Electrical EIT/Coordinator, Energy Storage

About the Role

Support grid-scale generation and microgrid projects, focusing on energy storage. Opportunities exist in solar, wind, thermal generation, power delivery, and zero-emission mobility.

Key Responsibilities

• Support grid-scale generation and microgrid projects by developing conceptual layouts and one-line diagrams.
• Support detailed design through the completion of Issue For Construction design packages.
• Conduct analyses to develop electrical design options or recommendations.
• Assist in the preparation of project deliveries, including engineering drawing packages, cost estimates, and project specifications.
• Coordinate with civil, structural, fire & life safety (F&LS), high-voltage electrical, SCADA/telecommunications, water, and geotechnical engineers to develop complete Issue For Construction design packages.
• Provide technical support and assistance to HDR’s team and clients.
• Perform routine engineering assignments requiring standard techniques and procedures.
• Complete projects with clear, specified objectives and limited variables.
• Work independently on small projects or assist more-senior engineers/professionals on larger projects.
• Work with Project Engineers, other Engineers In-Training (EITs), Designers, or BIM Specialists as needed.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering
• Computer skills in Microsoft Office
• Knowledge of three-phase electrical power, protection and control design and settings development, system grounding, and physical design.
• Knowledge of electrical studies such as ampacity, short circuit, load flow, grounding, harmonics, and lighting.
• EIT or ability to obtain. (Candidates hired without their EIT will be titled "Electrical Designer" and will be expected to obtain their EIT for career progression.)
• An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with grid-scale renewable energy (solar and wind generation) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects is highly desired.
• Experience with distributed energy resource (microgrids) projects.
• Experience participating in meetings with clients, contractors, and vendors to support business development and project execution.
• Experience evaluating and analyzing different technologies, products, and vendors and supporting clients with technology and vendor selection and implementation.
• Experience supporting the development of and updates to internal design guidelines, catalogs, and templates for power generation projects.
• Willingness to grow into a mentor, senior engineer role, and more.
• Local candidates preferred.
