• Establish grounding, bonding, lightning protection, and surge protection design consistent with international and national standards.

Standards, Compliance & Documentation

• Ensure electrical designs comply with local codes (NEC / Pakistan Electrical Rules), NFPA, IEEE, IEC, and data center best-practice frameworks.

• Create comprehensive design documents, specifications, and BOQs for tendering and contractor engagement.

• Review vendor drawings and specifications for compliance to project standards and design intent.

• Maintain up-to-date electrical design libraries and standard templates.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with MEP, civil, IT infrastructure, and commissioning teams to ensure integrated and constructible solutions.

• Provide technical support to project managers, contractors, and procurement teams during design and execution phases.

• Attend project coordination meetings and represent electrical design scope.

Vendor & Contractor Management

• Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment suppliers and validate technical proposals.

• Review and approve submittals for electrical equipment (generators, UPS, switchgear, transformers, breakers, cables, distribution boards).

• Support benchmarking and value engineering initiatives to optimize cost without compromising reliability.

Quality Assurance & Risk Management

• Perform design reviews, risk assessments, and HAZOP for electrical systems.

• Identify design gaps and recommend mitigations to technical and operational risks.

• Develop and enforce electrical design checklists and QA/QC standards.
