Senior Electrical Engineer - “High-Rise & Complex Buildings”

Senior Electrical Engineer

High-rise & Complex Buildings  |  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

What if you were the senior engineer others relied on to get the most complex electrical design right?

As Senior Electrical Engineer within our High-Rise & Complex Buildings team in Malaysia, you will take full ownership of electrical systems design across a varied portfolio of building projects, bringing both technical depth and professional maturity to every stage of delivery. With at least five years behind you, you will be expected to lead from the front on design, mentor less experienced engineers, and manage the full lifecycle from concept through to commissioning.

High-rise buildings, done well, are one of the most powerful tools we have for building sustainable, liveable cities. With more than 300 tall building projects globally, our High-rise & Complex Buildings team integrates structural, MEP, facade, digital and sustainability expertise from concept to completion, because the relationship between a building’s structure and its services is where real value is won or lost. Data-driven, computationally advanced, and benchmarked against decades of global experience, we design with purpose for the people and cities that need these buildings to perform for generations. If you want work that genuinely challenges you, this is where you come.

The role

As Senior Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for the full electrical design lifecycle across a portfolio of building projects in Malaysia. You will bring strong technical judgement to complex design challenges, manage the tender and contract administration process, and work closely with engineers across disciplines to deliver coordinated, high-quality outcomes.

This is a role for someone who is ready to step up, take ownership of their work end to end, and contribute to raising the standard of electrical engineering delivery across the team.
