Department: BA (Building Automation )
Location: Base location Mumbai
Salary: 3 to 7 LPA
Job Summary
The Project Engineer – Lighting Control Systems is responsible for overseeing the technical design, execution of smart lighting control networks. This role bridges the gap between design intent and on-site deployment, ensuring systems are delivered on schedule, within budget, and compliant with relevant energy codes and electrical standards.
Key Responsibilities
1. System Design & Technical Review
- Review client specifications, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), electrical risers, and wiring diagrams to define control intents.
- Develop detailed system architecture diagrams, panel schedules, control schematics, and device layout drawings using AutoCAD or Bluebeam.
- Select appropriate hardware components including panels, dimming modules, sensors, gateways, and user keypads.
- Map lighting loads to appropriate dimming protocols like DALI, DALI-2, 0-10V, DMX, phase dimming, and BACnet.
2. Project Coordination & Execution
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact between the project team, MEP consultants, electrical contractors, and AV/BMS integration teams.
- Manage project timelines, materials tracking, and delivery milestones for all control hardware.
- Monitor on-site installation work to ensure electrical contractors strictly follow submittals and wiring guidelines.
- Resolve complex on-site technical issues, design changes, and spatial constraints seamlessly.
3. Handover & Compliance
- Generate formal handover documentation including As-Built drawings, programming backups, and system operation manuals.
- Ensure all installations adhere strictly to local energy codes (e.g., NEC, ASHRAE, IES) and safety regulations.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Instrumentation, or a related domain.
- 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in project execution, specifically involving commercial or architectural lighting controls.
Technical Proficiencies
- Strong fluency with design software like AutoCAD and Bluebeam.
- Practical familiarity with top-tier control platforms (e.g., Lutron, Dynalite, Helvar, Crestron, Schneider Electric).
- Deep functional understanding of network physical layers and protocols (DALI, DMX512, KNX, Modbus, TCP/IP).
- Ability to troubleshoot complex field wiring loops and network data drops using standard test meters.
Soft Skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills to articulate complex technical ideas clearly.
- Proven capability to manage multiple active project sites under rigid deadlines.
