Draughtsman – Electrical Design (EPLAN/ELCAD)

About the role

The Draughtsman (EPLAN/ELCAD) will create accurate electrical schematics, panel layouts, and technical documentation for Emirates Electrical Engineering projects. Working closely with engineering and project teams, you will translate design concepts into detailed drawings that meet industry standards and project requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Develop General Arrangement (GA), layout, and assembly drawings for control and protection panels, including cubicles and sub‑assemblies.
• Prepare detailed fabrication drawings for sheet‑metal components, mounting plates, sub‑panels, and busbar systems with dimensions, tolerances, and notes.
• Create electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, termination drawings, and panel layouts using EPLAN based on engineering schematics.
• Generate and maintain device tags, cable schedules, terminal diagrams, and Bills of Materials (BOM).
• Update and revise drawings in line with engineering changes, site feedback, and as‑built requirements while maintaining version control.
• Collaborate with design engineers, project managers, and production teams to convert concepts into manufacturable drawings.

Required profile

• Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology or equivalent qualification.
• 2–3 years of experience as a draughtsman in control panel, switchgear, enclosure fabrication, or related heavy electrical manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and basic knowledge of electrical components and their mechanical mounting requirements.

Required skills

• Expert user of 2D/3D CAD software, specifically AutoCAD, EPLAN, and ELCAD.
• Proficiency in creating detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings.
• Familiarity with control panel construction, sheet‑metal fabrication processes, and standard electrical enclosure types.
