Summary

The Electrical Engineer III – Electrical Engineering provides engineering / conceptual and detailed designs of utility-scale renewable power plants (wind & solar) and battery storage systems. Aids in operations support renewable power generation projects; while supporting the development, engineering, and construction of projects.

Requirements

• Develops and reviews the preliminary and detailed design of AC (Low, Medium, and High Voltage) and DC systems, including DC power blocks (PV) and MV AC collection systems (PV/Wind).
• Develops models of the AC substation and collection systems and performs and reviews Load Flow and Short Circuit analyses, DC and AC loss calculations, cable ampacity studies, and AC/DC cable sizing.
• Performs and reviews calculations for sizing and specifying main power transformers.
• Supports estimating company-developed and 3rd party projects by creating preliminary designs for proposed projects and quantity counts for estimating electrical equipment costs.
• Prepares and reviews specifications and construction documents to identify design and performance requirements for procurement of electrical materials and equipment.
• Performs technical review of proposed equipment to ensure acceptability to company, client, and industry standards.
• Works with designers to develop and review construction drawings and documentation to communicate electrical installation details effectively to construction teams.
• Provides input to team members working on other project areas, including grounding system design, substation design, and medium voltage collection system design.
• Prepares and analyzes weekly project updates for electrical engineering design progress for project management.
• Performs assignment and progress tracking of tasks for team members and sub-consultants.
• Attends work regularly and punctually, as scheduled or expected.
• Complies with Employee Handbook, Code of Conduct, and Company Policies & Procedures.
• Presents, supports, and leads-by-example with a safety and quality-oriented attitude.
• Provides support to construction during the construction and commissioning phases.
• Reviews work instructions periodically to ensure compliance with industry and client standards.
