This includes direct/in-house design for outside contractor installation as well as initiation and support of design/build subcontracts for performance of project scope. Electrical engineers work closely with other design engineers in development of electrical and design requirements and ensuring proposed designs meet those requirements.

Responsibilities

• Provide electrical design and coordination for electrical system and mechanical equipment renovations and upgrades, including single lines, conduit and cable tray routing, and electrical equipment layouts.
• Develop conceptual through critical design solutions for complex problems.
• Provide assistance on unusual problems and review work for application of sound professional judgment.
• Originate or check calculations for electrical loads for mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Originate or check electrical drawings including equipment layouts, single lines, conduit/cable tray routing, and wiring and schematic diagrams.
• Prepare specifications, estimates, and scope of work documents for both in-house design/outside contractor installation work and design/build subcontract work.
• Present and/or support reviews of in-house design at different milestones in the project.
• Participate in design reviews for documents produced by design/build subcontractors. Provide comments and identify discrepancies between subcontractor’s design and project requirements.
• Provide support for both in-house design/outside contractor installation work and design/build subcontract work including quantity take-offs, estimates, requests for information, submittal reviews, inspections, following the installation & helping resolve construction issues, tracking changes, and reviewing & approving as-builts.
• Design electrical equipment interface and installation details for review by senior personnel.
• Prepare electrical designs and construction drawings using 2-D / 3-D computer aided design (CAD), presentation graphics, and electrical models. May provide technical direction as appropriate to drafters, technicians, and others who assist in specific assignments.
• Coordinate work & collaborate with other engineering disciplines during planning, design, and execution phases of projects.
• Contact supplier representatives, project field personnel, and engineering discipline groups when directed, to either gather or provide information.
• Lead studies (such as fault current, voltage drop, and reliability analysis) that require knowledge of principles and techniques commonly employed in electrical design work.
• Assist in on-the-job training and development of people assigned.
• Participate in and foster a work environment that is based upon openness, trust, communication, teamwork, empowerment, innovation, and satisfaction.
• Wear company-issued PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in accordance with supervisory direction and company policy.

• Current US Citizenship required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated skill in oral and written communication.
• Good knowledge of major industry or regulatory standards (such as the National Electrical Code and IEEE standards) and design criteria pertinent to the electrical engineering discipline.
• Educational and/or work experience in dealing with electrical systems or electrical components of mechanical systems.
• Developmental experience such as practical work experience in design engineering or other relevant types of engineering (e.g., systems startup, field engineering, or plant operations/maintenance in large industrial plants, utilities, process plants, or other engineering/construction firms).
• Professional engineering certification.
• Experience writing Scope of Work documents.
• Experience reviewing subcontractor submittals for compliance with design requirements.
