Senior Electrical Engineer, Facilities Management High-Voltage Electrical Infrastructure

Electrical Infrastructure & Power Distribution

• Serve as the site technical subject matter expert for electrical power infrastructure, with responsibility for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of high-, medium-, and low-voltage electrical distribution systems.
• Provide engineering oversight for utility services, substations, transformers, medium-voltage and low-voltage switchgear, protective relays, circuit breakers, distribution panels, grounding systems, emergency power systems, generators, automatic transfer switches (ATS), and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
• Lead electrical infrastructure planning and capacity assessments to ensure adequate power availability for manufacturing expansions, new production equipment, building projects, and future site growth.
• Develop, maintain, and review electrical power-system studies including load flow, short-circuit, protective-device coordination, arc-flash/incident-energy, grounding, and system-capacity evaluations.
• Maintain accurate electrical one-line diagrams, distribution-system documentation, equipment data, breaker settings, panel schedules, and electrical infrastructure records as system configurations change.
• Develop and maintain long-term electrical infrastructure strategies addressing capacity, reliability, redundancy, equipment condition, lifecycle replacement, spare parts, and business-continuity risks.
• Evaluate electrical-system reliability, identify single points of failure and recommend infrastructure improvements, redundancy, maintenance strategies, or capital projects to reduce production and business risk.
• Coordinate with electric utilities, engineering consultants, contractors, equipment manufacturers, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), HSE, Facilities, and manufacturing engineering on electrical infrastructure projects and system modifications.

Electrical Safety & Compliance

• Provide technical leadership for electrical safety and ensure electrical infrastructure complies with applicable NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, OSHA, IEEE, ICC, FM Global, Bosch, state, and local requirements.
• Support site LOES with the site's arc-flash program, including incident-energy studies, equipment labeling, electrical-system model updates, PPE requirements, and updates following significant system modifications.
• Provide engineering oversight for electrical shutdowns, switching operations, electrical LOTO, energized troubleshooting, and restoration of power to minimize personnel and operational risk.
• Support electrical safety audits, inspections, risk assessments, and corrective actions and provide technical guidance regarding safe electrical work practices.

Electrical Reliability & Preventive Maintenance

• Develop and maintain preventive and predictive maintenance strategies for electrical distribution equipment, including substations, transformers, switchgear, breakers, protective relays, ATS equipment, generators, and UPS systems.
• Review annual infrared/thermal imaging surveys of electrical systems, identify risks, and prioritize corrective actions.
• Coordinate condition-based maintenance programs including transformer oil analysis and dissolved gas analysis (DGA), breaker inspection and testing, protective-relay testing, secondary injection testing, switchgear maintenance, lubrication, and exercising.
• Analyze equipment failures, electrical disturbances, nuisance trips, and power-quality events; lead root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain a critical electrical spare-parts strategy and inventory based on equipment reliability, lead time, failure consequence, and production risk.

Capital Projects & Engineering

• Lead planning, design, estimating, procurement, construction, and commissioning of electrical infrastructure and facilities capital projects.
• Develop electrical scopes of work, technical specifications, RFQs, cost estimates, and bid evaluations in coordination with Purchasing.
• Review engineering drawings, one-lines, calculations, equipment submittals, and contractor designs for compliance with site standards and applicable codes.
• Coordinate contractors and engineering consultants with focus on safety, technical quality, cost, schedule, and system reliability.
• Plan and coordinate electrical outages, system switching, construction phasing, and production disruptions.
• Perform construction inspections and recommend design modifications when field conditions warrant.
• Lead commissioning and acceptance of new or modified electrical systems, including verification of testing, protection settings, equipment documentation, and as-built drawings prior to turnover.
• Maintain project records including budgets, contracts, change orders, drawings, specifications, meeting records, invoices, purchase orders, and commissioning documentation.
• Lead final project walk-through, punch-list resolution, customer acceptance, and turnover to operations and maintenance.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited engineering program.
• Minimum 5 years of progressively responsible electrical engineering experience in industrial, manufacturing, utility, or large commercial power-distribution systems.
• Demonstrated professional experience with high-, medium-, and low-voltage electrical power distribution systems, including substations, transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, protective relays, and grounding systems.
• Project-management experience involving electrical infrastructure design, construction, and commissioning.
• Experience reviewing or performing short-circuit, protective-device coordination, load-flow, and arc-flash/incident-energy studies.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 70/NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA electrical-safety requirements, and IEEE 1584.
• Knowledge of South Carolina building and electrical codes and applicable facility standards.
• Ability to read, interpret, and maintain electrical one-line diagrams, protective-device settings, electrical specifications, and engineering calculations.
• Experience planning and coordinating electrical outages and infrastructure construction.
• Strong analytical and root-cause problem-solving skills.
• Ability to independently manage multiple technical projects and priorities.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with ability to convey electrical risks to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.
• Experience with electrical power-system analysis software such as ETAP, EasyPower, or SKM Power*Tools.
• Experience with protective-relay programming, testing, and electrical-system coordination studies.
• Experience with industrial utility-scale substations and medium-voltage distribution systems.
• Experience with SAP maintenance or asset-management systems.
• Experience with preventive and predictive electrical maintenance, including thermography, transformer dissolved gas analysis (DGA), and condition monitoring.
• Experience supporting electrical systems in automotive or high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Experience with emergency generation, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), automatic transfer switches (ATS), power quality, and critical power systems.
• Experience with energy-management, demand-management, renewable-energy, or electrical decarbonization projects.
• Self-starting, results-oriented approach with ability to work independently with minimal supervision and lead others effectively.
• Strong collaborative skills with ability to work effectively across technical and nontechnical teams.
• Flexibility to occasionally work overtime, weekends, and holidays as required.
• Comfort with combination of office and field work environments, including occasional lifting of up to 25 pounds and use of personal protective equipment.
