Electrical Engineer (Design)

About the role

KEO, an AEP/PMCM design and project management consultancy, is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join its Design Team in Jordan. The role covers electrical building-services design for major projects, from concept through detailed design and tender documentation, supporting hospitality developments and high-rise towers. It suits a technically focused design engineer who develops electrical designs and calculations, rather than a project management or PMC background.

Key responsibilities

• Develop electrical designs from concept and schematic design through detailed design and tender documentation.
• Design LV power distribution systems, including load estimation, equipment sizing, single-line diagrams, distribution boards and associated infrastructure.
• Perform electrical calculations: load schedules, demand, cable sizing, voltage drop, short-circuit and protection coordination.
• Design internal and external lighting, including lighting calculations, emergency lighting and lighting control systems.
• Design earthing, bonding and lightning protection systems.
• Support emergency and standby power systems, including generators and UPS systems.
• Develop ELV and low-current system requirements and prepare drawings, layouts, schematics, schedules and specifications.
• Coordinate with mechanical, plumbing, fire & life safety, structural and architectural disciplines.
• Work in a BIM environment using Revit MEP and Navisworks, and review BIM models for coordination issues.
• Take ownership of assigned electrical design packages and ensure compliance with local authority requirements and international standards.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• 6-9 years of professional experience, mainly in electrical design for building projects.
• Hands-on building-services electrical design experience, with a background in hospitality, hotels, resorts, high-rise towers or similar complex buildings.
• Experience progressing projects through concept, schematic and detailed design stages.
• Previous experience in a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy or design practice is strongly preferred.

Required skills

• Revit MEP and AutoCAD proficiency, in a BIM-based environment.
• Navisworks familiarity.
• Advantageous: ETAP, Amtech/Trimble ProDesign, DIALux or equivalent electrical and lighting calculation software.
• Knowledge of IEC, BS, NFPA and other international standards and codes.
• Ability to prepare single-line diagrams, load and equipment schedules and design calculations.
