Electrical Engineer - “High-Rise & Complex Buildings”

Electrical Engineer

High-rise & Complex Buildings | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

What if every building you powered was designed to perform smarter from day one?

As Electrical Engineer within our High-Rise & Complex Buildings team in Malaysia, you will take ownership of electrical systems design across a varied portfolio of building projects — from medium and low voltage distribution to ELV, security and vertical transportation. You will work closely with engineers across disciplines, manage the full design cycle from concept through to site, and contribute to a team that sets the standard for integrated building services delivery across Asia.

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.
