Electrical Engineer

Responsible for designs, develops, and delivers engineering, including system planning and studies, procurement, construction solution for low voltage and medium voltage projects, according to the requirements as specified by the customer and the project manager as related to natural gas processing.

Expanded scope includes on-site power generation and mission-critical electrical infrastructure to supply data centers (gas engine plants, MV/LV distribution, UPS/battery energy storage, generator paralleling & synchronization, and N+1 / 2N redundancy strategies).

The Electrical Engineer is required to work within a multi-discipline team to develop efficient and reliable electrical design packages for the low voltage and medium voltage substations.

Engineering Leadership & Project Execution

• Act as Electrical Engineering Lead and Owner’s Engineer, accountable for technical quality, system performance, and compliance.
• Develop and maintain the Electrical Design Basis, philosophies, and technical narratives for data center power generation projects.
• Lead multi-discipline technical coordination to ensure electrical, mechanical, controls, and process systems are fully integrated.
• Serve as the primary technical interface with clients, OEMs, utilities, and EPC subcontractors.

Power Generation & Data Center Infrastructure

• Lead the design and integration of gas engine generator plants.
• Generator sizing and load-step performance.
• Paralleling and synchronization schemes.
• Black‑start philosophy and islanded operation.
• Utility interconnection and microgrid concepts.
• Define and validate redundancy and availability architectures (N, N+1, 2N), ensuring maintainability and fault isolation.
• Integrate on‑site generation with UPS systems, ATS/STS, PDUs, RPPs, and critical IT loads.

Electrical Design & Studies

• Oversee and review one‑line diagrams and protection philosophies.
• Cable sizing, routing, and raceway design.
• Short‑circuit, coordination, arc flash, grounding, lightning, harmonics, and load flow studies (ETAP or equivalent).
• Ensure selective coordination and maintenance bypass strategies across generation, UPS, and distribution systems.
• Validate compliance with NEC, NFPA 70/70E/110, IEEE, ANSI, IEC, and applicable utility standards.

Procurement & Vendor Management

• Prepare and review technical specifications, data sheets, and scopes of work for electrical equipment and systems.
• Lead technical bid evaluations and vendor clarifications for generators, switch gear, UPS, transformers, and protection systems.
• Support procurement by identifying technical risks, long‑lead items, and constructability concerns.

Construction & Commissioning Support

• Provide engineering support during construction, including RFIs, site inspections, and design clarifications.
• Support commissioning and startup activities, including factory and site acceptance tests (FAT/SAT), integrated systems testing (IST), load bank testing and generator paralleling tests.
• Support energization, turnover documentation, and as‑built verification.

Reliability, Risk & Performance

• Perform and/or review failure‑mode and operational scenario analyses (loss of utility, generator failure, UPS bypass, maintenance modes).
• Ensure power quality, transient response, and dynamic performance meet data center operational requirements.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks affecting availability, safety, cost, or schedule.

Education & Credentials

• Professional Engineer (PE) license desirable but not required.

Experience

• Minimum 8–10 years of electrical engineering experience, preferably in Oil & Gas facilities with on‑site generation and/or Data centers or mission‑critical infrastructure.
• Demonstrated experience leading electrical scope on complex, multi‑disciplined projects.
• Hands‑on exposure to gensets, paralleling switch gear, UPS systems, ATS/STS, and BESS preferred.

Technical Skills

• Strong knowledge of power systems, protection, and MV/LV distribution.
• Experience with ETAP or equivalent power system analysis tools.
• Familiarity with grid interconnection requirements and utility coordination.
• Working knowledge of instrumentation, controls, and SCADA…
