High Voltage System Designer

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Design Engineer to join our team. As an Electrical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing electrical systems and developing electrical schematics, single line diagrams, load calculations, cable sizing, earthing and lightning protection systems, control panel layouts, motor control centers, power control centers, Variable Frequency Drives, Programmable Logic Controller panels, conduit routing, and wire schedules.

• Work in the areas of water systems and treatment plant electrical evaluation, modelling and design, master planning and project delivery.
• Design electrical systems and role out plans for typical applications being data centres, medical water systems, municipal, industrial, Pharma, and recycling water systems with payback evaluations.
• Coordinating and adjusting the work effort within the project team to ensure project work is completed on schedule and within allocated budget.

1. Designing electrical systems and developing electrical schematics, single line diagrams (SLDs), load calculations, cable sizing, earthing and lightning protection systems, control panel layouts, motor control centers (MCCs), power control centers (PCCs), Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) panels, conduit routing, and wire schedules.
2. Coordinating with other engineering disciplines (process, mechanical, civil, instrumentation) to ensure integrated design and smooth project execution.
3. Preparing detailed technical specifications, datasheets, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), and reports for procurement and construction.
4. Reviewing vendor documents, ensuring compliance with specifications, and providing technical support during procurement and installation.
5. Ensuring all electrical designs adhere to relevant national and international standards like IS/IEC, NFPA, IEEE, NEC, UL, CSA, NFA.
6. Providing support during installation, testing, and commissioning phases, and troubleshooting electrical issues.
7. Identifying and proposing cost-saving measures and working within project timelines and budgets.
8. Exploring and implementing new technologies to improve system efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
9. Promoting and enforcing safe working practices and adhering to HSE regulations and industry standards.

Industrial plants use high-power machinery, requiring specifically designed electrical systems to handle the load without compromising safety or continuity. Seamless integration with control systems, automation technologies like programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and robotics to streamline production processes. Strong understanding of electrical power systems, control systems, instrumentation, and automation, preferably within the water treatment industry.

• Degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum 7 years' Experience in designing electrical systems is essential with design emphasis on the Data Centre, Industrial, Municipal and Pharma sectors being an advantage
• Software Proficiency: Electrical design tools (e.g., ETAP, Power Factory)
• Strong communication skills as the position will require presentations to clients.
• Must exhibit strong project management skills.
• Experience working in a multi-disciplinary team in developing conceptual, feasibility, and final designs for a wide variety of water treatment projects.
• Familiarity with relevant electrical codes, standards, and regulations.
• Ability to analyse complex electrical system requirements, perform calculations, identify potential issues, and propose effective solutions.
• Strong detail-oriented work style, and an accommodating and proactive attitude.

Experience with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation) would be an advantage. Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certification is also an added advantage.
