About the job

Job Summary

Company is seeking a Senior Electrical Project Engineer to lead electrical engineering for capital projects, facility expansions, and process upgrades. This position will support projects from concept development through engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, and closeout.

Reporting to the Electrical Engineering Manager, the engineer will serve as Company’s electrical technical representative when working with EPC firms, consultants, utilities, equipment suppliers, contractors, and internal project teams. Instrumentation and controls responsibilities will focus primarily on electrical interfaces and coordination.

Responsibilities

Serve as electrical discipline lead and owner’s technical representative for assigned capital projects.

Establish electrical and instrumentation design criteria, scopes of work, technical requirements, deliverables, and acceptance criteria.

Direct and review work performed by EPC firms, consultants, vendors, system integrators, and construction contractors.

Develop and review calculations, specifications, data sheets, RFQs, technical bid evaluations, drawings, and construction packages.

Lead the design and integration of:

o Medium- and low-voltage power distribution

o Substations, transformers, switchgear, and switchboards

o MCCs, motors, VFDs, panelboards, relays, and circuit breakers

o UPS, battery, DC, emergency, and standby power systems

o Grounding, lightning protection, heat tracing, lighting, and receptacle systems

Review load-flow, motor-starting, short-circuit, coordination, arc-flash, grounding, and cable-sizing studies.

Evaluate existing electrical-system capacity and identify required upgrades for new process loads.

Review P&IDs, instrument indexes, I/O lists, instrument data sheets, loop diagrams, control narratives, and cause-and-effect matrices.

Support the selection and specification of process instruments, including pressure, temperature, flow, level, analytical, and final control elements.

Coordinate instrumentation power, grounding, signal segregation, cable routing, junction boxes, remote I/O, and hazardous-area requirements.

Review PLC, HMI, control-panel, industrial-network, and packaged-equipment interfaces for technical completeness.

Coordinate with controls engineers and system integrators on interlocks, alarms, permissives, shutdowns, and equipment sequences.

Coordinate electrical and instrumentation requirements with process, mechanical, piping, civil/structural, construction, operations, safety, and procurement teams.

Review EPC schedules, document registers, technical deviations, field changes, and change-order proposals.

Support vendor inspections, Factory Acceptance Testing, construction walkdowns, loop checks, Site Acceptance Testing, energization, commissioning, and startup.

Review RFIs, test reports, relay results, calibration records, loop folders, and commissioning documentation.

Participate in MOC, PHA, HAZOP, constructability, PSSR, and commissioning-readiness reviews.

Identify technical, procurement, cost, and schedule risks and recommend corrective actions.

Ensure compliance with Company standards and applicable NEC, NFPA, IEEE, ANSI, ISA, UL, OSHA, utility, and hazardous-area requirements.

Mentor engineers and designers.

Travel approximately 10%–20%, depending on project requirements.
