About The Position

AECOM is seeking an Electrical Engineer III to join our team. This role involves participating in the development of technical proposals and designing low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems for industrial water/wastewater applications and traditional building services. The engineer will perform design for lighting, fire alarm, communications, security, and grounding systems, and prepare design drawings such as single-line diagrams, electrical plans, wiring schematics, and schedules. Responsibilities include preparing engineering studies, reports, calculations, designs, specifications, and construction cost estimates in compliance with applicable codes and standards. The role also involves establishing electrical equipment performance parameters, coordinating with vendors, and using computer software for engineering problem-solving. During construction, the engineer will manage designs by reviewing shop drawings, responding to information requests, and generating punch lists. Quality assurance oversight and independent quality control reviews of deliverables developed by others are also key aspects of this position. Additionally, the engineer will develop engineering fee estimates, assist with technical proposal preparation, and work within a project team environment, coordinating with other disciplines and design team members across US offices. Occasional light local and national travel to project sites is expected. The role requires experience with large, multidisciplinary projects in an engineering capacity and performing electrical system designs including switchgears, switchboards, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, generators, transformers, distribution panels, and other electrical distribution system components.
