Job Description

About Us

We are transforming construction through revolutionary Modular Building Technology (MBT) . Inspired by empowering individuals through personal, high-quality building, our mission is to create spaces that are intuitive, resilient, and rapidly deployed. We operate with an Intense and Scrappy ethos, pursuing Scale in everything we do, guided by our MBT Focus to Make Something People Love . This is where factory-born precision meets the seamless assembly of a LEGO system.

Our Culture
  • Open & Curious: We constantly question "the way its always been done" to find better modular solutions.
  • Humble & Resilient: We ship fast, learn from challenges, and stay grounded in our pursuit of excellence.
  • Optimistic about the Future: We believe modular technology is the answer to global housing and infrastructure needs.
The Role: Post-Contract Electrical & ELV Design Lead

We are seeking a detail-oriented and commercially-minded Electrical & ELV Design Engineer to join our design team. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between initial concepts and physical reality for our Modular and Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) projects.

In this role, you will focus on the post-contract phase , transforming awarded projects into precise, cost-effective, and constructible designs. You will play a key role in ensuring technical excellence while directly contributing to project profitability through smart engineering and material management.

Key Responsibilities 1. Technical Design & Engineering
  • Develop comprehensive Electrical Design Basis Reports (DBR) tailored to modular and volumetric construction requirements.
  • Perform core engineering calculations, including power sizing, load schedules, voltage drop, and short circuit analysis .
  • Design detailed Power Distribution Systems , including LT (Low Tension) and HT (High Tension) paneling layouts and specifications.
  • Design integrated ELV (Extra-Low Voltage) Systems , including CCTV, Access Control, Fire Alarm, Data/Voice, and Building Management Systems (BMS).
  • Create and review high-quality Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) and detailed Shop Drawings for manufacturing and site installation.
2. Documentation & Procurement Support
  • Generate accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for all electrical and ELV components.
  • Review and provide Technical Approval for Purchases , ensuring that materials sourced by procurement meet project specifications and budget constraints.
  • Interface with vendors to evaluate technical submittals for specialized equipment (Transformers, DG sets, UPS, etc.).
3. Value Engineering & Profitability
  • Optimize designs to increase project profitability without compromising safety or quality.
  • Identify opportunities for modular pre-wiring and plug-and-play electrical systems to reduce on-site labor costs.
  • Monitor "Design vs. Actual" material consumption to prevent wastage.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience, preferably in PEB, Volumetric, or fast-track commercial construction.
  • Software Proficiency: Expert level in AutoCAD ; experience with Revit (BIM) or specialized electrical design software (like Ecodial or ETAP) is a strong plus.
  • Standards knowledge: Deep understanding of local and international electrical codes (e.g., IEC, NEC, BS standards).
  • Modular Focus: Understanding the unique constraints of volumetric construction (e.g., structural penetrations, transport vibrations, and inter-module connections).
