The Building Electrical Group is responsible for all building electrical systems including lighting, fire protection and low voltage for our design‑build, industrial projects. We design and build food and beverage production facilities. Our building electrical team is involved with designing the electrical systems, calculating power loads, determining, and selecting equipment sizes, and vetting and selecting suitable vendors, suppliers, and sub‑contractors. The professional will have technical responsibility for scoping, performing, and delivering multiple concurrent project assignments.

His/her specific responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Designing electrical systems for building power, i.e. normal, emergency, and standby power distribution systems for 208v, 480v, and medium voltage for industrial facilities.
• Documenting all necessary calculations for the design such as short circuit, selective coordination, arc flash, generator sizing, steady state and transient voltage drops, load calculations, conductor sizing, raceway fills, etc.
• Maintains project document organization
• Manage time and meet commitments
• Understands Ohms Law, AC/DC, Electric and magnetic fields
• Understands power system theory – 3‑phase vector math, power factor, symmetrical components
• Understands capacitors, inductors, and resonance
• Designing lighting for food processing spaces, including lighting calculations for emergency and inspection lighting level needs. Coordinating fixture placement/mounting with other trades.
• Designing fire alarm systems per NFPA 72, 101, and local building code.
• Code expertise – NEC, NFPA 72/101/, IBC
• Specify means and methods
• Specify other common work – grounding, start‑up, LV & MV Cables
• Specify equipment
• Designing low voltage systems such as LAN, phones, PA, Wi‑Fi, access control, cameras, etc.
• Create power plans
