- Review, comment on, and process equipment and system submittals in coordination with the Engineer of Record.
- Generate electrical specifications appropriate for the project.
- Develop complete and accurate sequences of operation for electrical systems.
- Support equipment and system testing, startup, and commissioning activities.
- Perform coordination between architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical disciplines.
- Prepare and review power distribution system designs, including power, lighting, grounding, and auxiliary systems.
- Prepare power system single-line diagrams, including feeder sizing, overcurrent protection device selection, and equipment layouts.
- Perform electrical system modeling and conduct:
- Short Circuit Studies
- Protective Device Coordination Studies
- Arc Flash Hazard Analyses
- Equipment Rating Evaluations
- Develop and maintain SCCAF models using ETAP, SKM Power Tools, EasyPower, or equivalent power system analysis software.
- Produce technical reports and recommendations related to system protection, selective coordination, equipment adequacy, and arc flash mitigation.
- Perform engineering calculations related to:
- Voltage drop
- Voltage regulation
- Conductor sizing
- Distribution capacity
- Underground heat effects (Neher-McGrath)
- Fault current calculations
- Coordinate study results with project specifications, equipment procurement, and construction requirements.
- Visit jobsites to perform field surveys, collect electrical system data, and verify existing conditions.
- Utilize engineering analysis programs and professional judgment to evaluate system performance, fault currents, loading conditions, and protective device operation.
- Conduct value engineering evaluations and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Attend project design meetings and coordinate with clients, architects, engineers, contractors, commissioning teams, and utility representatives.
- Research and resolve technical issues, drawing discrepancies, interference conditions, and constructability concerns.
- Represent the engineering group during construction and commissioning activities to ensure timely resolution of field issues and proper implementation of study recommendations.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, architectural engineering, construction sciences, or equivalent experience.
- Minimum of 2 years of engineering experience.
- Experience with electrical power systems analysis, protection, or system studies preferred.
- Engineer-In-Training (EIT) certification completed; encouraged to pursue Professional Engineer (PE) registration.
- LEED AP® certification is desired.
- Working electrical engineering knowledge, including power distribution, lighting, grounding, energy conservation, and value engineering.
- High-rise residential, commercial, and data center experience is a plus.
- Proficiency in analytics programs for short circuit, over-current coordination, and arc flash analysis.
- Fluency with electrical codes (e.g., NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, NETA).
- Experience with ETAP, SKM Power Tools, EasyPower, or comparable analytical software.
- Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks, adapt to changing priorities, and meet deadlines with a positive attitude.
- Effective oral and written communication skills.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and an effective team player.
