Electrical Engineer

Job Title: Electrical Engineer Job Description This Electrical Engineer role focuses on designing, analyzing, and supporting electrical and instrumentation systems for process and manufacturing projects, particularly within refinery and petrochemical environments. You will apply advanced engineering techniques, develop detailed design documentation, and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver efficient, constructible solutions that meet project scope, specifications, and industry standards.

Responsibilities Utilize department design and drafting standards to produce consistent and high-quality engineering deliverables. Review and understand project scope, specifications, and design criteria upon assignment to project task teams. Recognize, document, and promptly communicate scope and design changes to senior engineering staff. Provide on-site assistance during startup activities to support successful commissioning of electrical and instrumentation systems.

Produce estimate-level preliminary designs and material take-offs appropriate for the level of estimate required on each project. Prepare detailed design calculations and sketches for materials of construction, organizing them clearly for efficient checking and for use by drafters and designers. Develop designs that optimize construction material usage, emphasize ease of construction, and meet client performance expectations.

Check calculations prepared by other engineers to verify accuracy and compliance with codes, specifications, design criteria, and sound engineering practices. Assist the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing issues, providing sufficient sketches and details to complete engineering drawings. Consult with design leaders from other disciplines to ensure smooth information flow and coordinated project completion.

Advise senior engineers of any identified design or scope changes and their potential impact on project execution. Support other engineers in assembling scopes, drawings, and specifications into complete packages for electrical and instrumentation purchase inquiries and subcontract pricing. Review and check vendor drawings and drawings from other disciplines to incorporate necessary electrical and instrumentation input.

Develop construction specifications for electrical and instrumentation systems and equipment. Review fabrication drawings and construction submittals to ensure conformance with engineering drawings and specifications. Perform fieldwork to gather site data, verify tie-ins, and provide construction support for electrical and instrumentation installations. Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced drafting and engineering personnel within the department.

Apply discipline-specific methods, practices, and techniques required to engineer, design, and construct process and manufacturing projects. Use advanced engineering techniques and analysis to solve complex design challenges. Produce installation details, motor control center single-line diagrams, electric room layouts, motor control elementaries, connection diagrams, cable schedules, control panel layouts, and grounding, lighting, power, and instrumentation plans under general supervision.

Develop conceptual layouts and cost studies to identify the most efficient and practical approach to engineering tasks. Create accurate electrical installation documents based on information from vendor equipment drawings. Develop equipment specifications for motor control centers, variable frequency drives, induction and synchronous motors, and load center unit substations. Develop construction cost estimates, detailed engineering schedules, and man-hour budgets for small projects or defined areas of larger projects.

Determine construction material quantities and ensure alignment with project budgets and schedules. Apply and maintain knowledge of engineering design and CAD drafting standards in all project deliverables. Essential Skills Bac
