Senior Electrical Engineer

Role Overview

• Work as a Sr. Electrical Engineer to grow our electrical engineering services.
• Responsible for mentoring less experienced Electrical Engineers, in the support of our customers.
• Ensure that electrical engineering analysis, troubleshooting, and studies are conducted according to IEEE and NFPA standards, and Shermco excellence.
• Review and approve ongoing and completed engineering work ensuring deadlines are met, and work is completed with accuracy and high quality.
• Responsible for making onsite visits to customer sites and interacting with customers to gather critical information, resolve project issues, customer concerns, and review engineering plans.
• Work with sales and support staff on the estimating and bidding of new projects; co-present project proposal to prospective customers.
• Conduct comprehensive power system studies, including load flow, motor starting, power factor correction, harmonic analysis, and grounding analysis.
• Perform short-circuit studies, protective device coordination, and arc-flash analysis to ensure system safety and reliability.
• Configure and program microprocessor-based relays (e.g., SEL, GE Multilin) for critical generator, transformer and distribution systems.
• Develop detailed electrical diagrams such as one-lines, three-lines, and control schematics.
• Design and modify electrical distribution systems, including motor control centers (MCCs), switchgear, breakers, fuses, transformers, capacitor banks, current and potential transformers, protective relays, and control systems.
• Create, review, and revise complete electrical drawing packages and specifications.
• Lead engineering projects from concept to completion, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are met.
• Coordinate with internal teams, clients, and contractors to define project requirements and expectations.
• Diagnose electrical system issues and develop effective, practical solutions to resolve system deficiencies.
