- Support solutions involving power distribution systems, MCCs, control panels, instrumentation, PLC/control systems, and electrical auxiliaries
- Develop preliminary designs, single-line diagrams, load schedules, equipment specifications, and cable schedules
- Review customer specifications, electrical schematics, drawings, data sheets, and international standards
- Support equipment selection across voltage levels, protection, controls, instrumentation, and electrical interfaces
- Prepare technical documentation and specifications to enable accurate project costing
- Coordinate cost estimates for electrical equipment and systems
- Produce detailed technical and commercial proposals
- Liaise with electrical equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and specialist controls/automation partners
- Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Project Management, and Supply Chain teams
