Apply high-level electrical engineering techniques to identify improvements across project phases including concept development, preliminary design, final design, procurement, construction, and operation. Perform professional electrical engineering work related to single-line and three-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, general arrangement, schematics, cable schedules, and grounding schematics per applicable standards. Plan and incorporate future-ready techniques, equipment sizing, cabling, AC/DC panel design, and conduit/trenching strategies to ensure safety and functionality. Review electrical calculations for loads, equipment sizing, grounding potentials, short circuit study, protective device coordination, one-line diagram development, and protection elements. Develop and review plans, specifications, cost estimates, construction safety and phasing plans, and updating electrical infrastructure layouts that require coordination with owners, other disciplines, sub-consultants, and clients. Manage design and construction of electrical infrastructure projects from inception to completion, including new construction, renovations, site development, equipment layout, and construction safety plans. Oversee cross-functional teams to execute project work on mid-level and multiple concurrent projects, including budgets, hours and expenses, task completion, material/labor cost, calculations, permit applications, and regulatory memos. Prepare data visualizations, tables, charts, calculations, cross-sections, and other illustrations for interpretation of complex data and analyses. Prepare technical reports and presentations that explain research, findings, concepts, and recommendations to improve, prevent, or address design and construction issues. Maintain high quality and responsiveness to client requirements in line with industry standards. Provide guidance and training to entry-level engineers related to electrical modelling and simulations. Analyze data from field investigations and contribute to action plans for moderate- to high-level risk mitigation activities. Interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients in a confident and professional manner. Collaborate with professionals on projects funded at Federal, State, regional, and local levels, as well as on proposal and business development opportunities. Remain current in latest electrical engineering techniques and practices.

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. 10+ years of relevant post-education experience as an electrical engineer providing design deliverables for capital projects in power generation and distribution at utility, industrial, or commercial scale. Engineer license preferred. Proficient with electrical engineering principles, practices, processes, design/build, and permitting and project work-related issues. Extensive knowledge of infrastructure design and familiarity with renewable energy system design. Knowledge of adjacent disciplines such as electrical, structural, mechanical engineering and energy modeling (Title 24). Experience with electrical infrastructure planning, design, and construction management across rehabilitation, new design, and construction projects. Knowledge of relevant engineering and electrical construction laws, codes, regulations, compliance practices, and record-keeping requirements. Ability to perform technical computations, read plans and specifications, and compare to regulations. Ability to plan and conduct inspections and investigations on construction and design in compliance with applicable regulations. Strong interpersonal and communication skills for engineering and non-engineering audiences. Self-led with attention to detail, multi-tasking, and prioritization in a dynamic environment. Ability to work independently with minimal oversight and lead junior team members, with QA/QC adherence. Proficiency with design software (e.g., Helioscope, PVsystem, EnergyToolbase, BIM360, Revit, AutoCAD and other Autodesk products), office tools, and data analysis. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data interpretation abilities. Experience coordinating and directing subcontractors to complete tasks safely and efficiently. Commitment to workplace safety and adherence to WSP health, safety, and harassment policies. Willingness to travel as project requirements may demand. Occasional travel may be required depending on project needs. Preferred Qualifications
