Senior Designer - BIM, Electrical - Data Center

Role Overview

The Electrical – CAD and Revit BIM Engineer will support the Electrical Design Engineering Team in the design and delivery of mission-critical Data Center projects. The role focuses on electrical drafting, Revit BIM modelling, schematic development, and multi-disciplinary coordination, working under the guidance of Electrical Design Engineers and Technical Leads.

The position is delivery-oriented and contributes to concept, schematic, and detailed design stages (LOD 100 to LOD400, or RIBA Stage 2 onwards), ensuring coordinated, high-quality electrical drawings, models, and documentation.

Role Clarity

• This is a design support and BIM delivery role, not a client-facing or lead electrical engineering position.
• The role focuses on schematics, layouts, BIM modelling, coordination, and documentation under defined design direction.
• Success is measured by accuracy, coordination quality, and timely delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical Design Support, Drafting & BIM

• Develop electrical schematics and single-line diagrams (SLDs) for data center electrical systems using AutoCAD, including:
  • HT / MV / LV distribution systems
  • UPS systems and battery rooms
  • Generators and emergency power systems
  • House power and critical power systems
• Prepare high-level Bills of Material (BOM) and support quantity take-offs to assist cost planning and BOQs.
• Produce electrical layouts in AutoCAD and Revit, including:
  • Substations, switch rooms, UPS rooms, and battery rooms
  • Busduct and cable routing layouts
  • Data hall power distribution layouts
  • Earthing and lightning protection layouts
• Create and maintain Revit electrical models up to LOD 300–400 for data center facilities.

Desirable / Added Skills

• Exposure to ETAP or similar electrical analysis software (short circuit, load flow, protection studies).
• Familiarity with Uptime Institute Tier concepts and TIA-942 requirements.
• Experience with busduct systems, prefabricated E-Pods, and modular power systems.
• Experience on hyperscale, colocation, or AI / GPU data center projects.

Soft Skills

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to drawing and model quality.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
• Willingness to support senior engineers and collaborate across teams.
• Flexibility to manage iterative design changes and coordination cycles.
• Good communication skills (verbal and written) to support coordination with engineers and BIM teams.
• Ability to clearly understand, document, and communicate design changes, comments, and coordination issues in drawings, models, and reports.

Diploma / BE / BTech in Electrical Engineering

Mandatory Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD for electrical drafting and schematic development.
• Strong proficiency in Revit (latest versions) for electrical BIM modelling and coordination.
• Working knowledge of Data Center electrical systems, including:
  • HT / MV / LV distribution
  • UPS and battery systems
  • Generator-backed emergency power systems
  • Critical and non-critical power segregation
• Ability to interpret electrical design intent, SLDs, specifications, and engineering calculations.

MEP Coordination & Documentation

• Perform MEP coordination in Revit, resolving clashes with mechanical, architectural, structural, fire, and ELV systems.
• Support design reviews by incorporating comments from Electrical Leads, BIM Managers, and project stakeholders.
• Ensure layouts align with data center redundancy concepts (N, N+1, 2N) and operational requirements.
• Maintain drawing registers, model versions, and document control in line with project BIM and QA standards.

Experience

• 5–10 years of experience in electrical drafting and BIM modelling.
• 3–5 years of experience in Data Center or mission-critical projects preferred.
• Proven experience in CAD + Revit delivery roles within MEP or electrical design teams.

Quality Assurance

• Deliver drawings and models in compliance with project specifications, Basis of Design, BIM Execution Plans, and internal QA/QC procedures.
• Ensure accuracy, constructability, and coordination quality of all electrical documentation.
• Support revisions during schematic and detailed design stages.
