Senior Electrical Engineer, Medium-Voltage Distribution

The challenge

Three campus programs are in concurrent design-build. The MV distribution designs for Phase 1 buildings need to be locked by Q3 while Phases 2-3 are still in schematic design. Nothing ships late.

Role overview

Medium-voltage electrical design from utility demarcation through rack-level PDU coordination is yours. Day-to-day: load flow modeling in ETAP, protection coordination studies, and real-time field conflict resolution with the construction team. When a contractor calls at 6 AM because a bus duct route conflicts with a chilled water main, that's your phone ringing.
