Electrical Design Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Electrical Design Engineer to join our expanding team at a leading engineering consulting firm based in Cairo, Egypt. In this role, you will focus on high-profile, complex commercial and residential projects located in Saudi Arabia.

We are looking for a professional who doesn't just treat BIM tools as a drafting mechanism; we need someone with a deep, fundamental understanding of Revit who leverages the software to actively solve engineering clashes, optimize spatial design, and create innovative technical solutions. You will be responsible for creating high-quality electrical designs from concept through detailed design, ensuring full compliance with international and regional design codes. Hands-on experience delivering projects at a minimum of LOD 350 is strictly required.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Electrical Design & Analysis: Conduct complex electrical engineering analysis, load calculations, and produce comprehensive detailed drawings, specifications, and Bills of Quantities (BOQ).
• Well-Rounded Systems Expertise: Design and oversee complete building services electrical systems, including Power Systems, Lighting, and ELV packages (Communications & Security) tailored for large-scale residential compounds, high-rise buildings, and commercial developments.
• Advanced Revit Modeling & LOD 350+ Solutions: Utilize Revit at an expert level to drive engineering solutions. Model and detail electrical systems to a minimum of LOD 350, ensuring precise cross-discipline clash detection/resolution, accurate containment routing, and that elements include specific connection and detailing data necessary for constructability.
• Project Lifecycle Ownership: Drive electrical designs seamlessly through all project phases—from early-stage conceptual development and schematic design to final detailed construction packages and IFC (Issued for Construction) drawings.
• Stakeholder & Consultant Coordination: Coordinate directly with project managers, lead engineers, regional clients, and architecture/mechanical teams to resolve design conflicts, align project scope, and ensure timely submissions that respect both budget and quality
• Value Engineering & Optimization: Analyze design alternatives to provide cost-effective, energy-efficient, and sustainable engineering solutions without compromising on international safety standards
• Material & Specification Selection: Review technical specifications, select appropriate electrical equipment, and evaluate materials to ensure alignment with Saudi project requirements and environmental conditions

Qualifications and Skills

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineerg
• Years of Experience: From 5-10 years of progressive experience as an Electrical Engineer within the construction/design industry, ideally within a consulting firm environment.
• Sector Expertise: Proven track record working on high-end commercial and residential construction packages.
• Regional Experience: Strong experience working on Gulf/Middle East projects, with a solid grasp of regional building codes, climatic design factors, and local authority guidelines.
• BIM Proficiency: Proven track record of working on live BIM environments with a minimum requirement of LOD 350 experience. Must display a strong capability to problem-solve and engineer through the Revit environment, rather than just using it as a drafting tool.
• Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and the MS Office suite is mandatory, alongside industry-standard calculation software (e.g., Dialux, ETAP)
• Technical Writing & Standards: Excellent capability in drafting technical reports, design criteria, and equipment specifications. Highly knowledgeable in internationally accepted codes (IEC, NEC, SBC).
• Soft Skills: Strong critical judgment, critical thinking, achievement orientation, and a collaborative mindset capable of driving solutions in a fast-paced consulting office.
