About the Role
Alphanumeric is hiring an Electrical Engineer to work with our client, Mitsubishi Power, a global leader in environmentally friendly and sustainable energy solutions. This position focuses on designing and managing the electrical power distribution networks for Gas Turbine projects, primarily in low-voltage systems (600VAC and below), including MCCs, panelboards, LV transformers, DC systems, and batteries.
The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise, hands-on design experience, and proficiency with advanced software tools like SmartPlant Electrical (SPEL) and SmartPlant 3D (S3D).
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Design & Documentation
- Design single-line diagrams, electrical load lists, motor lists, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and termination schedules.
- Create power system plans, lighting layouts, electrical room configurations, and hazardous area classifications using SmartPlant 3D (S3D).
- Perform calculations for equipment sizing (breakers, overload devices, etc.), cables, conduits, spacing, and illumination levels while maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs).
- Develop purchase specifications for electrical packages and select suitable vendors.
Compliance & Code Interpretation
- Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical codes, including NEC/NFPA 70, CEC, and IEC standards.
- Investigate and interpret jurisdictional requirements for electrical installations.
Project Management
- Develop schedules, coordinate, and manage projects of varying complexity with minimal supervision.
- Interface with vendors to ensure technical and scheduling requirements are met.
- Collaborate with customers, vendors, and field personnel to address technical inquiries and provide project updates.
Software Utilization
- Use SmartPlant Electrical (SPEL) to design electrical power distribution networks, including single-line diagrams, schematics, and schedules.
- Utilize SmartPlant 3D (S3D) or equivalent software for 3D modeling of electrical tray and conduit designs.
- Employ lighting calculation software (e.g., DIALux, Visual) to meet code requirements for illumination levels.
Leadership & Team Development
- Lead and mentor junior engineers and interns, providing technical guidance and professional development support.
- Contribute to developing standards, policies, and procedures for the electrical team to enhance efficiency and consistency.
Continuous Improvement
- Simplify designs to improve manufacturability and reduce costs without compromising quality.
- Implement corrective actions to reduce nonconformance and enhance overall quality.
