    • Stay current with emerging electrical technologies, energy-efficient solutions, and best practices specific to data centres and mission-critical facilities.
    • Support the integration of renewable energy systems, UPS, and electrical infrastructure redundancy in line with latest standards.
    • Provide guidance on the application of appropriate electrical design software, including scripting for automation to improve design efficiency and accuracy.
    • Ensure cost-effective electrical design solutions by working closely with cost estimators, ensuring budgets are maintained without compromising quality.
    • Lead and participate in design coordination meetings, ensuring electrical systems align with project goals and industry standards.
    • Ensure that all electrical design documentation are properly maintained and meet quality control standards.
    • Drive continuous learning and professional development within the electrical design team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
    • Contribute to the virtual construction of electrical systems in data centres and other critical infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with local and international standards.
    • Maintain accurate project records in compliance with internal quality assurance systems.
    • Act as the single point of responsibility for projects, main point of contact for clients, providing technical guidance and solutions throughout project lifecycles.
    • Identify and pursue opportunities for new work with current and prospective clients.
    • Support business development efforts, including proposal preparation, client presentations, and project planning to align with client needs.
    • Possess a BSc/BEng/BTech/BTechEng in Electrical Engineering or similar engineering discipline, preferably with a completed relevant Masters degree.
    • Be professionally registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa or similar affiliation.
    • Have a minimum of 10 years of relevant consulting experience in the built environment and with experience in data centres as an Electrical Engineer.
    • Display strong proficiency with Revit, ACC, Navisworks and other related digital coordination tools.
    • Show knowledge of various MEP simulation programs as well as proficiency in prime discipline programs.
    • Have a keen interest in BIM, inclusive of the metadata information associated with designs produced.
    • Be client facing with strong presentation skills.
    • Demonstrate commercial and financial awareness and management of projects and fees.
    • Exhibit the ability to work autonomously, as part of a wider team, and leading a team.
    • Show a willingness to learn and improve delivery systems.
    • Have a strong interest in working on innovative and complex projects.
