Job Title:

Electrical Engineer

Job Description

This role leads electrical and control systems design for multidisciplinary engineering projects across sectors such as oil and gas, refining, water and wastewater, pipelines and terminals, and renewable or energy transition initiatives. The Electrical Engineer develops detailed power system studies, prepares construction drawing packages, and supports the full project lifecycle from concept through commissioning. The position is highly client-facing, combining office-based engineering work with periodic site visits to collaborate with stakeholders and ensure practical, safe, and reliable solutions.

Responsibilities

+ Lead electrical and control systems design efforts for multidisciplinary engineering projects.

+ Develop detailed engineering studies and calculations, including short circuit analysis, load flow studies, motor starting analysis, protective relay coordination, and arc flash evaluations.

+ Direct and review the development of construction drawing packages for medium- and low-voltage power systems, grounding systems, lighting systems, and instrumentation and control systems.

+ Partner closely with clients, project teams, and stakeholders to develop innovative and practical engineering solutions tailored to project needs.

+ Oversee equipment selection and specification for switch gear, transformers, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, control panels, and related electrical infrastructure.

+ Perform system modeling and analysis using industry-standard power system software such as ETAP and SKM.

+ Participate in project planning, scheduling, budgeting, and cost control activities to support successful project delivery.

+ Support startup, commissioning, troubleshooting, and performance testing of electrical and control systems.

+ Review vendor proposals, technical submittals, calculations, and equipment documentation to ensure technical accuracy and compliance with project requirements.

+ Interface with regulatory agencies, contractors, and clients throughout project execution to coordinate design, construction, and compliance activities.

+ Mentor junior engineers and designers, contributing to a collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture within the team.

+ Perform electrical power distribution design for systems typically ranging from 4160 V down to 480 V and low-voltage systems.

+ Prepare electrical drawings, including single-line diagrams, and ensure alignment with applicable codes and standards.

+ Manage or support smaller projects, typically single-discipline studies or projects in the range of approximately $10,000 to $50,000, acting as project manager when appropriate.

+ Conduct field walks and site visits with clients during project kick off, and as needed during execution, to verify existing conditions and support constructability.

+ Apply knowledge of NEC requirements, grounding, lighting, instrumentation, and control systems to ensure safe and compliant designs.

+ Collaborate with internal engineering consulting teams serving refineries, pipelines, terminals, water and wastewater facilities, and energy utility clients.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

+ 6+ years of experience designing medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems.

+ Experience in electrical power distribution, including systems typically from 4160 V down to 480 V and low-voltage systems.

+ Strong knowledge of electrical system design and applicable NEC requirements.

+ Strong understanding of grounding systems, lighting systems, instrumentation, and control systems.

+ Knowledge of electrical construction practices and their application to industrial and infrastructure projects.

+ Experience performing power system studies and electrical engineering calculations, including short circuit, load flow, motor starting, relay coordination, and arc flash analysis.

+ Proficiency in developing electrical drawings, including single-line diagrams.

+ Experience working in an engineering consulting environment.

+ Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a client-facing role.

+ Ability to travel locally to…
