Responsibilities

Perform power system studies, including short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc-flash, load-flow, grounding, and related analyses.
Lead and independently execute medium- and low-voltage electrical design for brownfield and greenfield projects, including outdoor substations, unit substations, power transformers, protection and control systems, power monitoring systems, and breaker and relay replacements.
Develop technical specifications for medium- and low-voltage electrical equipment.
Direct and coordinate CAD/design staff in developing and revising electrical drawings, including one-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, schematics, and related design documentation.
Review and interpret field data to support engineering analysis, design development, and project execution.
Develop and review protective relay setpoints, settings, and associated documentation.
Analyze power monitoring data and develop technically sound recommendations for clients.
Review engineering deliverables for accuracy, coordination, constructibility, and compliance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, and client requirements.

Coordinate with project managers, engineers, designers, field personnel, and other Qualus teams to establish project requirements and execute work efficiently.
Assess project-specific engineering resource needs and communicate staffing, schedule, scope, or technical concerns to the project manager.
Participate in project kickoff and coordination meetings to align the team on scope, specifications, budget, schedule, deliverables, and safety requirements.
Identify changes in scope or project conditions and provide timely technical input to support change management.
Coordinate with equipment manufacturers and suppliers to identify materials and equipment that meet project technical requirements.
Maintain required safety and technical training and comply with Qualus, client, and industry safety requirements.
Complete project documentation, including timekeeping, change documentation, technical reports, and other deliverable-related records, accurately and on time.
Travel to customer facilities and project sites as required, up to approximately 30%.
