Work with lead design engineers and clients to develop electrical models and studies to support the project design process.
Develop detailed system models that accurately represent the plant in design and perform a variety of studies, including short circuit and effective grounding, load flow and reactive power, harmonics, insulation coordination, power and energy loss, concentric neutral induced voltage, arc flash, grounding, lightning risk assessments, and transient studies for switching and overvoltage.
Produce written reports conveying study results within the project schedule.
Coordinate with internal project leads and project managers, as well as external clients, owners, and related engineers (such as independent and owner’s engineers).
Review the work of others performing similar studies to ensure product quality prior to client submission.
