Sr. Industrial Electrical Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Industrial Electrical Engineer to guide and deliver electrical and controls design solutions for industrial process control projects. This role leads a team of designers and engineers to produce compliant, constructible electrical and instrumentation designs from concept through commissioning. The successful candidate will ensure adherence to NEC, IEC and UL508A standards, manage controls integration, and deliver accurate AutoCAD Electrical 2023+ drawings, loop diagrams, calculations and power distribution documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of electrical designers and engineers; establish priorities, assign tasks, and review deliverables to meet project schedules and quality standards.
• Oversee preparation and delivery of electrical design documents including single-line diagrams, power distribution diagrams, motor control schematics, and panel layouts in AutoCAD Electrical 2023+.
• Ensure designs comply with NEC and IEC codes and UL508A standards; maintain and enforce corporate and client standards and good engineering practice.
• Develop and review loop drawings, instrument wiring and termination details, and electrical/instrumentation interconnects to support process control systems.
• Perform and check electrical calculations for conductor sizing, short-circuit/coordination, voltage drop, load analysis and protective device selection.
• Lead controls integration activities: coordinate integration of PLCs, I/O, field devices and control panels with electrical and instrumentation teams.
• Coordinate with instrumentation, process and mechanical disciplines to ensure accurate P&IDs, cable schedules, and interface documentation.
• Provide technical oversight for panel design, panel BOMs and support UL508A panel build requirements and documentation.
• Conduct design reviews, constructability reviews and quality assurance checks; resolve design issues and field queries during procurement and construction phases.
• Support procurement by preparing technical specifications, reviewing vendor drawings, and evaluating electrical equipment and panel submittals.
• Participate in commissioning support and troubleshooting, providing field guidance and revisions to drawings as required.
• Promote continuous improvement by developing standard details, templates, and best practices for electrical design and documentation.

Qualifications

• AS, BS, or MS Degree
• 7+ years of progressive electrical design experience, with team leadership responsibilities.
• Demonstrated expertise with NEC and IEC codes and UL508A standards and their application to panel and plant designs.
• Proven experience with AutoCAD Electrical 2023+ for producing schematic, wiring, and layout documentation.
• Strong background in electrical and instrumentation design for industrial/process facilities, including development of loop drawings and P&IDs.
• Proficient in electrical calculations: conductor sizing, short-circuit and coordination studies, voltage drop and protective device selection.
• Experience with power distribution systems, motor control centers, and panel layouts.
• Hands-on experience with controls integration and PLC interface requirements; ability to work with PLC vendors and integrators.
• Excellent team leadership, communication and client-facing skills; capable of mentoring junior staff and leading cross-discipline coordination.
• Familiarity with industrial process control concepts and field instrumentation.
• Nice to have: experience with Hazardous Area design and classification (e.g., NEC/IEC hazardous area standards).
• Nice to have: direct experience integrating PLC systems and control panels in process plant environments.
