WHAT YOU’LL DO
Phase 1: High-Impact Design & Engineering
- End-to-End Delivery: Own the electrical design lifecycle—from initial concept to tender-ready documentation—utilizing Autodesk Revit (BIM), AutoCAD, and modern AI design platforms.
- Complex Infrastructure Modeling: Design and engineer complex MV/LV power distribution, critical backup systems (Generators, UPS), lighting, fire alarms, BMS/SCADA, Solar PV grids, and EV charging infrastructures.
- Advanced Simulation: Perform precise load calculations, short-circuit mapping, voltage-drop assessments, and protection coordination studies using ETAP or equivalent engineering software.
- Aviation Compliance: Architect specialized airport electrical systems in strict alignment with IATA ADRM and ICAO Annexes standards.
- Regulatory Mastery: Guarantee seamless compliance with GCC/UAE authority codes, including DEWA, ADDC, SEWA, and SEC.
- Sustainability & Estimation: Integrate green building methodologies tracking Estidama and LEED frameworks. Collaborate with Quantity Surveyors to deliver highly accurate Bills of Quantities (BoQ) and cost approximations.
Phase 2: Site Supervision
- Technical Review: Evaluate and clear complex shop drawings, critical material submittals, safety-centric method statements, and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs).
- On-Site Quality Assurance: Supervise field electrical installations to mandate strict alignment with safety regulations, engineering codes, and contract clauses.
- Rigorous Field Audits: Conduct scheduled site checks via Work Inspection Requests (WIR), providing technical, accurate commentary to optimize installation quality.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 8–10 years of solid electrical design experience, including 3+ years dedicated to BIM-enabled projects. Aviation project experience preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
- Active membership with the UAE Society of Engineers. Possession of an Abu Dhabi engineering license (or explicit eligibility to obtain one) is mandatory.
- BIM & Collaboration: Power-user capabilities in Revit (BIM), AutoCAD, Navisworks, and cloud collaboration via BIM 360.
- AI & Engineering Tools: Practical experience with AI-driven electrical design tools alongside engineering simulation software (ETAP/Amtech, Dialux, etc.).
- Global & Local Standards: Deep working knowledge of international design frameworks (British Standards, NFPA, IEC) as well as UAE municipal requirements.
- Flawless written and spoken English communication skills.
- High adaptability, exceptional problem-solving traits, and a collaborative team player mindset.
