• Carry out construction supervision duties, including reviewing shop drawings, inspecting installations, and ensuring works align with design intent and applicable standards.
• Perform lighting calculations and photometric analysis using DIALux or Relux to optimise illumination levels and energy performance.
• Coordinate electrical designs with other disciplines, such as mechanical, civil, and structural teams, to resolve clashes and maintain integrated project delivery.
• Conduct site surveys and condition assessments of existing electrical installations, identifying constraints and informing design decisions.
• Ensure all designs comply with relevant Kenyan and international codes, including IEE/BS 7671, KEBS/KS, IEC, and NFPA requirements.
• Support the team in responding to client queries, contractor clarifications, and authority approvals throughout the project lifecycle.

• Sound working knowledge of applicable codes and standards, including IEE/BS 7671 wiring regulations, KEBS/KS and IEC standards, and NFPA fire and life-safety codes.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for technical drawing production and in DIALux or Relux for lighting design and photometric analysis.
• Prior experience working within a consultancy environment, with a track record of delivering quality outputs under deadline pressure.
• Strong communication and coordination skills to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team and with external clients.
