Electrical Project Engineer, Power Systems

Overview

Power the data centers, hospitals, and other mission-critical facilities of tomorrow-designing both rugged rental products and stationary generator-set packages that keep them online. As an Electrical Project Engineer, you'll work in a unique manufacturing and dealer environment, leveraging expert-level AutoCAD and Inventor skills to craft low- and medium-voltage AC layouts, DC controls, and the logic that ties multiple gensets into advanced paralleling switchgear and smart control panels. Juggle multiple high-impact projects, troubleshoot in the test cell, and serve as the go-to authority for production teams and customers alike—making an outsized impact alongside a collaborative squad of engineers, sales pros, and suppliers.

Responsibilities

• Develop exact electrical documentation

Produce comprehensive wiring schematics, conduit schedules, and panel layouts in AutoCAD and Inventor for diesel and natural gas gensets, ensuring every reference, layer, and legend is unambiguous.

Size and specify breakers, relays, PLC / HMI hardware, and interface circuits that integrate seamlessly with low to medium-voltage paralleling switchgear and DC control systems.

Audit project drawings, vendor prints, and specifications against UL, NFPA 70 / 110, ISO, and customer standards; log variances and close them before release.

Diagnose startup, commissioning, and controls problems for technicians through root-cause-based recommendations that feed back into design libraries to improve the product.

Translate application questions into concise recommendations and solutions and document in formal engineering notes.

Follow standard protocols and proven design protocols to ensure consistent high-quality products that meet or exceed customer requirements.

Assemble, index, and track all drawings, studies, and data sheets through the approval cycle; document every revision for full traceability.

Retrieve and interpret factory application guides, PID data, and software updates; ensure the latest revisions are embedded in each project.

Deliver dimensioned one-lines, BOMs, and labor take-offs to the Sales team so quotes reflect real scope, margin, and risk.

Apply first-principles analysis to bespoke components or control sequences required by unique site conditions or regulatory environments.

Use tools and milestone checklists to keep engineering actions on time, document slippage causes, and propose corrective actions proactively.

When priorities shift, re-baseline drawings, calculations, designs, and priorities so the entire team works from a single source of truth.

If precision, thorough documentation, and methodical problem-solving are how you create value, this role will let you practice your craft at a high level of electrical engineering discipline.
