Electrical Engineer

We are currently looking to recruit an Electrical Engineer for one of our clients based in Dallas, Texas. Our client is a U.S. industrial manufacturer operating at the forefront of the clean energy and advanced materials sector, developing a new greenfield high tech manufacturing facility to support the growing demand for electrification and domestic supply chain resilience.

The ideal candidate will hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (P.E. preferred) and bring 3+ years of experience in electrical design in an industrial, chemical, or manufacturing environment. Also hold a strong foundation in medium-voltage systems, motor controls, grounding, and protective coordination.

Responsibilities:

• Leading the design and development of both low and medium voltage electrical systems for new facility construction, process expansions, and equipment upgrades—from concept through commissioning and operation.
• Create detailed electrical design documentation, including:
• Single-line diagrams and schematics
• Load and power distribution layouts
• Grounding and lightning protection systems
• Cable and conduit routing plans
• Panel schedules and PLC/control panel layouts
• Network diagrams and P&IDs
• Reviewing and approving vendor and contractor submittals, ensuring compliance with specifications, safety requirements, and electrical codes (NEC, IEEE, IEC, OSHA, and NRTL guidelines).
• Assist with power system studies including load calculations, short-circuit analysis, arc flash assessments, and protective device coordination (e.g., SKM PowerTools).
• Provide field engineering support during construction and commissioning, including RFI resolution and as-built verification.
• Ensure all electrical work meets expectations for safety, reliability, quality, and sustainability.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• 3+ years’ experience of electrical design/reviewing control panels, distribution panels, and motor control systems working directly in the industrial, chemical, or manufacturing environments.
• Previous experience with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical, transformers, switchgears, MCCs, VFDs, UPS systems, and backup generators.
• Working knowledge of NEC, IEEE, IEC, OSHA, NRTL, and UL standards.
• Ability to interpret P&IDs, equipment specifications, and process flow diagrams.
• Commitment to safety, hazard awareness, and best practices in industrial environments.
