Senior Electrical Engineer, Power Systems and Industrial Facilities

Ramboll•Charlotte, NC

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

As our new Senior Electrical Engineer, you will join Ramboll’s multi discipline engineering team delivering industrial manufacturing and water and wastewater projects across the US. You will serve as a technical leader who develops sound, code compliant electrical designs, performs and reviews engineering calculations, and uses power system modeling tools to drive decisions from front end loading through detailed design and construction support. This role is intentionally centered on engineering judgment and analysis. You will be expected to evaluate alternatives, document assumptions, and guide design outcomes using NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace (70E), and relevant Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards, including IEEE 1584 and IEEE 242 as applicable, while partnering with designers and other disciplines to deliver coordinated packages.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
Approximately 8 or more years of experience in electrical engineering for industrial facilities, including power distribution design and the associated calculations and technical documentation.
Demonstrated experience performing and reviewing power system studies, including short circuit, coordination, and arc flash, using SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent.
Working knowledge of NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and common IEEE standards used for industrial power systems and arc flash evaluation, with the ability to apply them to real projects.
Engineer in Training (EIT) certification is strongly preferred, with the expectation that you will pursue Professional Engineer (PE) licensure on a near term timeline, consistent with project needs.
Ability to communicate clearly, document engineering reasoning, and collaborate across disciplines and with clients.

Nice To Haves

Professional Engineer (PE) license in one or more US states, or active progress toward licensure.
Experience with additional studies such as harmonics, motor starting, grounding studies, or battery sizing depending on project needs.
Familiarity with Autodesk Revit and/or AutoCAD for coordination, review, and light editing, especially in BIM environments, while relying on designers for full production when appropriate.
Experience in industrial manufacturing, water and wastewater, and related process facilities, including construction phase support.

Responsibilities

Performing and reviewing power system studies such as short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash hazard evaluation, and load flow, using SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent tools, and translating results into practical design direction and deliverables.
Developing and checking electrical calculations and design criteria, including equipment sizing, feeder sizing, voltage drop, grounding and bonding, and protection philosophy, with clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.
Applying and interpreting NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards to ensure designs are safe, buildable, and consistent with best practice, including arc flash labeling and mitigation recommendations when applicable.
Serving as discipline lead on assigned projects by planning technical tasks, coordinating interfaces with other disciplines, guiding designers, and mentoring early career engineers.
Producing and reviewing engineering deliverables such as one line diagrams, grounding plans, power distribution and motor control design, specifications, and technical reports, and supporting proposals and fee estimates when needed.
Supporting construction by responding to requests for information, reviewing submittals, participating in site visits, and resolving field issues while maintaining design intent and code compliance.
