Description
Electrical Engineer (High Voltage Systems & Preventive Maintenance)
We are seeking a versatile and detail-oriented Electrical Engineer & High Voltage Technician to design, implement, and maintain critical electrical power systems. In this hands-on role, you'll support everything from medium- and low-voltage distribution to preventive maintenance on high-voltage equipment, ensuring 24 / 7 mission-critical reliability in government, commercial, and institutional facilities.
Responsibilities
- Assist in the design, layout, and commissioning of medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems, substations, and switchgear.
- Conduct electrical studies—load flow, short circuit, arc flash, grounding—and recommend protection schemes using ETAP, SKM Power Tools, CYME, or PSCAD.
- Create and maintain single-line diagrams, protection / control schematics, and technical specifications for transformers, UPS, relays, and motor control centers.
- Lead preventive maintenance : perform insulation resistance, load, and system performance testing on wiring, panels, motors, VSDs, PDU s, and generators up to 115 kV.
- Execute field inspections, fault analyses, troubleshooting, and corrective actions to uphold design intent and compliance with NEC, IEEE, NESC, OSHA, and local codes.
- Install, commission, and maintain primary (HV / MV) and secondary (LV) substations, overhead / underground distribution, building services, grounding, and lightning protection systems.
- Support SCADA integration, digital / analog control systems, and building automation for monitoring and remote operation.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams—mechanical, HVAC, facilities—and vendors to develop work plans, safety plans, and job hazard analyses.
- Document maintenance activities, generate status briefings, and recommend infrastructure upgrades for long-term reliability.
