Supervisory Responsibilities

None.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities

Essential duties include some or all of the following:

• Design medium-and low-voltage power distribution systems for mission-critical and data center applications, including switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, and busway distribution.
• Perform electrical load calculations, short circuit analysis, arc flash studies, and voltage drop calculations to support system sizing and code compliance.
• Select and specify electrical equipment including transformers, automatic transfer switches (ATS), static transfer switches (STS), UPS systems, power distribution units (PDUs), and generator sets.
• Support the design of redundant power architectures used in data centers, including A/B power feeds, 2N UPS configurations, and N+1 generator arrangements.
• Assist in the development of emergency power systems, including generator paralleling, automatic transfer logic, and fuel system coordination.
• Coordinate electrical power infrastructure with mechanical cooling loads, IT equipment power requirements, and facility power density planning.
• Utilize Revit to review and coordinate electrical room layouts, equipment placement, cable tray routing, and required service clearances.
• Participate in multi-disciplinary BIM coordination with mechanical, structural, and architectural teams to ensure constructability and system integration.
• Interpret and coordinate across single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and Revit-based 3D models to ensure consistency between engineering documentation and modeled systems.
• Review and manage shop drawings, fabrication packages, contractor submittals, and Requests for Information (RFIs) to confirm compliance with design intent.
• Provide field engineering support including conduit routing verification, equipment placement coordination, and installation reviews.
• Support system startup and commissioning activities including functional performance testing, power quality verification, and integrated systems testing (IST).
• Prepare electrical specifications, system design narratives, and supporting performance documentation.
• Review and redline fabrication drawings and as-built documentation to ensure alignment with project requirements and engineering standards.
• Contribute to owner turnover documentation, commissioning reports, and permit submission packages.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes and standards including NEC, NFPA 110, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and relevant local electrical codes.
• Apply industry best practices and data center standards such as Uptime Institute Tier guidelines, TIA-942, and sustainability or commissioning frameworks including LEED and MBCx.
• Maintain regular attendance at work as an essential duty.
• Travel to project sites as required.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Conform to company Quality, Environmental, and Safety policies and comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards.

Required Skills/Abilities

- Strong knowledge of power distribution system design and electrical component selection for mission-critical environments.
- Proficiency using Revit for electrical coordination and BIM-based design review.
- Understanding of mission-critical power strategies and data center electrical infrastructure.
- Ability to coordinate across engineering disciplines within complex, multi-system environments.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, single-line diagrams, and technical documentation.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills.
- Familiarity with construction support activities including shop drawing review, commissioning coordination, and field implementation support.
