Job Description Job Title Electrical Design Engineer Department MEP Design Team Reporting Line Reports to: MEP Design Manager / Head of MEP Design Location: Cairo, Egypt (Design Back Office) Supporting: Head Office – Dubai, UAELevel of Seniority Mid-Senior Job Purpose The Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for developing and reviewing electrical system designs for projects executed through the Dubai-based main office, primarily serving clients and projects across the UAE and KSA markets. The role requires strong technical command of electrical design principles, Revit MEP/BIM-based workflows, and close coordination with multidisciplinary MEP teams to deliver accurate, code-compliant, and constructible designs within project timelines.
Key Responsibilities Develop electrical system designs including power distribution, lighting, low current (ELV) coordination, earthing and lightning protection, and fire alarm interfacing for commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects. Prepare and review electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, schedules, load calculations, and specifications in line with project standards and applicable codes (IEC, NEC, and local authority requirements such as DEWA, Dubai Civil Defense, Trakhees, SEC, and Saudi Building Code as applicable). Lead electrical modeling within Revit MEP, ensuring model accuracy, LOD compliance, and clash-free coordination with Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, and Plumbing/Fire Protection disciplines using Navisworks Manage. Perform electrical load calculations, cable sizing, voltage drop, and short-circuit studies, and translate outputs accurately into BIM models and design documentation. Coordinate with the Dubai head office design team, project managers, and clients to ensure alignment on design intent, project requirements, and delivery schedules. Review shop drawings, material submittals, and vendor data related to electrical systems and equipment for technical compliance. Support tender and proposal stages with technical input, quantity take-offs, and preliminary design where required. Ensure designs comply with applicable local authority regulations, international standards, and energy efficiency requirements (e.g., LEED, Estidama, Al Sa'fat where relevant). Coordinate with junior electrical engineers and BIM modelers, providing technical guidance and quality checks on their outputs. Participate in internal design reviews, QA/QC checks, and multidisciplinary coordination (clash detection) meetings. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of electrical design technologies, BIM standards, and regional code updates relevant to UAE and KSA markets.
Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Professional certification/affiliation is a plus (e.g., PMP, LEED AP, IEEE membership).
Required Experience5 to 7 years of progressive experience in electrical design engineering, with a strong track record on projects in the UAE and KSA markets. Proven experience working within an MEP design consultancy or design-focused back-office setup supporting projects in the Gulf region. Experience across various project types (commercial, residential, hospitality, mixed-use, or infrastructure) is preferred.
Required Technical Skills Expert-level knowledge of Autodesk Revit MEP and Navisworks Manage for electrical modeling, coordination, and clash detection. Strong working knowledge of Auto CAD for legacy or supplementary drawing needs. Solid understanding of UAE and KSA local codes, authority approval processes, and regional electrical design standards. Proficiency in electrical calculation software (e.g., ETAP, DIALux, Amtech, or equivalent) for load, lighting, and protection studies. Familiarity with BIM execution plans (BEP), LOD requirements, and common data environment (CDE) platforms (e.g., BIM 360/ACC). Strong technical report writing and specification development skills.
Key Competencies Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent coordination and communication skills, particularly in a cross-office (Cairo–Dubai) working model. Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously. Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to design quality and code compliance. Collaborative mindset with the ability to guide and support junior team members. Fluency in English (written and spoken); Arabic is an advantage.
Working Conditions Based in the Cairo design back office, working in direct support of live projects managed from the Dubai head office. May require occasional coordination calls aligned with Dubai/KSA working hours. Occasional travel to Dubai or project sites in KSA may be required, based on project needs.
