Data Engineer Jobs in Nevada

The Electrical Engineer will perform electrical engineering and design for mission-critical facilities and data centers, including new construction, expansions, and upgrades to operating facilities. This position requires experience designing reliable electrical infrastructure, coordinating multidisciplinary work, and supporting projects from initial planning through construction administration.

Reporting to a Group Leader and taking project direction from the Project Manager and Engineer of Record, the Electrical Engineer will work with minimal supervision, coordinate the work of designers and technical staff, and help maintain strong client relationships. The engineer may lead the electrical scope of assigned projects, with responsibility for technical quality, schedule, and budget performance.

Using prescribed methods, performs specific and daily assignments of an Engineer. Applies standard practices and techniques in situations, adjusts and gathers data, and follows operations through a series of related steps to comply with industry standards/techniques. Performs a variety of technical tasks, including:

• Develop electrical designs and construction documents for mission-critical facilities and data centers, including power distribution, lighting, grounding and bonding, lightning protection, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Design and specify medium- and low-voltage distribution systems, switchgear, switchboards, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, automatic transfer switches, busway, and power distribution units.
• Evaluate electrical system configurations and redundancy strategies, including N, N+1, and 2N arrangements amongst others, based on project requirements.
• Prepare single-line diagrams, equipment layouts, panel schedules, specifications, and electrical details.
• Perform electrical calculations, including load analysis, equipment sizing, voltage drop, short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, and arc-flash analysis.
• Coordinate electrical requirements for mechanical cooling equipment, building controls, electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), fire alarm, and other facility systems.
• Support capacity planning, equipment replacement, and phased construction in operating facilities, accounting for uptime requirements and shutdown constraints.
• Coordinate with architectural, structural, mechanical, civil, telecommunications, and other project disciplines, as well as utilities, equipment vendors, and commissioning providers.
• Review equipment submittals, respond to requests for information, conduct site observations, and support resolution of construction issues.
• Apply applicable codes and standards, including the NEC, relevant NFPA requirements, energy codes, and project-specific owner standards.
• Review engineering deliverables for technical accuracy, constructability, maintainability, and alignment with the project’s reliability requirements.
• Support project planning, scheduling, fee development, and management of the electrical scope.
• Participate in client meetings, technical presentations, and proposal development as needed.
