Charleston, SC, United States Full-time Posted 9d ago

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.
