Pay

Salary Range: $85,000 - $130,000

The pay listed is the salary range for this position. Any specific offer will vary based on the successful applicant’s education, experience, skills, abilities, geographic location, and alignment with market data.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management & Leadership

• On-Time Delivery: Plan and manage time effectively to ensure the successful execution and on-time delivery of assigned microgrid and industrial infrastructure projects.
• Team Mentorship: Mentor and assist in the professional development of junior engineers and designers on power systems fundamentals.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure projects are completed on schedule, within budget, and in strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), IEEE/ANSI standards, NERC/FERC regulations, ISO/RSO rules, utility interconnection requirements, and client guidelines.

Engineering & Design

• Power Systems Design: Design and draft complex electrical systems, including low- and medium-voltage power distribution (480V up to 15kV/35kV class), generation integration (BESS, Solar PV, Generators), and critical facility switchgear.
• Advanced Modeling: Utilize CAD and Revit to create comprehensive construction documents, single-line diagrams, and physical layouts for industrial energy infrastructure.
• Power System Studies: Perform detailed electrical calculations and Power System Studies utilizing SKM or ETAP, including: Short-Circuit and Equipment Evaluation, Protective Device Time-Current Coordination, Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis.
• Equipment Specification: Develop detailed specifications for major electrical equipment, including current-limiting fuses, power transformers, switchgear, and protective relays.
• Site Assessments: Conduct detailed field investigations of existing industrial facility electrical systems to evaluate capacity and interconnection feasibility.

Stakeholder & Utility Relations

• Interface Management: Directly interface with asset owners, electric utilities, cross-functional engineering leads, procurement teams, and construction crews to ensure project milestones and interconnection requirements are met.
• Collaborative Alignment: Work seamlessly within an interdisciplinary engineering team to maintain standardized design blocks and engineering best practices.

Construction & Commissioning Support

• Construction Administration: Provide construction administration and commissioning support, including Bill of Material (BOM) technical reviews, submittal evaluations, and final completion reports.
• Field Troubleshooting: Assist field teams with technical troubleshooting during the installation and startup phases of microgrid controls and switchgear.
