Power Systems Electrical Engineer or Engineering Associate II, III; SG--26E JAO

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

To perform professional electrical and instrumentation engineering work and coordinate progressively more complex projects in a variety of engineering disciplines including civil, architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering disciplines.

The major job responsibilities are listed below.

• Design and prepare electrical and instrumentation plans, specifications and cost analyses for wastewater treatment facilities, collection systems, and solid waste facilities.
• Plan, schedule, conduct or coordinate detailed phases of electrical and instrumentation work for engineering projects.
• Develop computer models of power systems and perform electrical system, protective device coordination and arc flash studies.
• Perform electrical power systems and instrumentation engineering for wastewater treatment plants, pumping plants, landfills and power generation facilities.
• Develop electrical and instrumentation drawings and specifications.
• Design low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems.
• Design microprocessor and hardwired-based control systems.
• Review consultant, contractor and vendor submittals, RFI responses, and contractor change-order claims.
• Coordinate work with other Districts' sections, outside agencies, and electrical utility companies.

This job may be filled at any of the following levels:

• Engineering Associate II, III: The work performed in these classes are normally a prerequisite to qualify for the Electrical Professional Engineer (PE) licensure examinations.
• Electrical Engineer: This level differs from the Engineering Associate level classes by the PE license requirement, the greater engineering complexity involved in the assignments received and demonstrated proficiency.

• A valid California Class C driver license.

Engineering Associate II:

• Option 1: A bachelor's degree and master’s degree both in a pertinent engineering discipline from an accredited and recognized college or university.
• Option 2: A bachelor's degree from an accredited and recognized college or university in a related science with an Engineer-In-Training Certificate and a master's degree from an accredited and recognized college or university in a pertinent engineering discipline.
• Option 3:
  Two (2) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university.

Engineering Associate III:

• Option 1:
  Two (2) years of experience as an Engineering Associate II.
• Option 2:
  Four (4) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university.

Electrical Engineer:

• Possession of a Certificate of Registration as a Professional Engineer with the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists.
• Option 1:
  Six (6) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university.
• Option 2: A master's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university
  -and
  - Three (3) years of professional engineering experience.
• Option 3: A PhD in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university
  -and- two (2) years of professional engineering experience.

• A bachelor's and/or Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Power Systems.
• Two (2) or more years' experience performing power systems engineering and design of low- and medium- voltage power distribution systems (control/instrumentation experience is desirable) for wastewater, power generation, petrochemical, or heavy industrial facilities projects.

• Basic power systems theory and concepts, including transformers, AC machines, and solid-state motor controls.
• Power engineering and its application in wastewater treatment plants, pumping plants, petrochemical facilities, and/or power generation.
• Industrial controls including instrumentation and programmable logic controllers.
• Electrical drawings such as one-line diagrams, motor and…
