Electrical Draughtsman

**About The Electrical Draughtsman Position**:
We are seeking a skilled and experienced **Electrical Draughtsman** to join our MEP team on a high-profile **Tunnel Construction MEP Fit-Out** project. The Electrical Draughtsman will be responsible for producing accurate and detailed technical drawings, layouts, and as-built plans for the electrical systems within the tunnel infrastructure. The role demands a deep understanding of tunnel-specific electrical design requirements, coordination with multidisciplinary teams, and adherence to stringent safety and technical standards. (**_Applicants who are immediately available or can start on short notice will be prioritized._**)

**Responsibilities**:

- **Drafting and Design Development**:

- Prepare detailed electrical drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, single-line diagrams, and layouts for tunnel lighting, power distribution, earthing, fire alarms, communication systems, and other electrical components of the MEP fit-out.
- Convert conceptual designs into detailed shop drawings, coordinating with the design and engineering teams.
- Ensure all drawings adhere to relevant standards, codes, and project specifications, including National Electrical Code (NEC), BS standards, and tunnel-specific regulations.
- ** Coordination with Engineering Teams**:

- Collaborate closely with the MEP Engineers, Electrical Engineers, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure designs are fully integrated with the civil, mechanical, and plumbing disciplines.
- Liaise with consultants to obtain approvals for drawings and ensure compliance with design guidelines.
- Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to incorporate vendor information and detailed product specifications into electrical drawings.
- ** Quality Assurance and Documentation**:

- Ensure all electrical drawings comply with local regulations, international standards, safety protocols, and client requirements.
- Perform quality checks on drawings to detect and correct any discrepancies before submission for approval.
- Contribute to risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) to ensure that all works are carried out safely and efficiently.
- Maintain proper filing and record-keeping of all electrical drawings and design documents in line with the company's document control procedures.
- Provide regular updates and reports to the Electrical Engineer and MEP Coordinator on drawing progress, milestones, and any issues encountered during the design process.
- **Field Coordination and Support**:

- Visit the tunnel construction site as required to gather precise measurements, verify installation progress, and update drawings based on real-time feedback from the site team.
- Develop and maintain as-built drawings to reflect the final installed condition of the electrical systems.
- Ensure all drawing revisions are updated and documented to reflect design modifications or on-site changes.
- ** BIM Integration**:

- Assisting BIM modeling and coordination for mechanical services, ensuring 3D models are compatible with overall project BIM requirements.
- Participate in clash detection and resolution meetings to ensure seamless MEP system integration.

**Requirements**:

- **Education**:

- Diploma in Electrical Engineering, AutoCAD Drafting, or a related field.
- Certification in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent drafting software is highly preferred.
- ** Experience**:

- Minimum 5 years of experience as an Electrical Draughtsman in the construction industry, with at least 2 years focused on **tunnel construction or infrastructure projects**.
- Hands-on experience with MEP fit-out works, particularly electrical systems within tunnels or underground structures.
- ** Technical Skills**:

- Proficient in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, and other relevant CAD software.
- Strong understanding of electrical systems design for infrastructure, including power distribution, lighting, control systems, and low voltage systems.
- Familiarity with tunnel-specific electrical components such as tunnel lighting, emergency lighting, ventilation systems, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and fire safety systems.
- Knowledge of relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC, IEC, BS, local regulations).
- ** Additional Requirements**:

- Willingness to work on-site during key project phases to coordinate drawings and provide support to site teams.
- Understanding of BIM (Building Information Modeling) processes is a plus.
- Ability to adapt to changes in design or project requirements during construction phases.
