Electrical Design Engineer (DM / DEWA / Trakhees Approved)

Company Description MEP LEADERS ENGINEERING SERVICES L.L.C. is a premier engineering services firm based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, specializing in integrated Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP), and Fire Safety & Protection Engineering systems solutions. Backed by deep industry expertise, we deliver comprehensive, highly professional project designs executed entirely through advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM/Revit) and AutoCAD software. The company focuses on delivering compliant, efficient, and cost-effective designs aligned with local authority standards, supporting projects across the full lifecycle—spanning initial feasibility studies, authority approvals, detailed design, value engineering, advanced BIM coordination, site supervision, and final handover. Serving high-end residential towers, luxury villa compounds, commercial mixed-use developments, healthcare facilities, and heavy industrial warehouses, MEP LEADERS focuses on creating zero-clash BIM models, highly optimized systems, and cost-effective, value-engineered designs that reduce expenses without compromising safety or performance. We collaborate closely with owners, developers, architects, and contractors across the UAE, driven by core values of technical excellence, integrity, transparency, and a client-centric approach to deliver code-compliant, sustainable, and practical engineering solutions. Role Description The Electrical Design Engineer (DM / DEWA / Trakhees Approved) is a full-time, on-site role based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is a high-responsibility position where the engineer is expected to work independently as a stand-alone professional, taking full ownership of comprehensive building electrical engineering solutions across the full project lifecycle—from concept and detailed design to installation oversight, site supervision, hand-over, and final commissioning. The role involves developing full electrical building services—including load calculations, power distribution, lighting, and low-voltage (LV) & structured cabling systems (Telephone, Data/Internet, Telecom, Fire Alarm, Voice Evacuation, CCTV, Access Control, Intercom, and Home Automation/BMS)—in strict accordance with DM, DEWA, Trakhees, and UAE Civil Defense codes. Daily work includes preparing high-precision technical shop drawings, conducting advanced multidisciplinary BIM coordination to ensure zero-clash models, managing fast-track authority approvals, executing cost-effective value engineering, and providing technical site supervision to guarantee quality assurance and safety during installation and authority inspection stages. Key Responsibilities • Develop complete electrical designs from scratch (from concept design stage up to final IFC and shop drawings) for various building types. • Lead site supervision, field engineering, and quality assurance inspections for electrical installations to ensure full compliance with approved design drawings, project specifications, and safety standards. • Design comprehensive building electrical systems (Power, Lighting, Low Voltage, Telecom, Data, Telephone, Lightning Protection, and Grounding systems). • Prepare and validate detailed design drawings, shop drawings, technical specifications, panel schedules, and single-line diagrams (SLD). • Manage, submit, and secure fast-track approvals from local authorities across all UAE Emirates (DEWA, Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, DCD, DDA, etc.). • Perform advanced engineering calculations and validate electrical systems compliance using industry-standard calculation software. • Coordinate seamlessly with Mechanical and Architectural disciplines to deliver zero-clash BIM models and drawings. Qualifications & Requirements (Strictly Mandatory) • Design & Supervision Expertise: Demonstrated ability to take a project from a blank sheet (Concept) through detailed design to final execution drawings, combined with strong hands-on experience in on-site engineering supervision and inspection. • Software Mastery: Advanced & Expert proficiency in Autodesk Revit (BIM) for full multidisciplinary coordination, and AutoCAD for high-precision engineering drawings. • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. • Experience: 5 to 10 years of solid experience in MEP design, technical office work, and site supervision within the UAE. • Authority Approvals: Must be officially approved and registered by Dubai Municipality (DM) and DEWA. Trakhees registration is highly beneficial. • Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of DEWA regulations, Telecom/Du/Etisalat standards, UAE Fire & Life Safety Codes, international codes (IEC, NEC), and green building regulations (Al Sa'fat). • Skills: Excellent technical communication, strong coordination skills, and a demonstrated ability to optimize system performance and lead projects independently under tight deadlines.
