Role Accountabilities :

• Lead Major Projects : Manage the design of low- and medium-voltage electrical power systems for large-scale water / wastewater facilities, including projects with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection.
• Be the Client's Go-To Expert : Serve as the primary electrical contact for municipal and industrial clients, from proposal development to project delivery.
• Engineer Complex Systems : Design, analyze, and layout substations, power distribution, standby power, lighting, data communications, relay logic, fire alarm, and instrumentation / control systems.
• Collaborate Across Disciplines : Work with architects, civil and mechanical engineers, HVAC, plumbing, I&C / SCADA, and structural teams to deliver integrated solutions.
• Oversee Construction : Review submittals, respond to RFIs, conduct field inspections, ensure quality control, and verify compliance with safety and design standards.
• Apply Advanced Tools : Use ETAP, SKM Power Tools, and similar software for system analysis, short-circuit studies, arc flash analysis, and more.

Key Skills :

The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience with AutoCAD MEP (2D and 3D) and / or Revit, along with demonstrated proficiency in SKM Power Tools for short circuit calculations, overcurrent coordination, arc flash analysis, and photometric studies using software such as Visual 3D or Dialux. Experience working with SEL, GE Multilin, or similar relays is essential, as is a solid understanding of National Electrical Code requirements.
