Brown and Caldwell (BC) has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Electrical Engineer to support projects of strategic importance and work independently with occasional guidance on essential and highly complex issues. More specifically, we are looking for a candidate with a broad experience in electrical design and management including: design and equipment upgrades, power system studies including arc flash hazards analysis, low and medium voltage power distribution system design in an industrial setting, equipment design and selection including motor control centers, drives, switchgear, panelboards, substation transformers, and related equipment, drawing creation including, power plans and layouts, one-lines, wiring diagrams, for plant power. This role confronts difficult problems related to electrical power distribution systems design, motor control systems design, and lighting systems design that may not have clearly defined solutions. This position offers the opportunity for significant professional growth and the potential to collaborate with local and national teams. The candidate will have a broad range of responsibilities, which include mentoring junior and mid-level electrical and Instrumentation and Control (I&C) staff, interact with clients, manage electrical and I&C related projects, and participate in new business development. In this role, your design delivery responsibilities will include power system modeling, conceptual design development, layout and selection of equipment, development of contract drawings using 2D and 3D design approaches, bid package preparation, field investigations, electrical and I&C design, and support during construction both in the office and the field. We are looking for candidates who have a passion for building things, meeting new people, and desire to work with professionals who perform industrial and municipal electrical, and other water/wastewater work. Position can be based anywhere in the Pacific or Hawaiian time zones. Ideally this position would be based in our Honolulu office on a hybrid (2-3 days in office/week) work arrangement; relocation assistance is available. For Pacific time zone-based candidates, periodic travel to Hawaii may be required. **Responsibilities** - Solve complex electrical engineering problems and assist clients in making critical decisions that affect the operation and reliability of their facilities. - Lead the design of low- and medium-voltage power distribution and motor control systems. - Plan the coordination of electrical work with civil, structural, and mechanical disciplines, including the allocation of building space for electrical systems and coordination of electrical raceways with process equipment, piping and structures. - Lead the development of construction specifications for electrical equipment and systems. - Provide engineering services during construction to guarantee the proper implementation of electrical systems design. - Perform short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash studies to ensure safety and efficiency of electrical systems. - Effectively plan and track the electrical scope, schedule, and budget to optimize resources and time. - Flexibility to adapt and execute various additional assignments based on evolving needs. **Mentorship** - Provide mentorship, guidance, support, and knowledge-sharing to help less experienced team members develop their skills and grow within their roles. **Skills and Competencies** - Capable of independently designing low-voltage electrical power distribution systems and motor control systems. - Proficient in designing medium-voltage electrical power distribution systems. - Strong skills in planning, tracking, and controlling electrical scope, schedule, and budget. - Excellent proficiency in conduit, duct bank and cable tray systems design. - Ability to coordinate with other disciplines (civil, structural, mechanical) to ensure effective implementation and execution of projects.…
