OverviewThe Electrical Engineer supports NEC's site infrastructure and new construction projects by performing electrical system design, design reviews, and design recovery activities. This position addresses a wide range of technical challenges related to primary power distribution and facility/building electrical systems. The engineer will ensure that all designs meet performance, safety, reliability, and operability requirements.
Key Responsibilities- Perform electrical system designs for existing infrastructure upgrades and new construction projects, with a primary focus on mainline primary power and facility/building electrical systems (480V and below).
- Conduct design reviews and design recovery efforts to validate system functionality, identify deficiencies, and develop corrective actions.
- Execute field visits to gather data on existing system configuration and verify as-built conditions.
- Research technical information using vendor data, internet sources, and engineering reference materials to support system design requirements.
- Perform discipline-specific calculations and analysis related to electrical loading, short circuit levels, grounding, protection, and system performance.
- Develop technical specifications, detailed documentation, and drawing packages that communicate system design intent.
- Evaluate constructability, operability, maintainability, inspection requirements, and system accessibility during all design phases.
- Collaborate with subject matter experts and stakeholders to ensure design quality and compliance with NEC standards and applicable codes.
- Provide on-site evaluations and design recovery for existing electrical systems, including troubleshooting and recommendations for system improvements.
Qualifications- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited), preferably with an industrial power background.
- Minimum of five years of direct electrical engineering experience.
- Strong knowledge of facility/building electrical systems (480V and below) and primary power distribution.
- Ability to interpret field conditions, perform technical research, and apply engineering principles to complex system designs.
- Proficiency in electrical calculations, technical documentation, and design package development.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills for working with multidisciplinary teams and subject matter experts.
