a high standard for safety, quality, schedule, and cost.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

  • Develop and review electrical designs for medium-voltage and low-voltage power

distribution systems.

  • Prepare and review one-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment

schedules, load summaries, feeder schedules, and design narratives.

  • Support the design of utility services, substations, transformers, switchgear,

generators, UPS systems, automatic transfer equipment, distribution equipment,

grounding, and emergency power systems.

interdisciplinary page turns.

  • Review vendor submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, equipment data, and proposed

design changes for technical compliance and constructability.

  • Collaborate with procurement and project teams on long-lead electrical

equipment, technical evaluations, and supplier coordination.

Provide field engineering support during installation, startup, testing, and

commissioning.

  • Assist with troubleshooting, punch-list resolution, functional performance testing,

and turnover documentation.

  • Apply applicable requirements from the NEC, NFPA standards, IEEE standards,

local codes, and project specifications.

  • Communicate technical decisions, risks, and action items clearly to project

stakeholders.

  • Support continuous improvement of design standards, templates, checklists, and

engineering workflows.

NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 3-8 years of electrical engineering experience; mission-critical, data

center, industrial, utility, or high-reliability facility experience is strongly preferred.

  • Working knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution

systems and emergency power systems.

  • Experience interpreting electrical drawings, specifications, equipment data, and

technical studies.

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Revit; experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or

similar analysis software is preferred.

  • Understanding of electrical construction methods, equipment procurement,

commissioning, and field coordination.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.
  • Ability to travel to project sites as needed.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
