- Your experience may come from consulting, contracting, electrical trades, commissioning, facilities operations, military technical training, or another path.
Responsibilities
- Translate stakeholder needs into electrical load forecasts, capacity plans, design criteria, and distribution concepts for bench, lab, rack test, and data center environments.
- Develop single-line diagrams, load calculations, equipment requirements, and preliminary layouts. Evaluate distribution architectures and equipment including transformers, switchgear, UPS, generators, ATS, panelboards, busway, and rack power distribution.
