Electrical Engineer

About

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, technical integration, and field oversight of electrical systems within high-availability, mission-critical environments. This role focuses on ensuring the reliability and redundancy of infrastructure supporting life-safety, security, and environmental control systems. You will bridge the gap between complex electrical design and the successful commissioning of integrated systems where zero-downtime is the primary metric of success.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrated System Design: Develop and review electrical designs for mission-critical subsystems, including Electronic Security (CCTV/Access Control), Fire Alarm/Life Safety, and HVAC/Building Automation controls.
• Power Distribution Oversight: Manage the integration of low and medium-voltage power distribution with critical facility infrastructure.
• Technical Compliance: Ensure all engineering activities and submittals comply with NEC, NFPA, and sector-specific standards (e.g., Unified Facilities Criteria or Uptime Institute requirements).
• Field Engineering & Commissioning: Provide on-site technical leadership during the installation phase to resolve design conflicts and ensure systems are commissioned to operational specifications.
• Cross-Functional Synergy: Coordinate with mechanical engineers, general contractors, and facility stakeholders to ensure seamless interoperability of all critical subsystems.
• System Analysis: Perform or oversee load calculations, short circuit analysis, coordination studies, and arc flash assessments.

Technical Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE).
• Licensure: EIT required; PE license preferred.
• Experience: 3–7 years in electrical engineering, specifically within Mission Critical Infrastructure (e.g., Data Centers, Hospital Central Plants, Command Centers).
• Software Proficiency: * Advanced Revit and AutoCAD skills for electrical layout and BIM coordination.
• Familiarity with power analysis software (SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower).
• Subject Matter Expertise: * Deep knowledge of emergency power systems (UPS, STS, and Backup Generation).
• Hands-on experience with low-voltage systems integration (ESS, BMS, and Fire Alarm).

Operational Competencies

• Direct Communication: Ability to provide clear, technical direction in fast-paced construction environments.
• Strategic Problem Solving: Proven track record of identifying design-field discrepancies before they impact the critical path.
• Precision Focus: A meticulous approach to documentation and system testing in environments where failure is not an option.
