inverters, panels, storage), and system performance analysis.
• Experience with electrical system for building services (interior lighting, small power, CCTV, fire alarm, data, access control, etc.).
• Ability to perform detailed cost estimates for materials, labor, and services for electrical systems, with knowledge of procurement and vendor evaluation practices.
• Strong analytical skills and knowledge of tendering requirements and compliance processes.
• Knowledge in coordinating remotely with site engineers and developing detailed shop drawings (LOD 400).
• Knowledge of relevant codes and standards, such as IEEE, NEC (National Electrical Code), IEC, and NESC (National Electrical Safety Code), that govern electrical and renewable energy installations.
• Commitment to apply Company's Health Safety & Environment rules and procedures.
