- Serve as Electrical Engineer of Record on assigned projects (Hazardous occupancy, clean and dry spaces, chemical process/industrial plants, office, warehouse) and responsible for producing electrical deliverables (specifications, calculations, permit & construction documents).
- Design ownership for a wide range of electrical systems including but not limited to medium voltage (up to 34.5 kV) feed to the buildings, low voltage (up to 600V) power distribution, one-line diagrams lighting, lighting control, electrical circuits, raceway, grounding, data and communications.
- Coordinate with architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, industrial, fire & life safety, telecom, security, and other design teams to produce complete Issue for Construction (IFC) packages and technical specifications.
- Perform short-circuit studies and arc flash calculations using SKM or ETAP to determine IC or kAIC ratings, incident energy, and protective device coordination settings.
- Design cable tray systems and conduits for raceway routing and perform cable tray fill calculations per NEC requirements.
- Perform cable ampacity calculations using AmpCalc or similar software to optimize cable size instead of using prescriptive tables from National Electrical Code (NEC).
- Perform photometric studies using lighting design software and make decisions on optimal lighting levels for projects.
- Lead code analysis for NEC, IECC, NFPA standards, and other applicable requirements to ensure full code compliance across all deliverables.
- Lead multi-discipline collaboration on the development of equipment general arrangements, one-line diagrams, utility connections, and material takeoffs.
- Review conceptual designs from manufacturing engineers and other stakeholders to identify technical and financial risks.
- Prepare electrical specifications, RFPs for outsourced design, and conduct technical bid evaluations.
- Review vendor proposals and project-specific vendor drawings.
- Participate in on-field construction and commissioning activities, serving as the point of contact for technical questions and real-time issue resolution.
- Provide CA support for RFIs, submittal reviews, change orders, and site inspections.
- Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external consultants to track scope, schedule, and budget.
- Prepare engineering cost estimates and project schedules in collaboration with project controls at various design milestones.
- Perform QA/QC reviews of electrical designs and mentor junior engineers.
- Contribute to internal design standards, templates, and best practices.
- Manage project workload and ensure timely delivery of engineering documents.
- Support strategic initiatives related to grid integration, renewable energy, and energy storage.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from ABET accredited program.
- Licensed Professional Engineer in Nevada or eligible for reciprocity. Must get their PE in Nevada and South Carolina within 2 months of start date.
- Minimum 10 years of experience in heavy commercial and industrial sectors, with evidence of exceptional ability.
- SME in National Electrical Code (NEC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and relevant NFPA standards.
- Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and Navisworks (clash-free design)
- Bluebeam (markups, reviews, and sessions)
- SKM or ETAP for short-circuit, arc flash, and protective device coordination studies
- AmpCalc or similar for cable ampacity calculations
- Highly motivated, proactive, and detail oriented.
- Ability to communicate effectively through verbal, written, and visual formats at an executive level.
- A passion for sustainability and making the world a better place!
