Position Responsibilities:- Lead a team of Electrical Engineers and Drafters, setting priorities, assigning tasks, reviewing work, and conducting performance evaluations.
- Provide technical leadership across the full project lifecycle-from concept design, procurement, and construction to commissioning and operational support.
- Manage and develop electrical system designs, including low- and medium-voltage distribution, motor controls, lighting, grounding, and lightning protection systems.
- Ensure all engineering deliverables are complete, high-quality, and compliant with applicable codes (NEC, IEEE, IEC) and internal standards.
- Oversee and approve detailed electrical drawings and documentation (e.g., schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, cable routing, and conduit schedules).
- Review and validate vendor submittals, ensuring conformance with design specifications and regulatory standards.
- Support field engineering and commissioning efforts, resolving technical issues during construction, testing, and startup.
- Drive implementation of power management and SCADA-integrated systems for site-wide load management and operational efficiency.
- Mentor junior engineers and drafters, providing technical coaching, training, and career development support.
- Collaborate with mechanical, controls, process, and OT teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems with plant operations.
- Lead or support engineering standards development, and ensure adherence to internal design and documentation best practices.
- Champion electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation strategies across all project phases.
- Assist in resource planning, hiring, and retention strategies for the electrical engineering team as the department grows.
Basic Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology.
- Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in electrical engineering, including at least 3 years in a technical leadership or supervisory role.
- Proficient in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, SKM PowerTools, and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Strong understanding of medium-voltage (MV) distribution systems, power system design, load studies, and protective coordination.
- Extensive knowledge of electrical codes and standards, including NEC, NESC, IEEE, IEC, OSHA, UL, and NRTL.
- Broad engineering knowledge including electrical, mechanical, process, instrumentation, and their integration in industrial environments.
- Experience with project management methodologies (e.g., PMI), capable of managing multiple engineers, drafters, and support staff across concurrent projects.
- Demonstrated project leadership, organizational agility, and strong communication skills across teams and stakeholders.
- Skilled in prioritizing work, managing deadlines, and delivering high-quality engineering documentation in fast-paced environments.
- Awareness and application of occupational safety standards and electrical system hazard prevention.
- Self-motivated, dependable, and capable of working independently or leading collaborative, multidisciplinary teams.
Desired Qualities:- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.
- Experience with high-voltage (HV) electrical systems, industrial automation, and control systems.
- Proficiency in 3D design tools, such as Navisworks and SolidWorks.
- Proven ability to manage external design consultants and electrical contractors, ensuring quality and alignment with project goals.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and decision-making skills for resolving complex engineering challenges.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders at all levels.
- Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, and sustainable engineering practices.
- Thrives in fast-paced, hands-on, cross-functional environments, balancing technical depth with practical execution.
- Dependable in meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality, comprehensive design documentation.
- Able to work both independently and collaboratively within diverse engineering and project teams.
