Electrical Engineer 2 - Facilities
This contract Electrical Engineer 2 assignment will support both the Facilities Engineering (TENF) group and the Telecommunications (TENP) group in the Transmission Services (T) business line at *** (BPA). This engineer will conduct system analysis, design, review, and check electrical designs done by internal engineers or external Architecture & Engineering (AE) design firms for electrical systems at BPA substations and telecommunications sites.
The assignment will coordinate and facilitate all building electrical; lighting, circuits, panels, wiring, HVAC, fire alarm systems, security systems, communication systems, emergency power systems, engine generators and electrical gates.
The Facilities Engineering (TENF) design organization is responsible for the engineering and design of BPA electric and non-electric building facilities including substations, telecommunication facilities, engine generator buildings, control centers, and other miscellaneous support buildings. The design teams are responsible for the review and submittal of design packages to support building facility projects, assisting Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and BPA Subject Matter Experts in the development of Statements of Work (SOWs), and documentation for the procurement of design and construction.
The design team participates in the scoping, design, AE design review, and construction review of projects along with supporting the modifications to agency standards, processes, and procedures.
Serve as point of contact and subject matter resource and provide electrical engineering expertise and support for BPA's buildings and building systems. BPA building facilities include substation control houses, telecommunication buildings, and other Transmission system supporting facilities, such as Operation and Maintenance (O&M) buildings, etc. Work includes site assessments, scoping (planning), design, and design submittal review. In addition, assist organizational Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) with Requests for Information (RFIs), construction field inspection (review commissioning, startup, redlines) and project closeout.
Provide electrical engineering and design support for building and building electrical system(s). Building electrical system(s) includes industrial type electrical power distribution systems ranging from low voltage 50V – 240V. Distribution system typically comprised of distribution transformers, panel boards, lighting systems, underground and overhead conduit and cabling systems. Review, and check electrical design drawings, and specifications developed by outside Architect Engineering (AE) design contractors for new and existing building facilities' electrical systems.
Provide electrical engineering expertise to design and review AE submittals for building alarm systems, engine generators, HVAC systems, and gas detectors etc. Provide technical reviews and consultation of building electrical systems for building projects with the intent of meeting industry codes and standards along with BPA's internal standards. Conduct station service load flow, arc flash studies, and short circuit analyses for 50V – 480V distribution systems.
Identify and analyze problems associated with low voltage electrical systems. Apply industry codes for electrical systems and equipment used in BPA building facilities. Provide technical input and recommendations for electrical engineering requirements and technical design parameters in the development of building facility equipment (HVAC, Lighting, EGs, fans, sensors, monitoring, outlets, circuits, etc.). Verify requirements, design parameters, and specifications meet all functional, operational, maintenance, reliability, and safety requirements, including National Electric Code (NEC) and National Electric Safety Code (NESC) requirements.
May visit existing BPA sites to verify existing low voltage electrical conditions. Mark documents and maintain filing system(s), files, emails, and records in accordance with compliance requirements. Share and disperse documents only to appropriate personnel (those with a Lawful Government…
