Design Engineer

Job Insight:

The Design Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring MCCT's projects meet high technical and regulatory standards. This position bridges the gap between design intent and practical implementation, providing precise engineering solutions, accurate documentation, and strong technical evaluations that support project delivery and commercial decisions. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and solid understanding of electrical systems are essential.

Beyond design work, the role requires close collaboration with project managers, maintenance teams, consultants, and authorities. The engineer must balance compliance, cost efficiency, and innovation while addressing real-world site conditions. This position offers opportunities for continuous learning, exposure to diverse projects, and meaningful technical impact.

Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Design & Technical Review

· Conduct site surveys and technical assessments for HT, LV, and ELV systems.

· Prepare and review technical drawings, SLDs, load schedules, design calculations, and engineering documents.

· Carry out design, redesign, and value engineering to improve system performance and cost efficiency.

· Ensure all designs comply with MS/IEC standards, Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST), local authority requirements, and industry best practices.

2. Tender & Technical Submission Support

· Prepare technical proposals, BOQs, scope of work, and cost estimates for tenders.

· Support the Commercial Department in design-related tender submissions and re-engineering proposals.

· Prepare technical submissions, method statements, materials specifications, and respond to consultant/client technical queries.

· Work with PM to identify Variation Orders (VOs) and cost-saving opportunities.

3. Coordination & Technical Support

· Liaise with consultants, clients, vendors, and authorities on technical matters.

· Provide engineering support to Commercial, Project and Maintenance Teams, including troubleshooting and technical clarifications.

· Attend coordination meetings and resolve design or installation issues.

4. Documentation, Compliance & Quality

· Maintain accurate engineering documentation, drawings, and technical files (digital & hardcopy).

· Prepare as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and handover packages.

· Ensure adherence to MCCT's Quality Management System and support audits for engineering deliverables.

5. Technical Risk & Safety

· Conduct basic technical risk assessments related to design and equipment selection.

· Ensure engineering outputs incorporate safety and regulatory compliance (DOSH, BOMBA where applicable).

6. Software & Technology

· Utilize AutoCAD and electrical calculation tools.

· Ensure proper file management and version control of engineering outputs.

7. Continuous Improvement & Other Duties

· Contribute to engineering best practices, templates, and process improvements.

· Implement all relevant policies, procedures, activities, and instructions as required by the Quality Management System.

· Undertake any other duties and responsibilities assigned by the Board of Directors (BOD).

Qualification & Requirements

· Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.

· ST Chargeman / Wireman Competency will be an added advantage.

· Minimum 2 (Two) years of experience in electrical contracting, preferably in renovation, refurbishment, and repair projects involving HT, LV, and ELV systems.

· Strong knowledge of electrical distribution systems, control panels, cable routing, grounding, and ELV systems.

· Proven ability to develop, interpret, and review electrical drawings, Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), and technical specifications.

· Familiar with electrical testing instruments and commissioning procedures.

· Good understanding of Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) requirements, local authority guidelines, and Malaysian Electrical Standards (MS/IEC).

· Proficiency in AutoCAD and MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), and familiarity with project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera).

· Proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple technical tasks in a fast-paced project environment.

· Willingness to travel to assigned project sites.
