Electrical Design Engineer  Jobs in Dubai

About Us

So here’s the deal. Assystem Stup is not a regular engineering company. This company was formed when Assystem acquired Stup Consultants in July 2021. Now it is an ‘engineering powerhouse’, combining Assystem’s geeky expertise in low-carbon technology and complex project management, with the experienced operational engineering practises built by Stup over fifty years and covering urban infrastructure, buildings, and transport modes. Stup is an engineering-side business that had roots established in 1963, when Yves Guyon and C.R. Alimchandani (who both studied under Eugène Freyssinet), went into business together and it eventually became one of the major infrastructure engineering firms in India.

Assystem itself? Think global. Over 6,000 people, 10 countries, and a half-century-plus of wrangling some of the world’s trickiest energy and infrastructure gigs. And if you’re into saving the planet, these folks are all about fighting climate change—helping governments and companies shift to greener energy. We’re talking nuclear, wind, solar, hydrogen, and all the fun ways to zap up a cleaner grid, whether it’s in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.

The company’s also got this “engineering powered by digital” thing going on—fancy talk for mixing old-school engineering muscle with big data wizardry to make projects run smoother, cost less, and avoid those infamous delays. Want to know more? Go snoop at www.assystemstup.com.

The Job: Substation Design Engineer (Electrical)

If you know your way around substations and don’t get scared by acronyms longer than the English alphabet, keep reading.

What you gotta bring:

– Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering (no fake diplomas, please).
– Somewhere between three and ten years of getting your hands dirty with EHV/HV Substation design, DRPC/SVC stations, OHTL, underground distribution, and even renewable power plants (solar, wind, you get it). If you’ve messed around with HVDC systems or PV plants, you’re already ahead.
– You gotta know your standards—local, international, SEC… the works.
– Software junkies welcome: ETAP, PSCAD, PLSCADD, CDEGS, CYMGRD, DIALUX, DIgSILENT, PLEXOS… basically, if it’s got a confusing name, you’ll need it.
– Big-picture stuff: GIS, transformers, switchgear, protection & control, SCADA, SAS, telecom, teleprotection, and the whole substation circus.
– You’ll be churning out detailed designs that don’t just look good on paper but actually meet every standard in the book.
– Writing up specs for substation gear, running all the math—grounding, lighting, load, cable sizing, short circuit calcs, bus-bar stuff, sag and tension, all those calculations that make non-engineers sweat.
– Drawing layouts? Single lines, cable tray routes, profiles, structure lists, PV and wind plant selection, you name it.
– Power system studies: load flow, short circuit, motor starting, arc flash (sounds fun, right?), harmonics, grid impact, insulation coordination, transient studies, the whole nine yards.
– You’ll also be the quality cop—checking manufacturer deliverables, leading the team, and making sure all the disciplines are actually talking to each other before the drawings go out the door.

What we’re really looking for:

You’ve got a B.E. or B.Tech. in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering—yeah, the real deal, not some honorary backyard certification. Plus, you’ve been in the trenches for 3 to 10 years, actually getting your hands dirty with substation, thermal, or power distribution design. And no, binge-watching a playlist of YouTube tutorials absolutely does not count.

A Bit About Our Culture

What we care about is your skills, your courage, and your ideas. We’re not trying to check boxes on background or anything. Bring your odd, your outrageous, your unique. The more points of view, the better. If you want to rock the boat and help us build the future, come on down.

(And yes, we really mean all this diversity stuff — not just corporate speak.)
