Saulsbury Industries is seeking multiple Electrical Engineers who are self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and professional. Candidates must hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and have at least four years of experience in electrical engineering and design work for oil and gas and chemical facilities. In this role you will manage one or more projects at a time, completing a wide variety of difficult engineering assignments, applying engineering techniques and analysis while coordinating with other disciplines to complete projects. Willingness to travel or relocate to supplier, client, or construction‑site locations is probable.

Responsibilities

• Engage in shop and field testing of switchgear and motor control center equipment.
• Provide direction and coordination of electrical engineering for large industrial projects in midstream gas processing, petroleum refining, petrochemical, and upstream oil & gas industries.
• Apply design knowledge in medium and low voltage power distribution, grounding, lighting, motor control, variable frequency drive, and miscellaneous equipment specification and selection.
• Conduct power studies (load flow, short circuit, relay coordination, motor starting, and arc flash) as required to define the requirements for distribution facilities in industrial plants.
• Interact with all engineering disciplines, engineering and construction project managers, major equipment suppliers, and clients.
• Review and approve electrical design deliverables to issue for design and construction, including wiring diagrams, one‑line diagrams, electrical area classification plans, power and control cable schedules, and other project deliverables as required.
• Develop scopes of work and prepare detailed design milestones, staffing schedules, and engineering man‑hour estimates.
• Provide prompt notification to supervision and project management for issues that impact scope, budget, and schedule.
• Coordinate design details with other disciplines and the Project Manager.
• Collaborate with the client’s electrical representative to ensure full, appropriate communication and coordination in achieving project deliverables.
• Apply standard engineering design principles to the maximum extent appropriate, and research design options where necessary.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (required).
• 4+ years of relevant experience (preferred).
• EIT licensure (required); P.E. by exam preferred but not required.
• Experience specifying LV and MV transformers, switchgear, motor controls, and variable frequency drives.
• Experience analyzing industrial power systems using SKM tools or equivalent modeling software (required).
• Familiarity with the National Electrical Code and API standards, including sections relevant to electrical installations in hazardous locations and classification of hazardous areas.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Ability to stand for extended periods of time.
• Ability to walk the property and lay‑down yards.
• Ability to carry up to fifty pounds.
