The Electrical Engineer II supports and executes electrical engineering, design, and construction activities across EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) manufacturing projects. The role produces and validates electrical drawings, performs and validates electrical drawings, performs engineering calculations, develops design packages, and provides technical support throughout construction, commissioning, and plant operations. This position requires strong proficiency in electrical design software, practical field experience, and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, reliable, and code-compliant electrical systems within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Functional Operations:

• Produce and independently update electrical drawings including one-line diagrams, cable schedules, panel board layouts, MCC configurations, grounding plans, and control schematics using AutoCAD, Revit, or similar design tools with minimal oversight
• Perform and document engineering calculations (load flow, voltage drop, short-circuit checks, cable sizing, fault current estimation, lighting layouts) ensuring alignment with NEC, NFPA 70/70E, IEEE, IEC, and client design standards
• Develop portions of electrical design packages including specifications, equipment data sheets, construction details, and scope documents for EPC deliverables
• Participate in design reviews, resolve drawing conflicts, incorporate redlines, and verify field construction by comparing design intent to real-world installation constraints
• Lead planning, design, installation, modification, and commissioning of power distribution systems for new construction, upgrades, and renovations
• Maintain and update accurate as-built electrical documentation following commissioning and project turnover
• Provide technical troubleshooting for power distribution equipment, control systems, VFDs, instrumentation wiring, and production electrical loads to maintain uptime and reliability
• Support commissioning activities by performing equipment function checks, breaker testing, torque verifications, and assisting with energization planning and safety protocols
• Prepare engineering documentation for RFIs, change notices, design modifications, and technical justifications supporting EPC project execution
• Provide engineering consulting, feasibility studies, and installation packages for hook-up, relocation, or demolition of power systems
• Support engineering efforts related to medium-voltage distribution (5kV-35kV), low-voltage systems, lighting design, grounding/bonding, and emergency/backup power systems
• Maintain as-built drawings, review electrical specifications, and analyze system usage through monitoring software
