• Assist in specifying and selecting vital equipment, including contactors, drives, transformers, UPS systems, and grounding components
• Perform load checks, short-circuit inputs, and basic electrical calculations using ETAP, EasyPower, or advanced spreadsheets under senior guidance
• Help develop, document, and implement protective relay settings and interlock logic for low- and medium-voltage systems
• Create panel layouts, drive UL 508A compliance, witness factory acceptance tests (FAT), and support field commissioning and troubleshooting
• Participate in hazard analyses, quality assurance, and regulatory audits; ensure all work adheres to safety codes, standards, and site procedures
• Produce clear technical reports, project progress updates, and presentations for stakeholders
• Perform additional, related tasks as assigned to support project success

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on experience as an electrical technician, junior designer, or similar role
• Familiarity with industrial control panels, MCCs, and low-voltage power distribution (under 1000 V)
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or a related technical field) or equivalent practical experience
• Familiarity with CAD tools and electrical analysis software (e.g., ETAP, EasyPower) is a plus
• Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a Q Clearance
