Electrical Engineer III

About the position

The Electrical Engineer focuses on the design and engineering of power, lighting, grounding/bonding, special systems (e.g., telephone/data, security, fire alarm), raceway, cable tray, and other electrical control and building support systems into the built work environment. The individual possesses demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex tasks, establish priorities and direct the work of others. This position is responsible for overseeing the Electrical discipline scope of work and managing the discipline budget on small to medium projects of intermediate complexity, and coordinating with internal and external architects and engineers, as well as clients, construction managers, subcontractors, vendors and manufacturers. Typical tasks and deliverables include power load, illumination, short circuit and voltage drop calculations; basis of design reports; code evaluations; one-line diagrams; plans; schedules; installation details; specifications; and coordination with manufacturers and construction trade partners. Tasks will include utilizing software for building information modeling, computer-aided drafting and engineering calculations. Project work includes directing design activities for all levels of design such as studies, conceptual and schematic design, design development, construction documentation and construction administration. The individual may work independently or at the direction of the Sr. Electrical Engineer, Lead Electrical Engineer or Project Manager and may delegate basic and fundamental tasks to designers and less experienced engineers.

Responsibilities

• Designs electrical systems of intermediate complexity in conformance with code requirements and in coordination with other design disciplines.
• Works closely with other architects, engineers and designers, as well as other internal and external team members to ensure a coordinated, constructible and complete design.
• Coordinates with construction trade partners, vendors and manufacturers.
• Develops narratives, reports and construction drawing packages and writes construction specifications on small projects of intermediate complexity and with little oversight.
• Supports construction activities such as RFI responses, submittal reviews, punch list development and construction progress reports.
• Plans and directs work and manages a project electrical design budget on small to medium sized projects of intermediate complexity.
• Supports proposal development under the supervision of a Lead or Senior Engineer.
• Identifies basic non-compliant existing conditions during site walks and construction field surveys.
• Develops basic internal electrical design and engineering training presentations.
• Utilizes various platforms to execute work, such as Microsoft Office products and available BIM software.
• Attends professional development activities.
• Leads quality check efforts for small projects of intermediate complexity and drives overall project quality.
• Provides mentorship to less experienced Electrical Engineers and/or Designers.
• Leads systems design programming and master planning on intermediate projects with support from Design Lead or Senior Engineer.
• May work on one or more projects simultaneously as directed by a Supervisor.
