Sr Lead Electrical Engineer - 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 Engineer is the electrical discipline lead on the QDC Engineering team, responsible for the technical completeness, technical compatibility 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. In QDC's current delivery model the detailed design is performed by Quanta engineering OpCos and third-party engineers of record; the Senior Lead Electrical Engineer provides technical oversight of that work, sets and enforces QDC design criteria, reviews calculations, drawings and specifications, and asks the questions the designer cannot: is the system complete, does it work with the rest of the project, and is this the right application for the equipment selected. The Senior Lead Electrical Engineer reports to the (Sr) Engineering Project Manager, QDC, supports all projects in the division, works hand in hand with the Senior Lead Electrical Designer, and serves as the electrical technical 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 lead the electrical discipline, planning, assigning and reviewing the work of QDC engineers and designers. What You'll Do: DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES Technical Design & System Definition Develop and maintain QDC electrical design criteria and the project basis of design for the utility interconnect, medium-voltage distribution, generator and paralleling systems, UPS and critical power distribution, grounding and raceway systems, including redundancy topology, voltage levels, equipment ratings and spare capacity Develop or review one-line diagrams, load lists and load flow, equipment sizing (transformers, switchgear, generators, UPS, feeders) and protection philosophy for the power distribution system; confirm the design delivers the client's availability and maintainability requirements Perform, direct or review electrical studies (short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, load flow, voltage drop, cable ampacity and grounding) and confirm the results are carried into equipment ratings, settings, labels and layouts Prepare or review equipment specifications, data sheets and technical requisitions for major electrical equipment, and lead technical bid evaluations and vendor submittal reviews for switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS and PDUs Apply applicable codes and standards (for example NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, NFPA 110, IEEE and ANSI standards, and NESC where the utility interface requires it) and client design criteria; identify deviations, requirements versus preferences, and the risks of each Support proposals and early engineering with electrical concepts, equipment lists, order-of-magnitude quantities, long-lead equipment identification and technical narratives Design Oversight, Review & Quality Provide technical oversight of OpCo and third-party electrical design from concept through IFC: review calculat…
