Overview

Electrical Controls Engineers work on multiple projects to solve their problems through design of electrical control panels, MCCs, and VFD panels. The position includes designing low voltage (typically 480VAC or less) systems for automated processes. The position will work independently and as a part of a diverse team of multi-discipline engineers to solve problems and execute projects.

 

Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop electrical controls packages based on the project needs and process design documentation (typically P&IDs).
  • Strict adherence to established procedures, standards, and work flows.
  • Application of the NEC standards related to project subject matter.
  • Act as the point of contact between the electrical discipline, controls and automation discipline, other internal disciplines throughout the design process to ensure that all organizational needs are met
  • Develop PLC I/O schematics
  • Develop Panel Layouts and Bill of Materials for applications.
  • Develop three line diagrams for motor circuits.
  • Develop cable schedules and conduit layouts if required by the project
  • Develop construction scopes of work for installation contractors.
  • Work with installation contractors during the installation.
  • Assist in field start-ups and I/O checks
  • Work with Plant and Capital Projects Engineers to determine optimal solutions for their applications.
  • Estimate design and execution time

 

Position Requirements

  • Must be legally eligible to work in the United States without employer sponsorship
  • Must possess a valid driver’s license
