  • Perform electrical calculations and equipment sizing to ensure system performance and resilience.
  • Lead the design and integration of Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring Systems (ALCMS), ensuring seamless interface with airport operational systems, control towers, and maintenance platforms.
  • Support automation, redundancy, monitoring, diagnostics, and cybersecurity considerations where applicable.
  • Undertake engineering assessments and technical studies including load calculations, voltage drop analysis, circuit design, fault level studies, redundancy analysis, equipment selection, and life-cycle evaluations.
  • Conduct photometric assessments and ensure compliance with prescribed airfield lighting performance requirements.
  • Coordinate closely with airport planners, airfield engineers, civil engineers, architects, ICT specialists, and other design disciplines to ensure successful integration of AGL systems within wider airport infrastructure projects.
  • Resolve design interfaces and support the development of optimized engineering solutions.
  • Prepare and review engineering reports, specifications, design calculations, drawings, layouts, schedules, bills of quantities, and tender documentation.
  • Ensure all deliverables meet project quality standards, client requirements, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Ensure all designs comply with relevant aviation regulations, airport authority requirements, electrical codes, and industry best practices.
  • Stay informed of evolving industry standards and emerging technologies related to airport electrical and airfield lighting systems.
  • Support airport expansion, rehabilitation, and modernization projects through assessment of existing AGL assets, condition surveys, upgrade recommendations, and development of asset renewal strategies aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
  • Engage with airport operators, aviation authorities, air traffic management stakeholders, contractors, and clients to address technical requirements, support project delivery, and provide subject matter expertise on AGL systems throughout the project lifecycle.
