Who We Are
Founded in 1978, Al Marwan Group is a diversified organization serving the construction, heavy machinery, Oil & Gas, real estate, developments and Hospitality sectors across the GCC.
The Group operates through multiple business units and subsidiaries, delivering integrated solutions supported by strong operational expertise and a well-established regional presence.
Job Summary
The Electrical Design Engineer (Buildings) is responsible for the technical design, engineering calculations, and documentation of comprehensive electrical and extra-low voltage (ELV) systems for a variety of building projects (residential, commercial, and mixed-use).
Operating under the guidance of a Senior Engineer or Design Office Manager, the candidate will take ownership of medium-scale design packages from concept through to tender-ready documentation.
A key focus of this role is ensuring strict compliance with local utility regulations (e.g., SEWA, DEWA, ADDC) and local Civil Defense fire and life safety codes, while achieving seamless, clash-free coordination within a multi-disciplinary engineering and architectural design team.
Key Responsibilities
- The key duties and responsibilities of the Electrical Design Engineer include, but are not limited to:
- Design & Documentation: Prepare detailed layouts, containment routing, schematic diagrams, and Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for internal/external lighting, small power, low voltage (LV) distribution, lightning protection, and earthing systems.
- Engineering Calculations: Conduct accurate electrical load estimations, maximum demand calculations, cable sizing, short-circuit analyses, and voltage drop calculations.
- Lighting Simulation: Create point-by-point indoor, outdoor, and emergency lighting simulations using DIALux/DIALux evo to verify lux level compliance, uniformity, and energy efficiency targets.
- ELV Systems Coordination: Assist in or directly handle the basic design and integration of Extra-Low Voltage systems, including fire alarm, CCTV, access control, ICT structured cabling, and Central Emergency Battery systems.
- Interdisciplinary Coordination: Actively participate in Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination reviews to detect, track, and resolve spatial clashes with HVAC, plumbing, structural, and architectural elements.
- Authority Approvals: Prepare technical submission packages, load schedules, and drawings for compliance reviews and approval by municipal bodies and local utilities.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
- Experience: 2 to 5 years of proven design office experience specifically within building services consultancy, architectural firms, or the technical design department of a main contractor.
- BIM & CAD Software Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Autodesk Revit (MEP) for 3D modeling and extraction, alongside advanced proficiency in AutoCAD.
- Technical Software: High proficiency in DIALux/DIALux evo, and familiarity with electrical analysis tools (such as ETAP, Amtech/Trimble, or advanced MS Excel calculation models).
- Codes & Standards: Solid foundational knowledge of regional utility regulations (e.g., SEWA/DEWA/ADDC regulations) and international standards like BS 7671 or IEC.
- Professional Credentials: Eligibility for or active membership in the local Society of Engineers (or equivalent municipal engineering registration) is highly advantageous.
- Core Competencies: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, proactive approach to multi-disciplinary coordination, and clear technical communication skills.
