The Senior Electrical Design Engineer leads the electrical design function for utility-scale and C&I solar PV projects across the full EPCC cycle. This role combines deep technical expertise in DC/AC system design with the ability to mentor junior engineers, coordinate cross-functional teams, and uphold the highest standards in drawing quality, documentation, and regulatory compliance. The successful candidate will be a key technical authority within the engineering team and a trusted point of contact for project stakeholders. Design & Technical Leadership Lead the production of comprehensive PV electrical design drawings covering DC and AC systems, from concept through to construction and as-built stages. Serve as the primary technical authority for DC/AC electrical system verification and design clarification, providing guidance to engineers and drafters. Review and approve all design drawings, specifications, and deliverables; initiate, track, and close out necessary revisions. Develop and review single-line diagrams, protection coordination studies, load flow analyses, and cable sizing calculations for solar PV projects. Ensure electrical designs comply with applicable Philippine standards (PEC, OSHS), IEC standards, and utility grid connection requirements. Drawing Management & Documentation Manage the preparation of tender, construction, shop, and as-built drawings in accordance with project milestones and client requirements. Oversee and enforce CAD standards across all projects; ensure a rigorous drawing revision and version control system is maintained. Lead the compilation and quality assurance of as-built documentation packages for handover. Coordinate with qualified persons (PRC-licensed engineers, local consultants) for drawing submissions, regulatory approvals, and permit applications. 3D Modelling & Coordination Produce and review 3-dimensional models using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or SketchUp to support design coordination, clash detection, and client presentations. Coordinate with civil/structural and mechanical disciplines to ensure integrated design solutions. Mentorship & Team Development Mentor and guide junior and mid-level electrical design engineers, reviewing their work and facilitating their technical growth. Contribute to standardisation efforts — developing design templates, calculation sheets, and reference guides for the engineering team. Support business development activities through technical input on proposals, tender submissions, and client presentations. Requirements Qualifications & Experience Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering; PRC licensed Professional Electrical Engineer (PEE) or Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) preferred. Minimum 5 years of experience in electrical design, with at least 3 years in solar PV or renewable energy EPCC projects. Demonstrated experience handling utility-scale (1 MWp and above) and C&I rooftop solar PV projects from design to commissioning. Solid understanding of Philippine Electrical Code (PEC), distribution utility interconnection standards, and DOE/ERC regulatory requirements for solar projects. Technical Skills Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD; working knowledge of SolidWorks and/or SketchUp. Experience with PV system design and simulation tools (e.g. PVsyst, Helioscope, or equivalent). Competence in electrical calculations including cable sizing, voltage drop, protection coordination, and energy yield analysis. Familiarity with SCADA, monitoring systems, and grid-tied inverter configurations is an advantage. Personal Attributes Strong leadership presence — able to take ownership of the design function and make sound technical decisions under pressure. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical matters clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders. Highly organised and detail-oriented, with exe
