Overview
HFN Investments is looking for an experienced ELV Design Lead to support the delivery of a landmark international hospitality project in Lagos.
We are seeking a proven ELV/ICT design authority who can take ownership of low-voltage systems integration from technical design review and procurement through testing, validation, and successful hotel operation readiness.
This role requires more than ELV familiarity.
We need someone who has designed, integrated, and proven complex hotel technology ecosystems.
What You’ll Own
✔ Lead ELV design and integration across key hotel systems including:
• Guest Room Management System (GRMS)
- Structured cabling infrastructure
- Admin & guest networks
- HSIA/Wi-Fi systems
• IPTV & PABX
- Electronic locks & access control
- CCTV & VMS platforms
- Digital signage and wayfinding
- Fire alarm interfaces
- Server room infrastructure
- ✔ Own system integration strategy, ensuring seamless connectivity between PMS, GRMS, electronic locks, and BMS.
- ✔ Lead ELV procurement activities including RFQ development, vendor evaluation, technical reviews, and selection recommendations.
- ✔ Coordinate across MEP, interiors, access control, door hardware, ceilings, finishes, and specialist vendors.
- ✔ Validate integration through witnessed testing and structured technical evidence.
What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiable)
- The ideal candidate will have:
- ✅ 8+ years’ experience in ELV / ICT design and delivery
- ✅ Delivered 3+ hospitality fit-out projects, including at least one international hotel brand
- ✅ Strong BMS & GRMS integration experience (BACnet/IP required)
- ✅ Proven GRMS-to-lock integration delivery experience
- ✅ Structured cabling expertise (ISO/IEC 11801)
- ✅ CCTV delivery experience on managed VMS platforms
- ✅ Access control experience (ASSA ABLOY, dormakaba or equivalent systems)
- ✅ IPTV, PABX, networking and hospitality technology experience
- ✅ Working knowledge of EN 15232, BS 5839-1, EN 54, IEC 60364 / BS 7671
- ✅ Experience supporting procurement, tender reviews, and technical vendor selection
- Experience delivering projects in Nigeria or West Africa will be an added advantage.
- You’ll succeed in this role if you:
- Think like an owner, not just a designer
- Challenge vendor assumptions and prove integration through testing
- Can create clear technical evidence for decision-making
- Understand international hotel brand standards and guest technology expectations
- If you are ready to play a key role in delivering a high-standard hospitality project, we would love to hear from you.
