• Design, repair, and maintenance of electrical distribution equipment (breakers, relay upgrades) and utilization equipment (motors, starters, VFDs, etc.).
• Review and development of switching instructions, electrical procedures, and preventative maintenance plans.
• Management of change (MOC) review and documentation.
• Root cause analysis and risk analysis to eliminate repeat failures.
• Evaluate electrical reliability risks and develop infrastructure upgrade plans, capital projects, and turnaround work packages, including scope development, cost-benefit analysis, equipment procurement, and field execution.
• Collaborate with craft personnel and business teams to support electrical system troubleshooting, field commissioning, and performance monitoring to ensure operability, environmental compliance, and process safety.
• Support turnaround events by developing work scope, drafting execution plans, and providing hands‑on technical support during planned outages.
• Ensure all assigned projects comply with applicable industry codes and standards throughout all project phases, including NEC, IEEE, ANSI, NFPA, API, and NEMA.
• Provide daily run‑and‑maintain technical and field support across refinery production plants, utility plants, the electrical distribution network, and the cogeneration facility.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting, analyzing, and resolving complex electrical problems in an industrial setting.
• Experience with the design, specification, and procurement of electrical equipment and systems, including switchgear, motors, heat tracing, UPS, batteries, cathodic protection, motor-operated valves, transformers, breakers, relays, and temporary generators.
• Familiarity with NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance) and hands‑on experience executing substation maintenance outages.
• Experience with power system modeling studies, including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, transient motor starting, and arc flash analysis.
• Experience with hazardous area classification per API RP‑500.
• Proficiency with SKM modeling software, one‑line drawings, Schweitzer relay programming, and electrical area classification is a plus. Project lifecycle management experience is also valued.
