LEAD ELECTRICAL DESIGNER - COGENERATION PLANT

The Lead Electrical Designer will be responsible for leading and coordinating the electrical design scope of EPC projects from concept through execution. This role ensures design outputs are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with project requirements, industry standards, and regulatory codes. The position requires strong leadership, technical expertise, and the ability to manage multidisciplinary interfaces while providing guidance to design teams and supporting project execution through construction and commissioning. Experience in Water Treatment facilities and Cogeneration (Cogen) power plants is highly desirable to support specialized project requirements in these fields.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Develop electrical engineering design plans, scope of work, deliverables, and schedules.
• Ensure electrical design outputs align with project technical, financial, and scheduling objectives.
• Track and monitor progress of electrical design activities to maintain timely completion.
• Oversee coordination between electrical design and other disciplines (civil, mechanical, I&C) for seamless integration.
• Manage engineering interfaces with procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to prevent bottlenecks.
• Lead and mentor electrical design teams, including internal staff and external consultants / contractors.
• Provide technical guidance, direction, and performance feedback to support team development.
• Identify and mitigate engineering risks related to cost, timeline, and quality.
• Ensure designs comply with international standards, codes, and client specifications.
• Implement design reviews, safety checks, and quality assurance processes to maintain high standards.
• Act as the primary point of contact for electrical design discussions with clients and stakeholders.
• Provide regular updates and progress reports to management, highlighting milestones and challenges.
• Evaluate and manage changes to electrical design scope, assessing technical, cost, and schedule impacts.
• Identify opportunities to optimize electrical designs for cost savings without compromising safety or performance.
• Prepare technical specifications and support vendor evaluation processes.
• Collaborate with vendors and suppliers to ensure materials and equipment meet design requirements and schedules.
• Support construction teams in resolving electrical design-related issues during execution.
• Assist in commissioning activities, ensuring all electrical systems are tested, validated, and compliant prior to client handover.
• Apply specialized knowledge in electrical systems for Water Treatment facilities (pumps, motors, MCCs, PLC integration, and distribution systems).
• Contribute expertise in Cogeneration projects, including power generation, electrical balance of plant, and integration of heat and power systems.
