Project Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Project Engineer (Civil / Electrical) to join our project execution team. In this role, you will be instrumental in overseeing the SP PowerGrid's (SPPG) major Extra High Voltage (EHV) underground cable transmission pipeline projects. You will bridge the gap between complex civil deep-excavation/tunneling works and high-voltage electrical installations, ensuring safety, engineering compliance, and timely project delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Project Coordination & Site Management

• Site Execution: Plan, monitor, and coordinate day-to-day site installation works performed by sub-contractors for EHV cable installation.
• Interface Management: Act as the primary liaison between civil engineering works and electrical cable jointing/laying teams to ensure smooth handovers.
• Survey & Route Design: Conduct cable route surveys with clients and relevant stakeholders, recording specific survey metrics and compiling detailed route drawing reports.

Civil & Infrastructure Oversight

• Technical Reviews: Collaborate closely with Civil subcontractor regarding temporary shoring design, Pipe Jacking, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), cable bridges, and cable support structures.
• Excavation & Permits: Prepare, submit, and clear all necessary Earth Work Permits, NPKs, and clearance requirements from relevant statutory bodies (e.g., LTA, PUB, N Parks).

Electrical Work Support

• Cable Laying & Jointing: Oversee the installation, pulling, and jointing preparation of Extra High Voltage (EHV) cables.
• Drawings Verification: Read, interpret, and cross-reference single-line diagrams, schematic layouts, and structural drawings.

Job Requirements

• Education: A recognized Degree or Diploma in Civil Engineering or Electrical Engineering

• Experience:

Minimum of 2–5 years of site experience in local infrastructural projects. Experience dealing directly with SPPG cable projects, power transmission systems, or underground utility works is highly advantageous.

• Technical Skills:

-Familiarity with deep excavation methods (Pipe jacking, HDD, trenching).
-Sound understanding of high-voltage cable systems or general power distributions.
-Proficiency in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Well-versed with government agency submission processes (LTA, PUB, BCA, NParks).

• Soft Skills: Excellent project coordination skills, a proactive mindset, and the ability to work under tight site constraints.
