Summary:

The Electrical Engineer III – Electrical Engineeringprovides 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.
