Description:
This EIC Lead will serve as the technical lead for Power & Electrical engineering and design on industrial projects, while partnering with (and complementing) an existing team strong in instrumentation, controls, and automation. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in industrial LV/MV power distribution, electrical design deliverables, and power system studies, and can also support I&C scope through strong interface coordination and practical understanding of control system implementation.
Responsibilities:
Power Distribution & Electrical Design Leadership
- Lead industrial power distribution system design (LV/MV), including load lists, one-line diagrams, switchgear, MCCs, transformers, motors, VFDs/soft-starters, UPS/standby power, generators, load lists and grounding architecture.
- Develop electrical design deliverables and direct others in production: single-line and three-line diagrams, schematics, wiring/interconnection diagrams, cable schedules, conduit/cable tray plans & details, equipment layouts, lighting and grounding plans, heat trace details, and BOMs.
- Perform and check electrical calculations: cable sizing and derating, voltage drop, cable tray fill, equipment sizing/rating validation, grounding sizing, and lighting calculations (as applicable).
- Specify and requisition electrical equipment; prepare datasheets/specifications, RFQs, technical bid evaluations, purchase requisitions, and vendor drawing reviews; support FAT/SAT as required.
- Support hazardous location requirements and electrical area classification interfaces with process safety and operations.
Power System Studies / Electrical Safety
- Perform and/or oversee power system studies using ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower (or equivalent): short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, load flow, motor starting, and voltage drop assessment.
- Develop and/or review arc flash labels, study documentation, and electrical safety deliverables aligned with applicable codes and standards (e.g., NFPA 70/70E, NESC, IEEE, API, client standards).
- Participate in process safety activities and ensure electrical design supports PHA/LOPA action items, safeguarding, and critical shutdown functions (where applicable).
Instrumentation / Controls
- Coordinate electrical interfaces with controls and instrumentation teams (panel power, I/O power requirements, grounding/shielding, comms/network architecture interfaces).
- Support development/review of EIC documentation (e.g., P&IDs impacts, I/O lists, Cause & Effect, control narratives) as needed to ensure alignment with power and safety requirements.
- Provide oversight/technical input for PLC/HMI scope when required; hands-on programming is not the primary function of this role.
Quality, Leadership & Project Execution
- Serve as electrical discipline lead: define design basis, work plans, and deliverable lists; drive 30/60/90/IFC reviews; ensure consistent QA/QC and constructability.
- Estimate electrical engineering hours for proposals and execution; track progress, earned hours, and support schedule/budget management with project managers.
- Mentor and coordinate with designers/engineers; provide checking and coaching to strengthen Tegre’s electrical bench and execution consistency.
Typical Deliverables
- Electrical Design Basis / Criteria and load summaries
- Electrical one-line / three-line diagrams; power distribution schematics
- Power system studies: short circuit, coordination, arc flash, load flow, motor starting
- Cable sizing / voltage drop calculations; cable schedules
- Cable Specifications
- Conduit and cable tray plans, details, and schedules; tray fill calculations
- Grounding/earthing plans and details; bonding and shielding concepts
- Lighting plans and details
- Lightning protection interfaces (as applicable)
- MCC/switchgear/transformer/UPS/VFD specifications and datasheets
- Control panel and junction box layouts and details; wiring diagrams and schematics
- Area classification interfaces and equipment selection support
- Cause & Effect diagrams and control narratives (supporting)
- As-built / record drawings based on field walkdowns and redlines
Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
- 10+ years of experience in industrial electrical power design for Oil & Gas and/or RNG facilities (E&P, midstream, downstream, compression, treating, metering, pipelines, terminals, processing).
- Demonstrated capability to personally perform and lead/review electrical design deliverables (one-lines, load lists, grounding, lighting, cable tray/conduit, equipment specifications).
- Proven experience performing and/or directing power system studies (short circuit, coordination, arc flash, load flow, motor starting) using ETAP/SKM/EasyPower or equivalent.
- Strong working knowledge of applicable codes/standards and client practices (e.g., NEC/NFPA, NFPA 70E, IEEE, API/PIP as applicable).
- Strong communication and leadership skills; ability to coordinate directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams with limited supervision.
Preferred
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license; ability and willingness to serve as Electrical Engineer of Record (EOR) and expand Tegre’s internal stamping capability.
- Experience with hazardous locations, area classification, and brownfield tie-ins/retrofits.
- Experience with commissioning/startup support and field troubleshooting of industrial power distribution and controls systems.
- Experience with AutoCAD / AutoCAD Electrical and common project delivery platforms; ability to establish drawing standards and checking workflows.
Working Conditions:
- Travel typically 0–15% depending on project mix; construction support or secondment opportunities may require additional travel.
- Work will include office engineering/design plus periodic field walkdowns, data collection, and commissioning support.
Performance Metrics:
Success in this role looks like:
- Lead Power & Electrical scope from design basis through IFC, delivering safe, constructible, code-compliant packages for O&G and RNG facilities.
- Personally perform and/or direct electrical calculations and power system studies (e.g., short circuit, coordination, arc flash, load flow, motor starting).
- Own electrical technical quality (QA/QC), mentor designers/engineers, and support maturing Tegre standards, templates, and checking practices.
- Coordinate EIC interfaces so power distribution designs integrate cleanly with automation, instrumentation, and process requirements.
