Responsibilities

Lead the design and integration of SC1/Class 1E (safety-related) and SC2 and SC3 electrical systems, including Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) distribution.
Perform complex electrical studies such as load flow, short circuit, motor starting, and protective relay coordination using ETAP software using ANSI / IEC standards.
Prepare electrical engineering deliverables such as Requirements Specifications, Electrical Load Lists, One-lines, Calculations, Schematics and 3-Line lines.
Ensure deliverables are on-spec., on-budget, and on-schedule.
Develop detailed procurement specifications for major components, including main transformers, switchgear, diesel generators, and UPS systems and collaborate with suppliers.
Navigate regulatory requirements (CA-CNSC and US-NRC), support licensing processes, ensuring all designs meet nuclear-specific standards.
Interface with transmission providers to manage Generator Interconnection Agreements and ensure grid stability compliance.
Applications of codes and standards applicable to electrical systems design in the US and CA (e.g. IEEE, IEC, CSA and NEC); European Union (eg. IEC, EU).
