Sr. Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer with a Professional Engineer license leads electrical design, review, and client-facing SME responsibilities for gas distribution facilities and RNG/LNG projects, with emphasis on power distribution, controls, and multidisciplinary coordination from design through construction.

Responsibilities

• Lead professional engineer review and technical oversight of electrical, instrumentation, and controls deliverables for gas distribution facilities, regulator and gate stations, M&R facilities, and complex RNG/LNG and related energy facility projects.
• Serve as DDS’s electrical SME on client-facing calls, design reviews, multidisciplinary coordination meetings, and project execution discussions. Help clients and internal teams work through electrical scope, design decisions, code application, constructability, and technical risk.
• Provide technical direction to engineers and designers developing electrical packages including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, conduit one-lines, cable and conduit schedules, grounding and bonding plans, lighting plans, hazardous area details, heat trace details, utility power coordination, and associated electrical documentation.
• Prepare and review electrical calculations and engineering analyses, including load calculations, voltage drop, short circuit support, feeder and equipment sizing, grounding and bonding, and related electrical design evaluations.
• Support electrical design development with practical engineering judgment on power distribution, facility electrical systems, hazardous area applications, equipment integration, and overall constructability.
• Coordinate closely with DDS’s multidisciplinary project team members and project management staff.
• Support occasional cathodic protection related electrical or power coordination scope as needed, anticipated as a minor but relevant part of the role.
• Participate in field walks, site verification, construction support, and troubleshooting to help projects move efficiently from design to execution.
• Mentor junior staff, support quality improvement within the electrical team, and help establish consistent design, review, and checking practices.
• When appropriate, assist in developing drawings, details, and plan packages using AutoCAD or similar tools to move design production forward, as a preferred secondary capability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program.
• Active Professional Engineer license required; licensure in any U.S. state acceptable, with ability to obtain additional licenses as needed.
• Typically 10+ years of relevant experience in utility, industrial, energy, process, or related facility electrical engineering roles.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical review and quality oversight of electrical deliverables.
• Strong experience with electrical system design for utility or industrial facilities, including power distribution, panel schedules, one-lines, grounding, hazardous area considerations, and field-integrated design packages.
• Ability to produce and review electrical calculations and apply sound engineering judgment to real project conditions.
• Strong verbal communication skills for client-facing discussions and multidisciplinary coordination meetings.
• Working knowledge of applicable electrical codes and standards including NEC, NFPA 70, grounding and hazardous area requirements, and owner or utility standards.
