• Collaborate with project managers, architects, and other engineering disciplines to define project scope, objectives, schedules, and budgets.
• Monitor project progress, address technical issues, and ensure that project milestones are achieved.
• Ensure all project deliverables are completed according to the design specifications, quality standards, and client expectations.

Client Relations and Stakeholder Communication:

• Act as the main point of contact for clients, ensuring that their requirements and expectations are met throughout the design process.
• Lead design reviews, project meetings, and discussions with clients, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and resolve any issues.
• Develop and present project proposals, including cost estimates, timelines, and design solutions to clients and senior management.

Quality Control and Compliance:

• Ensure all electrical designs comply with safety regulations, codes, and industry standards, including environmental and sustainability considerations.
• Implement and maintain quality control processes to ensure that all designs are accurate, reliable, and cost-effective.
• Perform design and constructability reviews to identify and mitigate potential risks during the project lifecycle.

Innovation and Process Improvement:

• Stay up to date with the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices in electrical engineering and design.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements, cost reduction, and the implementation of new technologies to improve project outcomes.
• Promote sustainable design practices and innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and contribute to environmentally responsible practices.

Budget and Resource Management:

• Oversee the preparation of electrical engineering budgets and manage the allocation of resources for design projects.
• Ensure that design projects remain within financial constraints, making recommendations for cost-saving measures while maintaining quality.
• Review and approve purchase orders for electrical equipment and materials, ensuring that procurement is in line with project specifications and timelines.

Risk Management and Issue Resolution:

• Identify and mitigate risks related to electrical design, including technical, safety, and environmental risks.
• Resolve any design-related issues that arise during the construction phase or post-installation.
• Ensure that appropriate risk management strategies are in place to prevent project delays or budget overruns.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Ensure the accurate and timely preparation of all design documentation, including drawings, specifications, reports, and progress reports.
• Review and approve design documentation and ensure compliance with project requirements and regulatory standards.
• Prepare and present regular status reports to senior management on project progress, key challenges, and project outcomes.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. A Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a specialized field is preferred.
• Experience: 10+ years of experience in electrical design engineering, with at least 5 years in a managerial or leadership role.
• Skills:
