Terya Building and Construction Limited, a multidisciplinary engineering and infrastructure company in Uganda, is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join its Construction & Civil Works department. This full-time, permanent position reports to the Projects Manager and is based at project sites or the head office in Uganda.
As the official distributor of AKSA Power Generation products in Uganda, Terya designs, supplies, installs, and maintains standby and prime power systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients nationwide. Electrical engineering is at the core of this offering, with engineers taking projects from load assessment and design through installation supervision, testing, commissioning, and long-term maintenance, applying quality, safety, and technical precision at every stage.
The Electrical Engineer will take responsibility for electrical design, installation supervision, testing, and commissioning across Terya's building, infrastructure, and energy projects. The scope is deliberately broad: power distribution and switchgear, standby generation, solar PV and energy storage, earthing and protection, and the electrical services that support smart and telecommunications infrastructure. The role exists because clients need power systems that are correctly sized, safely installed, properly tested, and dependable for years—not merely energized. Errors in cable sizing, protection coordination, or earthing are expensive and dangerous; sound engineering judgment at the design stage prevents both. Your calculations, drawings, and site decisions determine whether a project performs as promised.
You will coordinate with civil, mechanical, automation, and quality teams, supervise technicians and contractors, and interface directly with clients and consultants. This exposure builds well-rounded engineers rather than narrow specialists. Terya offers a strong development environment for electrical engineering careers in Uganda: varied infrastructure projects, mentorship from senior engineers, support towards professional registration, and progression into senior engineer, project management, or specialist renewable energy roles for those who deliver consistently.
Key Responsibilities
Design and Engineering
Prepare electrical designs, load schedules, single-line diagrams, and installation layouts for buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects.
Perform cable sizing, voltage drop, short-circuit, and protection coordination calculations.
Produce and review electrical drawings using AutoCAD Electrical and related design software.
Design earthing, bonding, and lightning protection systems in line with applicable standards.
Size and specify switchgear, distribution boards, transformers, capacitor banks, and protective devices.
Design solar PV and energy storage systems, including array layout, string sizing, inverter selection, and battery capacity.
Specify generator sets, synchronisation panels, automatic transfer switches, and associated fuel systems.
Installation and Site Delivery
Supervise electrical installation works to ensure compliance with drawings, specifications, and safety requirements.
Coordinate with civil, mechanical, automation, and telecommunications teams to integrate services cleanly.
Inspect contractor and subcontractor workmanship and enforce corrective action where standards are not met.
Manage material take-offs, requisitions, and site material control for electrical works.
Testing and Commissioning
Plan and execute electrical testing including insulation resistance, continuity, earth resistance, polarity, and phase rotation.
Commission low-voltage and medium-voltage distribution systems, solar PV plants, generators, and energy storage systems.
Witness performance tests and prepare complete commissioning and handover documentation.
Operations, Maintenance and Energy Performance
Develop and oversee preventive and predictive maintenance programmes for electrical assets.
Diagnose and resolve complex electrical faults, minimising downtime for clients.
Conduct energy audits and recommend efficiency, power factor, and power quality improvements.
Project Delivery, Compliance and Leadership
Prepare technical submittals, method statements, bills of quantities, and progress reports.
Ensure compliance with national wiring regulations, IEC standards, regulatory requirements, and client specifications.
Support tendering and estimation with technical input, design options, and cost data.
Enforce safe systems of work including permit-to-work, safe isolation, and lock-out/tag-out.
Monitor project programme, resources, and budget for the electrical scope, escalating risks early.
Mentor technicians, graduate engineers, and trainees, and contribute to internal technical training.
