Roles & Responsibilities
1. Must play a vital role in ensuring that these systems function correctly and integrate seamlessly with the building's electrical infrastructure.
2. He or She should design the power supply infrastructure necessary for the operation of fire protection systems. This includes providing power to components such as control panels, pumps, alarms, and emergency lighting.
3. An Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing electrical systems, components, and equipment. Their job duties typically involve a mix of technical design, project management, and problem-solving to ensure that electrical systems meet specified requirements. Electrical engineers design and implement these control systems, which may involve programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, actuators, and communication networks.
4. Proficiency in software like AutoCAD Electrical, PDMS Revit, or similar.
5. Knowledge of electrical principles, codes, and standards.
6. Expertise in circuit design and power distribution.
7. Electrical engineers ensure that fire protection systems have access to emergency power in case of a mains power failure. This may involve designing backup power systems such as generators or battery backup systems to ensure uninterrupted operation during emergencies.
8. Work closely with engineers, architects, and project managers to understand requirements.
9. Prepare specifications, technical reports, and documentation.
10.Estimate material, labour, and project costs.
11.Review and revise designs based on feedback and changing project
needs In larger buildings or complexes, fire protection systems may
require communication capabilities to coordinate responses and
relay information to emergency services.
12.Electrical engineers design and implement communication systems such as voice evacuation systems or interfaces with building management systems.
13.Electrical engineers may be involved in testing and maintenance activities for fire protection systems, ensuring that electrical components are functioning correctly and that backup power systems are operational.
14.Electrical engineers ensure that all electrical aspects of the fire protection system comply with relevant codes, standards, and regulations, such as NFPA, NEC (National Electrical Code), and local building codes.
15.Electrical engineers may provide training to building staff on the operation and maintenance of electrical aspects of the fire protection system. They also ensure that comprehensive documentation, including wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, and maintenance procedures, is available for reference.
