Electrical design manager

Job Purpose:

The Electrical Design Manager will lead the electrical engineering design function within our EPC/EPCM framework. Leveraging your extensive consultancy background, you will bridge the gap between conceptual design and on-site execution. You will be responsible for technical excellence, value engineering, and ensuring all electrical systems are compliant with Singapore’s stringent regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design Management & Technical Leadership

• Lead the electrical design team in developing and reviewing SLDs (Single Line Diagrams), layout drawings, and technical specifications for large-scale industrial, commercial, or data center projects.
• Perform Value Engineering (VE): Review consultant designs to identify cost-saving opportunities and improve "constructability" without compromising safety or performance.
• Oversee the integration of Electrical systems with Mechanical and Fire services to ensure a seamless M&E package.

1. Regulatory Compliance & Coordination

• Ensure all designs comply with Singapore Standards (SS 638, SS 650, SS 555) and BCA Green Mark requirements.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for external Consultants, Clients, and relevant authorities (EMA, SP PowerGrid, FSSD).
• Lead the BIM/Revit coordination process from an electrical perspective, ensuring "clash-free" digital models before site mobilization.

1. Procurement & Construction Support

• Provide technical evaluation of vendors and subcontractors during the tender and procurement phase.
• Resolve complex technical issues surfacing during the construction and commissioning phases (T&C).
• Review and approve shop drawings and Material Submission Forms (MSF).

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (Recognized by the Professional Engineers Board (PEB) Singapore).
• Experience: Minimum 7 years of experience in Electrical Design, with at least 5 years specifically within a Consultancy firm is a “MUST”
• Expertise: Deep understanding of HT/LT power distribution, standby generators, UPS systems, and ELV integration.
• Proficiency in design software such as AutoCAD, Revit (BIM), and electrical calculation tools (e.g., Amtech or ETAP).
• Certifications: Possession of an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) Grade 7/8 (Technician/Engineer) or being a Chartered/Professional Engineer (PE) is highly advantageous.
• Mobility : As when needed

• The "Consultant-Contractor" Mindset: Ability to translate complex engineering theories into practical, on-site solutions.
• Communication: Strong negotiation skills to manage expectations between the client (who wants everything) and the project manager (who has a budget).
• Leadership: Proven track record of mentoring junior engineers and leading a design department.

Why Join an EPC/EPCM Leader?

Unlike a pure consultancy, here you will see your designs come to life. You will be part of the full lifecycle—from the first sketch to the final "flip of the switch."
