What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at Associates Systems LLC?
Sr Electrical Engineer
8 years or more of relevant experience in the Industrial/Chemical Industry preferred. Experience should include design engineering (CAD not required), regulatory compliance, electrical power control, troubleshooting, construction inspection, commissioning support, and proposal or business development support. Experience should also include: drives, MV motors, utility requirements for industrial users, transformer & switchgear design, soft starters, US and International codes and standards (ATEX, NEC, UL, etc.), programming, low voltage MCC, industrial heaters,
plant design.
Responsibilities include: development of single line diagrams and schematic drawings; developing purchase specifications; obtaining vendor quotes; preparing electrical construction specifications; performing bid evaluations; approving vendor drawings; supervising, start‐up testing, and commissioning of electrical equipment installations in new process plants including hydrogen plants, ASUs, and other gas plants; contributing to plant proposals for business development; coordination with all other disciplines and construction management during plant design and construction. Responsibilities also include supervision of designers tasked with
producing drawings and documentation for a project as well as active participation in the design activities.
Projects may include:
Coordination with utility for installation of new plants including new substations; power system studies for voltage drop, load flow, short circuit and relay co‐ordination; developing substation packages; installation, testing and commissioning of high voltage substations; new installation or replacement of large synchronous motors up to 30,000 HP; review design calculations for load flow, short circuit, Arc Flash, and relay co‐ordination including voltage drop calculations during starting of large motors; installation of
switchgear, transformers, VFD’s, UPS, diesel generators, and batteries and battery chargers.
Trouble shooting may include: evaluation of equipment breakdowns; analysis of plant trips; root cause analysis; creating reports for Lessons Learned for continuous improvement; providing
emergency support during plant trips to re‐start a plant and bring it to operating conditions.
Other activities may include: performing plant reliability audits, evaluations of existing electrical equipment; preparing cost estimations for upgrades; and evaluation of hazardous area classifications especially for Hydrogen plants including liquid H2 dispensing units.
Must have the ability to read standard Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams and have familiarity with viewing 3D models. Excellent communication and language skills are required.
PE license a plus
Industrial Gas exp a plus
Exp working with 5K HP motors or 350 KW Equipment or larger (sizing, specs, buying)
Exp with large motors and medium voltage
Travel about 5% (usually 1-2 days. Once every couple of years might have a 2-3 week trip)
