DDS is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer (PE) to serve as the electrical technical lead for gas distribution facility projects and complex RNG/LNG facility projects. This role will lead PE review of EI&C deliverables, provide electrical engineering judgment and design oversight across multidisciplinary projects, and serve as DDS’s client-facing electrical subject matter expert. The ideal candidate will bring strong electrical power and facility design capability, complement our instrumentation and controls expertise, and be comfortable supporting projects from design development through to construction.

This is first and foremost a technical leadership role. The successful candidate will be expected to lead electrical quality and review efforts, produce electrical calculations, support development of sound electrical designs, and participate directly in client and project team discussions. The ability to contribute directly to drawing development and AutoCAD-based production is highly valued, but is considered a secondary duty rather than the primary purpose of the role.

• Lead PE review and technical oversight of electrical, instrumentation, and controls deliverables for gas distribution facilities, regulator and gate stations, M&R facilities, and complex RNG/LNG and related energy facility projects.
• Serve as DDS’s electrical SME on client-facing calls, design reviews, multidisciplinary coordination meetings, and project execution discussions. Help clients and internal teams work through electrical scope, design decisions, code application, constructability, and technical risk.
• Provide technical direction to engineers and designers developing electrical packages including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, conduit one-lines, cable and conduit schedules, grounding and bonding plans, lighting plans, hazardous area details, heat trace details, utility power coordination, and associated electrical documentation.
• Prepare and review electrical calculations and engineering analyses, including load calculations, voltage drop, short circuit support, feeder and equipment sizing, grounding and bonding, and related electrical design evaluations.
• Support electrical design development in a meaningful and practical way, particularly on projects requiring experienced engineering judgment related to power distribution, facility electrical systems, hazardous area applications, equipment integration, and overall constructability.
• Coordinate closely with DDS’s multidisciplinary project team members and project…
