Primary Responsibilities

• Develop electrical Basis of Design (BOD) documents for external EOR firms to produce stamped designs.
• Build internal processes, templates, standards, and QA/QC checklists that make our engineering repeatable and more scalable.
• Review EOR deliverables for NEC/NFPA 70E alignment, completeness, and conformance with SAI requirements.
• Document decisions and technical rationale (design reviews, breaker/setting validation, utility correspondence, and turnover artifacts).
• Cook up coordination with EOR partners, vendors, and internal stakeholders to keep scope and design intent aligned.
• Support commissioning and safety teams in developing practical, code-aware procedures.
• Manage multiple projects in a fast-moving environment; prioritize effectively and communicate status clearly.
• Research equipment and evaluate specifications; stay engaged with emerging technologies (EV DCFC, DER, BESS, MV distribution).

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from an accredited institution.
• 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience (or equivalent combination of experience and strong technical aptitude).
• Working knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70) and NFPA 70E; comfortable researching and interpreting applicable sections.
• Experience with power distribution and one or more of: EV charging, DER, BESS, or MV distribution.
• Ability to work across multiple projects and collaborate with both technical and non-technical teams.
