Duties & Responsibilities

• Design electrical systems for low and medium voltage distribution, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, central utility plants, and building automation systems.
• Support medium and high voltage power distribution projects, including industrial power systems, utility infrastructure, and substation-related work.
• Develop one-line diagrams, electrical plans, grounding systems, conduit layouts, cable schedules, lighting plans, equipment layouts, panel schedules, and electrical details.
• Perform electrical load calculations using Excel, SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar engineering software.
• Conduct system modeling and power system studies including load flow, voltage drop, short circuit, coordination, and related calculations.
• Develop, review, and modify sequences of operation for protective relaying, PLC controls, and building automation systems.
• Demonstrate strong understanding of major electrical equipment and operation, including motors, transformers, switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, protective relays, and control systems.
• Coordinate with vendors to define, verify, and review equipment specifications based on project and application requirements.
• Perform field investigations, site walkdowns, field verification, quantity take-offs, and existing condition assessments for renovation, retrofit, and brownfield projects.
• Prepare and review design documents at SD, DD, CD, FEL, detailed design, and IFC levels, ensuring appropriate scope, quality, and level of detail.
• Develop technical specifications aligned with project requirements, client standards, and applicable codes.
• Coordinate with internal disciplines including mechanical, instrumentation, controls, civil, and structural teams.
• Communicate effectively with architects, engineers, contractors, vendors, and client representatives.
• Respond to RFIs in a timely manner and review contractor submittals for accuracy and compliance with design intent.
• Conduct and participate in site visits, construction coordination meetings, and project meetings.
• Prepare site reports, technical documentation, engineering reports, and project records.
• Support construction administration, startup, commissioning, and field troubleshooting activities as required.
• Support project schedules, deliverables, and client coordination efforts.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited college or university.
• 5–10 years of professional experience in engineering design, consulting engineering, industrial facilities, utility infrastructure, or related environments.
