Electrical Engineer

Location: Rosemount, MN or Wichita, KS

Description:

As a Power Systems Engineer, you will anticipate customer needs while supporting pipelines and terminals across the Midwest, applying sound engineering practices that deliver long-term project value. You will also collaborate with other Koch companies to share and leverage knowledge for mutual benefit. In addition, occasional after-hours support may be required to resolve electrical equipment issues.

The ICE Engineering Team (Instrument, Control, Electrical) is a group of approximately 18 Electrical Engineers professionals that provide design, implementation, and commissioning support for 4000 miles of pipeline and approximately 60 Petroleum, Asphalt, and Ammonia terminals and booster stations. This team has responsibility for all things electrical and manages both power and control systems design.

What You Will Do:

• Apply industry and company standards and codes to design, implement, commission, and maintain low- and medium-voltage electrical power distribution systems.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for the electrical scope, partnering with project managers, contractors, and vendors to develop scopes of work and oversee resources for successful project execution
• Provide SME support for electrical systems, including switchgear, motor control centers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), transformers, power distribution equipment, and protective relays.
• Review and approve deliverables from engineering contractors supporting the electrical scope of projects.
• Evaluate and implement new technologies to advance electrical capabilities.
• Partner with the Electrical Safe Work team to provide engineered solutions that create a safer work environment.
• Support the Arc Flash Program by conducting studies, developing and verifying models, reviewing results, generating labels, and recommending strategies to reduce incident energy levels.
• Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis of electrical system issues to improve site reliability.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree with 5 years of experience, or a minimum of 10 years of electrical engineering experience in an industrial setting performing electrical power-related capital projects.
• Experience engineering projects for both medium- and low-voltage power applications.
• Experience maintaining engineering documents for electrical systems (e.g., one-lines, panel schedules, schematics, wiring diagrams).
• Experience specifying electrical equipment and evaluating vendor proposals across the full range of power system equipment.
• Experience in determining protective parameters for electrical equipment and infrastructure.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time (with potential sustained peaks driven by project schedules and workload).

What Will Put You Ahead:

• Experience supporting the petrochemicals industry and/or fuel and asphalt pipelines and terminals.
• Experience supporting industrial control systems, including PLC/HMI programming and equipment configuration.
• Experience programming a variety of electrical protective relays.
• Demonstrated technical knowledge in instrumentation, automation systems, and process control solutions.
• Experience developing equipment reliability strategies and lifecycle plans.
• Experience with devices that provide IIoT capabilities, coupled with a strong desire to transform work practices.
• Demonstrated technical knowledge and hands-on experience with predictive, preventative, and analytical testing methods to determine asset health.
• Demonstrated ability to assess electrical system performance and conduct load studies to develop and implement improvement recommendations.
