- At least 6 years of experience in medium- and low-voltage power-system engineering.
- Experience designing electrical distribution systems from utility service entrance through medium- and low-voltage distribution equipment.
- Experience with medium- and low-voltage switchgear and distribution systems and equipment.
- Experience with transformers and transformer protection.
- Experience with protective relaying and protection control systems.
- Experience with UPS systems, ATS systems, and emergency power systems.
- Strong client-facing communication skills.
- Ability to lead engineering projects and mentor junior engineers.
- Experience preparing engineering reports, technical specifications, and construction documents.
- Experience using SKM and AutoCAD.
Nice To Haves
- Professional Engineer (PE) license.
- Experience in healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial, airport, or mission-critical facilities.
- Experience with utility coordination and service entrance design.
- Experience with commissioning and field support.
Responsibilities
- Lead conceptual, preliminary, and detailed engineering design for medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems.
- Develop and review one-line diagrams, equipment layouts, construction drawings, technical specifications, and engineering calculations.
