Electrical Engineer-Power Systems

Our dedicated Power Systems team plays a vital role in designing and delivering major projects at various international locations. The Power Systems team conducts specialist power studies across all sectors, including Critical Systems teams, focusing on hyperscale data centres, Building Services, and large-scale construction projects throughout the business. Furthermore, the Power Systems team is expanding into new areas such as large-scale renewables.As a leader in this market, we were one of the first consultancies to design air optimised data centres and are at the forefront of this cooling strategy, which has resulted in attaining the first ever BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating awarded to a data centre and significantly contributed to others achieving LEED 'Gold', or even targeting 'Platinum' status.The team are a source of world leading expertise – and offer a pro-active and collaborative approach to skill development, and professional excellence.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and talented Electrical Power Systems Engineer to join our vibrant team in Manila to work on the design of some of the most exciting projects locally & regionally.The applicant will require a good working knowledge of ETAP and/or SKM-PTW High. Medium and Low Voltage systems analysis software.
