Define and validate power architectures (utility intake, MV/LV distribution, UPS topologies, generators, switchgear, PDUs, STS, busway, earthing, lighting).
Lead power systems studies and protection design (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc‑flash, harmonic analysis) using tools such as ETAP/SKM.
Integrate monitoring and controls (BMS/EPMS/SCADA), metering strategies, and resilience features aligned to availability objectives (e.g., Tier II‑IV).
Embed decarbonization and energy efficiency (high‑efficiency UPS, advanced controls, heat recovery, demand response, on‑site renewables, grid‑interactive strategies).
Assure compliance with applicable standards and codes (IEC/BS/EN, NEC/NFPA), client specifications, and AECOM quality procedures.
Coordinate multi‑disciplinary interfaces (mechanical, structural, architectural, fire/life safety, security, ICT) to deliver fully integrated designs.
