Electrical Engineer

What You’ll Be Doing Perform all aspects of complete designs of small and large electrical and instrumentation engineering assignments using theoretical knowledge and practical design methods. Work under general supervision. Be familiar with and utilize department design and drafting standards. Understand project scope, specifications and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team. Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly. Provide on‑site assistance during startup. Produce estimate‑level preliminary designs and material take‑offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project. Produce detailed design calculations and sketches for construction materials associated with the project. Prepare calculations neatly for efficient checking by others and for drafting use. Design with efficient use of construction materials, emphasizing ease of construction and meeting client expectations. Check calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and good engineering practice. Assist the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. Furnish sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings. Consult with design leaders of other disciplines to ensure smooth flow of vital information for scheduled project completion. Advise the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes identified. Assist other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package,” enabling electrical/instrumentation purchase inquiries for procurement or subcontract pricing. Review and check vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input. Develop construction specifications. Review fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications. Perform fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie‑ins and provide construction support. Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel. Apply advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs. Produce installation details, motor control center single lines, electric room layouts, motor control elementaries, connection diagrams, cable schedules, control panel layouts, grounding, lighting, power and instrumentation plans under general supervision. Develop conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand. Develop small work‑sharing packages for interoffice execution support. Provide virtual team skills and cross‑divisional relationships to support interoffice execution with general supervision. This position offers a highly competitive compensation package, including paid time off, health insurance benefits, and matching retirement contributions. Ideal Background Education: Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required. Registration: Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred. Experience: 3+ years of relevant industrial experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering.
