* Perform professional electrical engineering work relating to the design of single line, three line, AC/DC schematics, SCADA \& DFR connections, wiring diagrams, general arrangement, substation layout and bus arrangement, grounding grid design and lightning protection in conformance with applicable rules, standards, and construction or operating permits.
* Participate in incorporating future\-ready techniques, concept development, operating strategies, and various design requirements with equipment sizing and cabling, AC/DC panel design, and conduit and trenching design strategies that account for the safety and functionality of end\-users, systems, and infrastructure.
* Support senior engineers with research and recommendations of fundamental components identified in design requirements, as well as field equipment applications and operations.
* Verify the characteristics of a site, providing technical assistance on various engineering, design, testing maintenance modifications, and construction procedures and issues.
* Develop electrical calculations for loads, equipment sizing, feeder sizing, voltage drop, grounding, lighting circuits and controls, facility and electrical service, and power distribution.
* Prepare data and visualizations such as tables, charts, accurate reports, sketches, calculations, and illustrations for the interpretation or presentation of data, findings, or analyses.
* Maintain quality control standards and procedures for accurate and precise measurements, statistical analysis, and reporting.
* Work as an individual or as part of a cross\-functional team of engineers, planners, scientific, and construction professionals to execute project work, assist with laying out installations, calculating costs and quantities of material/equipment/labor, and ensuring project work conforms with specifications, permit applications, compliance documentation, and regulatory and technical analysis memos.
* Assist with development and scoping of small\- to medium\-sized projects.
* Contribute to the preparation of technical reports and presentations that explain research and findings to improve, prevent, control, restore, or address design and/or electrical engineering issues or problems.
* Conduct engineering studies and surveys to gain further information on a particular design and construction problem or issue and/or to plan for future needs.
* Assist in the analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of data obtained during field investigations, offering input with developing action plans for low to mid\-level risk mitigation activities.
* Assist in the preparation and implementation of site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs).
* Work collaboratively with other engineers and disciplines on projects with electrical infrastructure authorities on Federal, State, regional, and locally funded improvement and development projects.
* Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
