Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and design low- and medium-voltage electrical power distribution systems for water and wastewater facilities.
• Develop electrical construction documents, including single-line diagrams, panel schedules, power plans, lighting plans, control schematics, conduit block diagrams, and installation details.
• Prepare and review electrical engineering calculations, including circuit load summaries, circuit breaker sizing, conduit and conductor sizing, voltage drop, fault current, and other applicable calculations.
• Develop Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls (EI&C) contract drawing packages and coordinate electrical designs with other engineering disciplines.
• Lead, review, and interpret electrical power system studies, including short-circuit, coordination, and arc flash studies.
• Review P&IDs, control descriptions, and related process documentation to support the design and integration of electrical and control systems.
• Apply applicable electrical and life-safety codes and standards, including NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), NFPA 70E, NFPA 101, and NFPA 820.
• Provide technical support during construction, including reviewing shop drawings and submittals, responding to Requests for Information (RFIs), and assisting with design-related field issues.
• Participate in field inspections, system start-up, testing, and commissioning activities.
• Coordinate with project managers, engineers, designers, clients, contractors, and other project stakeholders throughout design and construction.
• Independently manage electrical design assignments for small to medium-sized projects while meeting established quality, budget, and schedule expectations.
• Review electrical drawings, calculations, specifications, and other technical deliverables for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with project requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and support to engineers and designers as needed.
