3. Job Role: Electrical Design Team Leader 

1. Core Responsibilities 

 System Design 

• Design LT and HT electrical distribution systems for buildings or industrial projects. 
• Calculate and size transformers, DG sets, UPS, panels, cables, bus ducts, and switchgear. 
• Design lighting systems (indoor, outdoor, façade, emergency, escape lighting). 
• Develop earthing, bonding, and lightning protection systems. 
• Prepare load schedules, single-line diagrams (SLDs), and riser diagrams. 

Technical Calculations 

• Load calculations based on diversity, demand factors, and equipment ratings. 
• Short-circuit, voltage drop, and fault-level calculations. 
• Cable sizing based on current carrying capacity, temp correction factors, and installation methods. 
• DG synchronization and UPS autonomy calculations. 
• Energy demand estimation and power factor considerations. 

 Documentation & Drawings 

• Prepare electrical DBR (Design Basis Report). 
• Develop detailed electrical layouts—lighting, power, cable tray routing. 
• Generate BOQs, technical specifications, and tender deliverables. 
• Review vendor/shop drawings and ensure compliance with design. 

Coordination & Execution Support 

• Work with architects, HVAC, plumbing, IBMS, and fire teams for coordinated routing and system integration. 
• Attend project coordination meetings and resolve technical queries. 
• Conduct site inspections for electrical installations, cable laying, panel erection, earthing pits, and testing. 
• Support commissioning of electrical systems and participate in functional testing. 

2. Skills Required 

Technical Tools 

• AutoCAD, Revit/BIM, and electrical simulation tools (Etap,  Dialux). 
• Understanding of electrical codes and standards (IS, NBC, BIS, IEEE). 

Technical Knowledge 

• Strong understanding of power distribution, switchgear components, protection schemes. 
• Lighting design principles and Lux level calculations. 
• Renewable integration (solar PV), battery systems, and energy storage (optional but valuable). 

Soft Skills 

• Attention to detail and strong documentation skills. 
• Coordination with multidisciplinary teams. 
• Analytical and problem-solving approach. 
• Clear communication with contractors and clients. 

3. Compliance & Standards Knowledge 

• IS/IEC/IEEE standards 
• National Electrical Code (NEC India/NBC Part 8) 
• CEA regulations 
• DISCOM norms 
• Safety standards for electrical installations (IS 3043, IS 732, IS 1646, etc.) 

4. Typical Deliverables 

• Design Basis Report (DBR) 
• SLDs and electrical layouts 
• Panel schedules and cable schedules 
• Lighting and Lux calculation reports 
• Earthing & lightning protection layout 
• BOQs and technical specs 
• Tender drawings and documentation 
• Site inspection/commissioning reports 

5. Industries Where They Work 

• Residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings 
• Hospitals & healthcare facilities 
• Industries and manufacturing units 
• Pharma & cleanrooms 
• Data centers and mission-critical facilities 
• IT parks, malls, airports, hotels 
• Infrastructure projects (metro, utilities, campuses) 

6. Additional Desirable Knowledge 

• Energy efficiency (BEE, ECBC compliance) 
• Green building guidelines (LEED/IGBC/GRIHA) 
• Solar rooftop design and net-metering 
• Arc flash study, relay coordination (for advanced roles) 
• SCADA and automation basics
