Support site assessments, equipment selection, technical specifications, cost estimation, and project quotations.
Prepare technical scopes of work and proposal documentation.
Identify technical risks, assumptions, project constraints, and opportunities during the bidding process.
Engage suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to obtain technical information, pricing, and delivery timelines.
Participate in customer technical discussions and presentations.

Medium & High Voltage Engineering Expertise

Serve as the internal technical authority for land-based electrical power systems.
Provide expertise in MV/HV switchgear, switchboards, transformers, protection and control systems, and power distribution.
Support the integration of generators, distributed generation, microgrids, energy storage, and power conversion systems.
Provide technical guidance on utility interconnection, electrical balance of plant, grounding, and protection philosophies.
Review power-system studies, including load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, and arc-flash assessments.
Guide engineering teams in technical decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

Lead Electrical Engineering & Project Execution

Establish electrical system architecture, design philosophies, and engineering requirements for awarded projects.
Lead electrical engineering activities from conceptual design through detailed engineering.
Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering activities and manage technical interfaces with customers, utilities, suppliers, and subcontractors.
Review and approve electrical designs, technical calculations, specifications, and engineering deliverables.
Lead technical design reviews and resolve engineering challenges during manufacturing, installation, and commissioning.
Support factory acceptance testing, site installation, commissioning, and field implementation.
Ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes, industry standards, utility requirements, and customer specifications.
Maintain technical ownership from proposal development through successful project commissioning.

Supply Chain & Technology Development

Maintain knowledge of MV/HV equipment manufacturers, technologies, market trends, and supply-chain conditions.
Identify, evaluate, and qualify suppliers and alternative equipment technologies.
Assess equipment based on technical performance, cost, availability, reliability, and lifecycle support.
Build relationships with OEMs, suppliers, and technical partners.
Evaluate equipment lead times and supply-chain constraints during project planning.
Develop preferred equipment platforms and standardized power-system solutions to improve competitiveness and delivery efficiency.

Technical Leadership & Capability Building

Establish engineering practices, technical standards, design tools, and reusable system architectures.
Identify future engineering resource requirements and support recruitment of technical specialists.
Mentor engineers and contribute to building a high-performing land-based power and microgrid engineering team.
Develop and maintain technical knowledge and lessons learned from completed projects.
Collaborate across Business Development, Sales, Engineering, Project Management, Manufacturing, and Service teams.
Help expand AKA's technical capabilities and support the long-term growth of its land-based power business.
