About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 7–10 years of relevant engineering experience in design, construction support, commissioning, or operations.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical power systems, including medium- and low-voltage distribution, switchgear, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power supply systems, protective relaying, and power system protection.
  • Experience reviewing electrical designs, short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies, submittals, requests for information, and equipment technical documentation.
  • Experience troubleshooting electrical systems, investigating equipment failures, performing root cause analysis, and developing remediation plans.
  • System-level knowledge of electrical equipment and facility infrastructure, including system interactions during construction, testing, and startup.
  • Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards, including the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70E, and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards.
  • Familiarity with mechanical piping and instrumentation diagrams and major cooling systems used in mission-critical facilities.
  • Ability to work in the field and travel to project sites as required.
  • Ability to make sound engineering decisions using data, field conditions, and known risks; identify risks early and follow required safety, engineering, and operating protocols.
  • Ability to communicate technical issues clearly, provide decision-useful information, work effectively across teams and technical disciplines, and know when to make an independent technical decision or engage a subject matter expert.
  • Ability to share lessons learned and technical knowledge to strengthen the team and improve future work.

Responsibilities

  • Own complex engineering issues during construction, commissioning, energization, and startup, and drive them through verified closure.
  • Review designs at the 30%, 60%, and 90% stages, issued-for-construction drawings, submittals, requests for information, and power system studies to identify technical and constructability risks.
  • Lead root cause analysis for equipment failures and system performance issues, then develop practical remediation plans.
  • Apply lessons from field issues to improve designs, standards, and future builds.
  • Evaluate complex field conditions and develop safe, practical engineering solutions when standard approaches are constrained.
  • Make data-based technical trade-offs that balance safety, reliability, quality, schedule, cost, and constructability.
  • Support commissioning with load bank and testing strategies based on available power, cooling, equipment, and construction conditions.
  • Provide technical support for permitting and authority-having-jurisdiction coordination, including responses to engineering comments and code or design issues.
  • Work across Design Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain, original equipment manufacturers, and vendors to resolve technical issues affecting project milestones.
  • Evaluate field implementation of new engineering technologies and solutions.
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to technical standards and practical process improvements.

Desired Qualifications

  • A professional engineer license or advanced degree is preferred.
