Minimum of 6+ years of experience in design, field construction, and/or commissioning of electrical systems for oil and gas industrial facilities.
Strong working knowledge of pertinent codes, including NEC, IEEE, NETA, NEMA, NFPA 70E, API RP500, and hazardous area classification.
Experience with design, selection, and requirements of medium and low voltage motors, drives, and AC power generators.
Experience with medium and low voltage MCC’s, switchgear, and breakers.
Experience with transformer selection, sizing, and design.
Experience with power protection relays, specifically GE and SEL.
Experience with UPS and battery backup systems.
Experience with power systems studies software such as SKM or ETAP.
Ability to perform job responsibilities with minimal guidance or supervision.
Ability to take initiative and work with both company and non-company personnel in a fast‑paced environment with multiple concurrent assignments.
Strong verbal and written communications skills.
Proficient PC‑based skills including MS Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access).
Well‑developed analytical and problem‑solving skills to address complex technical problems.
Must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record.
Preferred Experience
Experience with gas transmission compression facilities, specifically turbine‑driven centrifugal compression systems, gas engine‑driven reciprocating compressors, and electric‑driven compression systems.
Experience with rotating equipment in gas processing and liquid fractionating plants.
Experience with large gas‑driven generators and synchronization controls.
Experience with substation design and protection, typically less than 20MVA.
Experience with pole design for distribution level voltage.
Experience with technical bid evaluations.
Experience with technical writing of standards and SOPs.
Experience with large capital projects greater than 5 million dollars.
Experience with electrical building design, cable tray and conduit systems, and support structures.
Working Conditions
