Role Overview

The Senior Engineer, Facilities Engineering (Electrical) is responsible for ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and continuous operation of site electrical infrastructure. This role serves as the technical authority for power systems and leads the design, maintenance, and optimization of critical electrical systems supporting advanced manufacturing and facility operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical Systems Leadership

  • Serve as the subject matter expert for electrical infrastructure, including low- and medium-voltage (LV/MV) distribution, lighting, generators, and UPS systems.

  • Establish, maintain, and continuously improve electrical engineering standards and site-wide reliability programs.

• Critical Infrastructure Management

  • Design, maintain, and optimize mission-critical systems (UPS, generators, distribution networks) with a strong focus on uptime, redundancy, and operational continuity.

  • Support 24/7 sustaining operations, including on-call coverage for critical system issues.

• Reliability & Maintenance Programs

  • Develop and implement preventive and predictive maintenance strategies to enhance system performance and minimize downtime.

  • Drive energy efficiency initiatives and sustainability improvements across electrical systems.

• Project Execution

  • Lead or support electrical scopes of work for capital projects of varying complexity, including advanced manufacturing environments, cleanrooms, and high-tech facilities.

  • Review and approve contractor deliverables, submittals, RFIs, and ensure quality execution in the field.

• Engineering Design & Analysis

  • Prepare and review electrical design documentation, including:

    • Single-line diagrams

    • Load calculations

    • Panel schedules

    • Lighting layouts

    • Short-circuit, coordination, and arc flash studies

  • Ensure all designs meet applicable codes, standards, and safety requirements.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with architectural, mechanical, and structural teams to deliver integrated, code-compliant facility designs.

  • Collaborate with field electricians and operations teams to troubleshoot and resolve complex electrical issues.

Technical Skills & Expertise

• Strong knowledge of building electrical systems design and operations, including LV/MV distribution, lighting, and emergency power systems

• Experience with power system analysis tools (e.g., EasyPower) for short-circuit, coordination, and load flow studies

• Deep understanding of applicable codes and standards, including NFPA 70/70E, IEEE, IEC, and local regulations

• Experience supporting construction administration, including submittal review, RFIs, and field inspections

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required); advanced degree preferred

• Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred

• 5+ years of experience in facilities or infrastructure electrical engineering

• Proven track record of managing complex projects and supporting critical operations
