Responsibilities

• Design & Layout: Support the design and layout of motor control centers (MCCs), switchboards, and panelboards for facility power systems.
• Documentation & Schematics: Create and update detailed single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interlock logic, and bills of material (BOM).
• Equipment Selection: Assist in specifying and selecting vital equipment, including contactors, drives, transformers, UPS systems, and grounding components.
• Engineering Analysis: Perform load checks, short-circuit inputs, and basic electrical calculations using ETAP, EasyPower, or advanced spreadsheets under senior guidance.
• Protection & Control: Help develop, document, and implement protective relay settings and interlock logic for low- and medium-voltage systems.
• Compliance & Testing: Create panel layouts, drive UL 508A compliance, witness factory acceptance tests (FAT), and support field commissioning and troubleshooting.
