  • Perform and oversee electrical system studies, including load flow, short circuit, arc-flash, and coordination using ETAP or SKM.
  • Execute and validate electrical calculations (e.g., cable sizing, voltage drop, conduit sizing/fill, short circuit levels).
  • Review and approve vendor submittals, BOMs, and support equipment procurement.
  • Provide technical direction for junior engineers and designers on electrical scope.

    Instrumentation & Controls (I&C)
  • Oversee development of complete I&C design packages, including:
    • Instrument location plans, instrument lists, and I/O lists.
    • Loop diagrams, ladder diagrams, and wiring diagrams.
    • Control panel layouts, terminal diagrams, and panel BOMs.
    • P&IDs in collaboration with process and mechanical teams.
  • Review and guide development of instrument datasheets, control philosophies, and cause & effect matrices.
  • Specify and validate design for PLCs, RTUs, SCADA, instrumentation, and control system components.
  • Provide oversight on network architecture and industrial protocol selection (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP).
  • Mentor I&C team members on panel design, loop development, and control strategy implementation.
  • Support FAT/SAT documentation and field integration planning.
  • Familiarity with I&C design software such as AutoCAD Electrical, SPI (Intools), or similar preferred.

    Project Development & General Assignments
  • Lead development of conceptual designs, execution strategies, and technical portions of proposals.
  • Support or lead scope development, cost estimating, and schedule planning.
  • Conduct and lead site walks to gather field data and evaluate design constraints.
  • Participate in or lead HAZOP, LOPA, and other risk or safety reviews.
  • Maintain design quality through internal QA/QC reviews, checklist compliance, and redline resolution.
  • Serve as technical liaison for clients and vendors during design and procurement phases.
  • Mentor junior engineers, check their work, and provide feedback for technical growth.
  • Contribute to the development and improvement of internal design standards, tools, and templates.
  • Support or lead construction support, including RFI responses, as-built drawing reviews, and commissioning assistance.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related degree from an ABET-accredited program and 7 years of electrical engineering experience.
  • EPC project experience preferred.
  • Master's Degree can substitute as 1 year of relevant experience.
  • Expert knowledge in standard engineering techniques and procedures. Strong knowledge of electrical equipment design ANSI and IEEE Standards. Strong computer skills (e.g. Microsoft Office Suite).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with leading the discipline design for large projects and delegating work tasks to team members. Ability to lead the execution of work and resolve issues in a team environment.
  • Demonstrated critical thinking skills, ability to work methodically and analytically in a quantitative problem-solving environment.
