Responsibilities

Serve as the electrical power-generation subject-matter expert throughout design, construction, commissioning, turnover, and operations support.
Define electrical system architecture, capacity, redundancy, protection, grounding, controls interfaces, and operational-readiness requirements.
Lead design and technical reviews for gas turbines, reciprocating generators, diesel and natural-gas generators, alternators, generator step-up transformers, generator breakers, paralleling switchgear, load banks, fuel-system electrical interfaces, and balance-of-plant equipment.
Develop and validate generator synchronization, load-sharing, paralleling, island-mode, black-start, utility-transfer, and restoration strategies.
Review electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, protection diagrams, equipment specifications, and vendor submittals.
Perform or review short-circuit, load-flow, arc-flash, grounding, harmonic, and protective-device coordination studies.
Coordinate electrical interfaces between generators, switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, automatic transfer switches, utility service, and data center distribution systems.
Partner with mechanical, I&C, controls, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure integrated and operable infrastructure.
Provide technical oversight during construction, including field inspections, quality reviews, installation verification, change management, punch-list resolution, and issue escalation.
Develop and oversee commissioning plans for generator startup, electrical energization, relay testing, switchgear testing, load-bank testing, integrated systems testing, black-start testing, and utility-transfer testing.
Lead root-cause analysis for electrical faults, generator trips, protective-relay operations, power-quality events, failed starts, and recurring reliability issues.
Develop electrical operating procedures, maintenance strategies, emergency-response plans, spare-parts recommendations, and lifecycle replacement plans.
Ensure complete turnover documentation, including as-built drawings, relay settings, test reports, commissioning records, equipment manuals, training materials, warranty information, and asset records.
Support operations through periodic testing, outage planning, event analysis, capacity upgrades, equipment replacement, and continuous reliability improvement.
Ensure compliance with applicable electrical safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
