• Support planning and sizing of infrastructure for high electrical loads, rigging and event‑related equipment, ensuring suitable capacity, redundancy and flexibility for changing operational needs.

• Lead technical coordination meetings with consultants, contractors and suppliers to resolve design and site interface issues.

• Monitor site installation works for quality, safety and adherence to approved designs, highlighting and resolving non‑conformances.

• Plan, oversee and witness testing and commissioning activities for Electrical and ELV systems, ensuring integration with other building services and readiness for operations.

• Contribute to value engineering and optimisation exercises, identifying opportunities for efficiency, cost savings and improved lifecycle performance without compromising safety or reliability.

• Provide technical support to procurement and commercial teams in evaluating bids, variations and claims related to Electrical and ELV scopes.

• Prepare and maintain technical reports, progress updates and handover documentation for Electrical and ELV systems.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. Power Systems, Building Services, Project Management) is an advantage.

• Professional registration or chartered status (e.g. CEng, PE or equivalent) is desirable.

• Minimum 15+ years of experience in Electrical and ELV design, installation and management on large, complex building or infrastructure projects.

• Strong experience on major multi‑disciplinary developments such as exhibition or convention centres, airports, mixed‑use developments, healthcare, data centres or similarly complex facilities.

• In‑depth knowledge of medium‑ and low‑voltage distribution, emergency power systems, critical loads, earthing, lightning protection and integration with mechanical and ICT systems.

• Proven experience managing ELV systems including fire alarm, security, CCTV, access control, public address/voice alarm, data/telecom and related technologies.

• Solid understanding of relevant international and local standards, authority requirements and approval processes.

• Demonstrated ability to review and interpret complex design documents, perform technical due diligence and resolve design and site issues effectively.

• Experience in testing, commissioning and systems integration for Electrical and ELV works on large projects.

• Familiarity with BIM‑based coordination and common design tools/software used for Electrical and ELV systems.

• Strong communication, coordination and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams, client representatives and contractors.
