• Collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering teams, project managers, clients, and contractors to ensure integration of electrical systems and resolve technical issues.
• Ensures electrical designs and installations comply with applicable safety and regulatory requirements
• Provides technical support and guidance on electrical matters throughout the project lifecycle

Experience and Skills

• Follows established electrical engineering design procedures and adheres to relevant industry codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NEMA, IEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E) and best practices in relation to the design, analysis, and implementation of electrical systems
• Ability to interpret and work with project specifications, one-line diagrams, control system narratives, P&IDs, vendor data, and regulatory requirements to develop comprehensive electrical designs
• Proficiency in electrical design and analysis software for creating schematics, performing calculations, and modeling electrical systems
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, including circuit theory, power systems analysis (generation, transmission, distribution), electromagnetics, electronics, and control systems
• Proven experience in designing electrical systems, including power distribution (low and medium voltage), grounding, lighting, motor controls, and protective relaying
• Ability to perform critical electrical calculations and studies, such as load calculations, short circuit analysis, arc flash hazard analysis, protective device coordination, and voltage drop calculations.
• Experienced with electrical testing procedures, commissioning processes, and troubleshooting techniques for electrical systems and equipment.
• Minimum of 2 years experience in electrical engineering design, with demonstrated experience in projects involving power distribution, industrial controls, or building systems
• To work at this facility, you must be a US person

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience with naval or industrial power plants
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or certification as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT)
• Experience with any combination of: Building Information Models (BIM), AutoDesk Revit, Deltek CostPoint, SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM, Jama requirements management, TipQA
• Knowledge and/or experience with relevant quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001)
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for data analysis or automation
• Advanced proficiency with specialized electrical design and analysis software (e.g., advanced modules in ETAP/SKM/EasyPower, CDEGS for grounding studies, DIALux/AGI32 for complex lighting design).
• Experience in PLC/DCS programming, HMI configuration, and industrial network design (e.g., Ethernet/IP, Profibus, Modbus TCP/IP).
• Specialized knowledge in areas such as power system protection and coordination, medium/high voltage substation design, or hazardous area classifications and design
• Knowledge of functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508, IEC 61511) as applied to electrical safety systems
