Senior Electrical Engineer

We are a systems integration and engineering services company with a passion for tearing down industrial inefficiencies. We believe that systems integration is fundamental to leveraging new and well-established technologies against operational challenges in the manufacturing and industrial ecosystem. Our objective is to be the trusted, first-choice service provider for delivering best-in-class operational technology to control, automate, operate, analyze and optimize assets.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Leading the design effort for complete electrical system construction and integration. Producing project plans, drawings, schedules and specifications as required to meet client expectations.
• Perform all calculations required to ensure a safe and cost-effective design that adheres to applicable codes.
• Lead and mentor systems and electrical engineering staff with regard to career growth, continuous learning and project performance.
• Develop and apply standards of design and practice in projects, using effective judgement as required for specific project requirements.
• Coordinate with third party engineering disciplines as it pertains to the electrical system design.
• Perform site walks and field verification as required to develop accurate designs, resolve coordination issues, and ultimately provide solutions to the client.
• Performing FAT, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.
• Ensuring that all work is properly checked in accordance with Standards & Procedures.
• Coordinating activities with Project Managers and Technical Engineers.
• Responsible for adhering to all health and safety policies and guidelines.
• Travel - Ranges from occasional (two to three-day trips) to frequent (one day trips), with travel time often concentrated in bunches.

Required Skills:

• Ability to execute an electrical design project to produce a complete electrical construction package. This package will detail everything from the generator or utility service entrance to low voltage
• DC control wiring. This includes elevations, layouts, dimensional drawings, area plans, power/lighting/control/grounding plans and details, cable schedules, interconnects, demolition drawings,
• network diagrams, and anything else required to construct a completely integrated electrical and control system.
• 10+ years of technical experience with low voltage and medium voltage power system design.
• Strong understanding of electric power systems, electrical distribution, switchgear automation, and power system controls.
• Proficiency in conducting electrical power system studies. Experience using ETAP software is preferred, but equivalent software experience is valued.
• Strong understanding of grounding system principles, applications and theory.
• Strong understanding of electrical three-phase machine theory and applications.
• Familiarity with automation and control systems, instrumentation and electrical (I&E) engineering and principles for industrial facilities.
• Ability to specify transformers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), motor starters, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs) and related electrical distribution equipment.
• Ability to read, interpret and develop controls for motor starting equipment, switchgear, and related electrical equipment.
• Ability to specify, develop settings for, and program multifunction relays for power system applications.
• Experience with grounding system configurations, including solid, high resistance, etc.
• Familiarity with generator operational characteristics, governance and voltage regulation systems.
• Ability to train and mentor project and system engineers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Directly interface with clients and company management to report project status, risks and resolutions.
• Work as a project lead with direct interaction to customer stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of project execution and construction sequencing principles.
• Strong communication and computer skills are required.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license, or the ability and intent to obtain licensure quickly. Desired states of licensure: Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma.
• Strong familiarity with the National Electric Code (NEC) and National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards. Familiarity with IEC or other international standards is a plus.
• Drafting/design experience with AutoCAD is preferred, similar CAD system experience is also valued.
• Experience with Revit, Navisworks, and/or AutoCAD Electrical is a plus.
