Senior Electrical Site Engineer

Job Code: 221/001/142
Industry: Water Treatment

Job Brief:
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Electrical Site Engineer to lead the electrical execution of water and wastewater treatment projects, particularly on new/greenfield sites. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience across the complete electrical scope, from design coordination through site installation, testing, and commissioning. This role requires a site-focused professional with proven leadership experience on industrial or infrastructure projects, rather than residential buildings, O&M-only roles, or panel workshop–based work.

Job Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage all electrical site activities for greenfield water and wastewater treatment projects, including setting up electrical systems and networks from initial site development through commissioning.
• Review, coordinate, and approve Electrical Technical Submittals, including Single Line Diagrams, Schematic Diagrams, BOQs, Cable Lists, Load Schedules, and Power & Lighting Layouts, ensuring full alignment with civil, mechanical, and instrumentation scopes.
• Supervise installation, routing, glanding, termination, and testing of LV electrical systems, including panels, lighting, earthing & lightning protection, UPS, fire systems, and instrumentation interfaces.
• Lead and review FAT, SAT, Megger, Continuity, Loop, and Functional Testing, ensuring compliance with project specifications and quality standards.
• Provide technical leadership to site engineers, supervisors, subcontractors, and technicians, ensuring safe execution and timely progress of works.
• Resolve site-level technical issues and ensure field execution strictly aligns with approved drawings and engineering standards.
• Manage supplier coordination, including RFQ issuance, technical evaluations, material approvals, and site-related electrical procurement activities.
• Oversee and coordinate PLC, SCADA, and control panel integration in collaboration with instrumentation and automation teams.
• Coordinate closely with project managers, consultants, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure seamless project execution.
• Review and finalize Operation & Maintenance documentation for project handover (excluding routine maintenance activities).
• Ensure strict adherence to HSE policies, local authority regulations, and industry best practices for electrical works.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers and draftsmen in both design coordination and site execution activities.
