Project Engineer
About The Position
The Project Engineer develops, coordinates, and reviews electrical engineering deliverables supporting project design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Deliverables may include electrical one-line diagrams, wiring and control diagrams, equipment layouts, grounding plans and details, cable and conduit routing and schedules, equipment specifications and datasheets, electrical bills of material, and other project-specific construction documentation. Electrical system design may cover power distribution, switchgear, MCCs, transformers, generators, UPS systems, motors, VFDs, grounding, lighting, and related facility electrical infrastructure. The role also coordinates instrumentation and controls requirements, including control panels, field devices, motor controls, communications, control wiring, and hazardous or classified-area requirements. The engineer performs and reviews calculations and analyses needed to support electrical design, such as load studies; transformer and generator sizing; conductor, cable, conduit, motor, and feeder sizing; conduit fill; voltage drop; grounding; equipment sizing and selection; and related analyses. Calculations and design decisions must be documented and developed in accordance with applicable codes and standards, client specifications, project design criteria, manufacturer requirements, and established engineering practices. The Project Engineer conducts technical reviews and QA/QC of drawings, calculations, specifications, schedules, bills of material, and vendor documentation for accuracy, completeness, constructability, and compliance with project requirements. The role coordinates electrical work with controls, process, mechanical, piping, civil/structural, and other disciplines, identifying and resolving design conflicts, omissions, and technical discrepancies before documents are issued. This is a remote role, but the candidate must be located in the San Ramon area.
