Hargrove Engineers & Constructors, Mobile, Alabama, United States, 36624
Who We Are
Hargrove supplies unparalleled services in engineering, procurement, construction management, and technical services in the industrial, commercial, and government sectors. With over 2,700 teammates in 19 offices domestically and internationally, we build long‑term support relationships in the energy generation, manufacturing, research and development, and process‑heavy industry in on‑site support arrangements, plant‑level small projects and consulting roles, and larger capital projects. What You’ll Be Doing
General responsibilities include performing all aspects for complete design of complex electrical and instrumentation engineering assignments. This level requires extensive progressive experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering and involves applying advanced engineering techniques and analysis under general supervision. Familiarity with and utilize department design and drafting standards. Familiarity with project scope, specifications and design criteria upon assignment to a project task team. Recognize and communicate scope and design changes promptly. On‑site assistance during startup. Provide technical guidance to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel in the department. Coordinate work activities with other staff members and the discipline lead. Perform duties as a discipline lead on small to mid‑sized projects. Produce estimate level designs and material take‑offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project. Produce detail design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project. Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required. Produce 15kV/5kV equipment specifications. Produce electrical installation specifications. Develop conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand. Produce estimate level preliminary designs and material take‑offs suitable for the level of the estimate being performed on a project. Produce installation details, motor control center single lines, electric room layouts, motor control elementaries, connection diagrams, cable schedules, control panel layouts and grounding, lighting, power and instrumentation plans under general supervision. Design with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed product meeting the expectations of the client. Check calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria and conformance to good engineering practice. Assist the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. It is your responsibility to furnish sufficient sketches and details necessary for completion of engineering drawings. Consult with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure the smooth flow of vital information necessary for scheduled completion of the project. Advise the senior engineer concerning design or scope changes, which have been identified. Assist other engineers in developing and assembling scopes, drawings and specifications into a “package”, enabling electrical/instrumentation purchase inquiries to be issued for procurement of materials or subcontract pricing. Review and check vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for electrical/instrumentation input. Develop construction specifications. Review fabrication drawings and other construction submittals for conformance to engineering drawings and specifications. Perform fieldwork necessary to gather field data, check tie‑ins and provide construction support. Knowledgeable of discipline‑specific methods, practices and techniques required to engineer design and construct process and manufacturing projects. Apply advanced engineering techniques and analysis to complex designs. Estimate and schedule professional service hours and assess the progress and quality of electrical/instrumentation work. Understand the skills and experience required to perform engineering and design functions. Identify and develop work sharing packages for interoffice execution support. Provide leadership to ensure communication and execution of work within scope, schedule and budget. Ideal Background
Education:
Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university is required. Registration:
Professional Engineering registration is highly preferred. Experience:
This position requires 6+ years of relevant industrial experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Knowledge and application of the current version of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Perform lighting level calculations. Size wire, conduit and overcurrent protection for both lighting and power applications. Perform voltage drop calculations. Route conduit and cable tray. Calculate tray and conduit fill. Determine motor control center loading. Familiarity with specifications and installation details of construction bulk materials and equipment. Create accurate electrical installation documents from vendor equipment drawings. Determine load center unit substation loading. Develop equipment specifications for motor control centers, variable frequency drivers, induction and synchronous motors, load center unit substations. Understand schedule constraints and information requirements for the production of all electrical deliverables. Produce a 15kV power system single line diagram. Familiarity with 15kV power system equipment and installation techniques both above and below ground. Develop equipment specifications for 15kV/5kV equipment such as switchgear, load break switches, motor control center and calculate short circuit and overcurrent protective device ratings. Develop electrical installation specifications. Accurately estimate completion of assigned tasks. Develop a construction cost estimate, detailed engineering schedule and man‑hour budget for a small or large project. Determine construction material quantities. Contribute to the development of P&I‑D’s with respect to measurement and control. Develop control narratives. Specify process instrumentation and develop installation details. Size control valves using appropriate software. Develop specifications and data sheets for instrumentation, analyzers, control systems and actuated valves. Know standards that apply to instrumentation and controls (ISA). Act as discipline engineer of record for projects requiring professional engineering certification. Apply company engineering design and CAD drafting standards. Program PLC, HMI and/or DCS equipment. Lead a small team to deliver on commitments. Deliver presentations of Hargrove Engineers & Constructors services. Work knowledge of CAD software, either AutoCAD, Microstation or both. Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. Excellent presentation skills. Virtual team skills and cross‑divisional relationships are developed, and able to provide interoffice execution leadership and support. Physical Requirements
