Electrical Engineer are responsible for planning and design of a wide variety of electrical systems including underground/overhead distribution, installation of transformers and switchgear, substations, unit subs, MCCs, plant & building power, lighting systems, fire alarm systems, security systems, communication networks, grounding systems, and lightning protection systems. This includes direct/in-house design for outside contractor installation as well as initiation and support of design/build subcontracts for performance of project scope. Electrical engineers work closely with other design engineers in development of electrical and design requirements and ensuring proposed designs meet those requirements. Job Responsibilities: Provide electrical design and coordination for electrical system and mechanical equipment renovations and upgrades, including single lines conduit and cable tray routing and electrical equipment layouts. Develops conceptual through critical design solutions for complex problems. Provides assistance on unusual problems and reviews work for application of sound professional judgment. Specific tasks associated with this type of work include but are not limited to:
- Originate or check calculations for electrical loads for mechanical and electrical equipment. -
- Originate or check electrical drawings including equipment layouts, single lines, conduit/cable tray routing, and wiring and schematic diagrams.
- Prepares specifications, estimates, and scope of work documents [for both in-house design/outside contractor installation work and design/build subcontract work].
- Presents and/or supports reviews of in-house design at different milestones in the project.
- Participates in design reviews for documents produced by design/build subcontractors.
- Provides comments and identifies discrepancies between subcontractor's design and project requirements.
- Provides support [for both in-house design/outside contractor installation work and design/build subcontract work] including quantity take offs, estimates, requests for information, submittal reviews, inspections, following the installation & helping resolve construction issues, tracking changes, and reviewing & approving as-builts.
- Designs electrical equipment interface and installation details for review by senior personnel
- . - Prepares electrical designs and construction drawings using 2-D / 3-D computer aided design (CAD), presentation graphics and electrical models.
- May provide technical direction as appropriate to drafters, technicians and others who assist in specific assignments
- Coordinates work & collaborates with other engineering disciplines during planning, design, and execution phases of projects.
- Contacts supplier representatives, project field personnel and engineering discipline groups when directed, to either gather or provide information
