Electrical Engineer

Company Description

Senior Electrical Engineer, Power Systems and Industrial Facilities, Hybrid

As our new Senior Electrical Engineer, you will join Ramboll’s multi discipline engineering team delivering industrial manufacturing and water and wastewater projects across the US. You will serve as a technical leader who develops sound, code compliant electrical designs, performs and reviews engineering calculations, and uses power system modeling tools to drive decisions from front end loading through detailed design and construction support.

This role is intentionally centered on engineering judgment and analysis. You will be expected to evaluate alternatives, document assumptions, and guide design outcomes using NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace (70E), and relevant Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards, including IEEE 1584 and IEEE 242 as applicable, while partnering with designers and other disciplines to deliver coordinated packages.

Work Arrangement and Travel

This position is hybrid. Two days per week in the office is ideal to support collaboration, mentoring, and interdisciplinary coordination. We are open to remote applicants who demonstrate strong, relevant experience and the ability to work effectively with minimal supervision, while maintaining reliable communication and responsiveness to project needs.

Travel is expected to be less than 10 percent and will typically be associated with site visits, client coordination, and construction support activities.

Job Description

What You Will Do

You will be accountable for technical quality and for making defensible engineering decisions across the project lifecycle, including feasibility and front end loading studies, detailed design, constructability review, and construction support.

Your Core Responsibilities Will Include

• Performing and reviewing power system studies such as short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash hazard evaluation, and load flow, using SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent tools, and translating results into practical design direction and deliverables.
• Developing and checking electrical calculations and design criteria, including equipment sizing, feeder sizing, voltage drop, grounding and bonding, and protection philosophy, with clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.
• Applying and interpreting NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards to ensure designs are safe, buildable, and consistent with best practice, including arc flash labeling and mitigation recommendations when applicable.
