Sr Lead Electrical Designer - QDC

About Us QISG leverages Quanta’s comprehensive resources to deliver collaborative solutions for our partners' energy infrastructure needs. We use in-house talent, expertise and resources to plan, design, engineer, manage, conduct maintenance on and construct projects. Our turnkey service capabilities provide our customers with efficiency, consistency, attention to detail and safe execution. The QISG team brings together Engineering, Safety, Quality, Material Procurement, QA/QC, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Scheduling, Environmental Planning, Permitting, Title and Land Management expertise that ensure outstanding results for our clients. About this Role GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Senior Lead Electrical Designer is a senior member of the QDC Engineering team responsible for the layout, arrangement, completeness and buildability of electrical scope on fast-track, advanced technology projects: the utility interconnect and substation interface, medium-voltage distribution, generator and paralleling switchgear yards, transformers, switchgear, UPS and critical power distribution, electrical rooms, duct banks, cable tray and raceway, and grounding. Working across the client, Quanta engineering and construction OpCos, equipment vendors and third parties, this position makes sure the electrical scope is complete, constructable, procurable and compatible with the rest of the project scope before it is issued for construction (IFC). The Senior Lead Electrical Designer reports to the (Sr) Engineering Project Manager, QDC, supports all projects in the division, and serves as an electrical design point of contact between Engineering, Procurement, Field Operations and the client from proposal and early engineering through detail design, construction, startup and commissioning. As the QDC Engineering team grows, this position is expected to serve as lead designer for electrical scope, planning, assigning and checking the work of QDC and OpCo designers and drafters. What You'll Do DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES Design, Layout & Arrangements Develop 2D and 3D electrical layouts and models for advanced technology facility sites, including the substation and utility interconnect interface, medium-voltage switchgear, transformers and feeders, generator and paralleling switchgear yards, electrical room and equipment arrangements (switchgear, UPS and battery systems, PDUs and busway), duct banks and manholes, cable tray, conduit racks and raceway routing, and grounding and lightning protection; review and coordinate the low-voltage building systems (lighting, receptacles, fire alarm and telecommunications pathways) prepared by the engineer of record or OpCo so they fit the power distribution and equipment layout Produce and check design deliverables such as electrical site plans, one-line diagrams drafted from the engineer's design, equipment room plans and elevations, duct bank plans and sections, cable tray and conduit routing plans, conduit and cable schedules, raceway fill and pull calculations, grounding plans, equipment arrangement and anchoring details, and bills of material Develop layouts that maintain NEC working clearances, arc-flash boundaries, equipment maintenance and replacement paths, cable bending radii and pull distances; design in capacity for change and growth where the added cost is low (space, dirt, concrete and steel), such as spare duct bank conduits, tray capacity, spare equipment positions and oversized pads, to protect the schedule from late equipment changes Lead interference and clash detection for electrical scope in the 3D model, with particular attention to duct banks against foundations and underground piping and to cable tray and conduit against mechanical and piping scope; resolve or escalate clashes before they reach the field Review vendor and equipment drawings for switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS and PDUs for footprints, weights, termination and cable landing locations, conduit entries, clearances and shippi…
