  • Works independently on electrical clearance calculations, lighting photometric calculations, electrical load calculations, short circuit, overcurrent coordination and arc flash studies.
  • Works with others within the group on technical report writing.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience performing aspects associated with overhead and underground electrical distribution system analysis and design, lighting design, distribution field staking, joint-use field review and design, and knowledge of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC).
  • Experience with electrical and planning analysis/design software i.e. CYMCAP, ETAP, Synergi Electric, Milsoft WindMil, SKM, and Polywater Pull Planner.
  • Experience with design tools for pole loading analysis: i.e. PLS-CADD, O-calc, SpidaCalc or Pole Foreman.
  • Experience using Cad software packages for Electrical Distribution i.e. PLS-CADD, MicroStation/AutoCAD/ArcGIS.
  • Experience with data center and renewables projects.
  • Experience performing aspects associated with electrical distribution modeling and planning, distribution coordination, developing construction work plans, developing long range plans, distribution line design and staking, National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) knowledge, and low voltage lighting design.
