Electrical & Instrumentation Engineer III

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform all aspects of complete designs for small and large electrical and instrumentation engineering assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods.
• Utilize department design and drafting standards and interpret project scope, specifications, and design criteria.
• Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly.
• Provide on‑site assistance during startup.
• Produce estimate‑level preliminary designs and material take‑offs appropriate to the estimate’s level.
• Prepare detailed design calculations and sketches for construction materials.
• Organize calculations neatly for efficient checking and for use by drafters/designers.
• Generate designs that optimize construction materials, ease of construction, and meet client expectations.
• Check calculations performed by other engineers for accuracy, code compliance, specifications, and good engineering practice.
• Assist the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems.
• Supply sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings.
• Consult with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure smooth flow of vital information.
• Advise the senior engineer on design or scope changes.
• Assist other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings, and specifications into a “package,” enabling purchase inquiries for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing.
• Review and check vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input.
• Develop construction specifications.
• Review fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications.
• Gather field data, check tie‑ins, and provide construction support as required.
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel.
• Apply advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs.
• Produce installation details, motor control center single lines, electric room layouts, motor control elementaries, connection diagrams, cable schedules, control panel layouts, grounding, lighting, power, and instrumentation plans.
• Develop conceptual layouts and cost studies to determine the simplest, most efficient approach.
• Develop small work-sharing packages for interoffice execution support.

• Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Professional Engineering registration highly preferred.

• Ability to perform lighting level calculations, voltage drop calculations, and determine motor control center loading.
• Ability to size wire, conduit, and overcurrent protection for lighting and power applications; route conduit and cable tray; calculate tray and conduit fill.
• Ability to determine load center unit substation loading and to create accurate electrical installation documents from vendor equipment drawings.
• Ability to size control valves using appropriate software and develop specifications and data sheets for instrumentation, analyzers, control systems, and actuated valves.
• Familiarity with ISA standards for instrumentation and controls.
• Proficient in developing equipment specifications for motor control centers, variable frequency drives, induction and synchronous motors, load center unit substations.
• Knowledge of schedule constraints and information requirements for all electrical deliverables.
• Ability to develop a construction cost estimate, detailed engineering schedule, and man‑hour budget for small projects or large project areas.
• Ability to determine construction material quantities.
• Knowledge and application of company engineering design and CAD drafting standards.
• Working knowledge of CAD software (AutoCAD, Micro Station, or both).
• Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
• Excellent verbal and written communication,…
