An ICT and ELV (Information and Communication Technology / Extra-Low Voltage) Project Engineer designs, installs, and maintains smart building systems, data networks, and security infrastructure. The role requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, plus 3 to 5+ years of experience in low-current building systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. High-Level Key Responsibilities

• System Design: Create layout plans, schematics, and calculations for structured cabling, fiber optics, LAN/WAN, and wireless networks.
• ELV Integration: Design and manage security and safety setups including IP CCTV, access control, public address (PA) systems, and fire alarms.
• Project Execution: Oversee on-site installation, system testing, and commissioning to meet project schedules.
• Coordination: Work with architects, contractors, and other MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) teams using tools like AutoCAD or Revit.
• Compliance: Ensure all work follows standard building codes and global guidelines like TIA/EIA, BICSI, and IEC.

2. ICT Infrastructure & Networking

• Network Design: Architect robust LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi solutions, specifying switches, routers, and access points.
• Structured Cabling: Design copper (Cat6/6A) and fiber optic backbones for commercial projects.
• Server Room Management: Plan data center layouts, including rack space, patch panels, UPS systems, and cooling requirements.

3. ELV & Security Systems Integration

• Security & Surveillance: Design and deploy IP CCTV cameras, Network Video Recorders (NVRs), and electronic access control.
• Communication Systems: Implement Public Address/Voice Alarm (PAVA), Intercom, and Audio-Visual (AV) systems.
• Building Automation: Integrate ELV systems with Building Management Systems (BMS) for centralized control (With Experience would be added advantage).

4. Project Engineering & Supervision

• Technical Drawing: Create detailed schematic diagrams, cable schedules, and containment layouts using AutoCAD.
• Vendor Management: Evaluate sub-contractor bids, review technical submittals, and select hardware vendors.
• Testing & Commissioning: Oversee end-to-end testing, cable certification, and system handovers to clients.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (ECE, EE, IT, or Computer Science).
• Experience: 3–7 years working on commercial, industrial, or smart-city infrastructure.
• Technical Skills: Hands-on knowledge of network hardware, CCTV, BMS (Building Management Systems), and software like AutoCAD/BIM.

Certifications: Preferred credentials include Cisco (CCNA).
