Electrical Engineer -MEP Data Center

Role Purpose

Electrical Site Execution

• Manage daily electrical site activities for data center delivery works.
• Coordinate containment, cable trays, trunking, conduits, panels, DBs, isolators, earthing, bonding, and equipment power connections.
• Ensure installations comply with approved drawings, project specifications, method statements, and quality requirements.
• Coordinate electrical works with HVAC, mechanical, BMS, fire alarm, ELV, architectural, civil, and structural works.
• Check routing, segregation, access, support systems, cable bending radius, labeling, clearances, and installation quality.
• Identify site clashes, missing information, wrong installations, access issues, and sequencing problems.

Equipment and Interfaces

• Coordinate electrical requirements for HVAC equipment, pumps, control panels, BMS panels, sensors, actuators, and main MEP equipment.
• Verify power availability, isolator locations, containment routes, cable access, earthing points, and control cable interfaces.
• Coordinate with vendors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and the internal project team.

Drawings and Site Fixes

• Review IFC drawings, shop drawings, coordination drawings, single-line diagrams, load schedules, cable schedules, and equipment details.
• Mark up site changes for draftsman updates and raise RFIs for incomplete, conflicting, or unbuildable drawings.
• Support site sketches, redlines, as-built inputs, and technical clarification notes.
• Ensure site fixes are traceable and properly documented.

QA, Testing and Handover

• Prepare and support WIRs, MIRs, ITPs, checklists, inspection records, and consultant inspections.
• Verify material approvals before installation.
• Support continuity, insulation resistance, earthing, polarity, labeling, torque, and applicable pre-energization checks.
• Track snags, inspection comments, NCRs, and closure actions.
• Support handover documentation, as-built drawings, test records, certificates, O&M manuals, and system completion files.

Reporting and Coordination

• Prepare daily progress reports covering completed works, manpower, materials, blockers, risks, next actions, and photo evidence.
• Attend site coordination meetings and provide clear updates.
• Track open issues and push closure with subcontractors and internal teams.
• Escalate critical risks affecting HVAC, BMS, commissioning, energization, or handover.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline.
• 5–10 years of electrical site experience in MEP projects.
• Experience in data centers, telecom facilities, critical infrastructure, industrial buildings, hospitals, airports, or technical facilities is preferred.
• Strong understanding of electrical installation, containment, power distribution, earthing, equipment interfaces, inspection processes, and handover documentation.
• Driving license is mandatory.
• Equivalency certificate is required.

Required Technical Skills

• Electrical containment and cable routing.
• LV panels, DBs, isolators, earthing, bonding, and equipment power connections.
• Reading SLDs, load schedules, cable schedules, layouts, shop drawings, and coordination drawings.
• Electrical interface coordination with HVAC, BMS, fire alarm, ELV, and mechanical systems.
• Inspection documentation including WIRs, MIRs, ITPs, RFIs, NCRs, and snag tracking.
• MS Office proficiency and AutoCAD drawing review ability.
• AutoCAD editing is an advantage.

Compensation

• Pay is AED 8,000–12,000 per month.

Workplace

• Work location is in person.
• Immediate joiners only.
