Job Description

Electrical Designer III (Power Generation / Industrial Projects)

Contract – Birmingham, AL (anticipated 9–12 months with strong potential for extension). Very competitive pay, time-and-a-half for OT, Mob/Demob, and strong per diem.

Join a growing engineering team supporting power generation and infrastructure projects, including gas turbines, substations, renewables, BESS, and datacenter power systems. You’ll develop construction-ready electrical designs that go directly into the field.


Requirements:

  • Associate degree in Engineering Technology, CAD, or related field
  • 7+ years of electrical design experience in industrial or power environments
  • Experience with power distribution, MCCs, and motor control systems
  • Familiarity with EPC or multidisciplinary project environments
  • Strong knowledge of NEC and electrical design standards
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD; experience with Plant 3D, Revit, or Navisworks preferred
  • Ability to interpret vendor drawings and equipment layouts

Responsibilities:

  • Develop electrical deliverables including:
    • MCC one-lines, layouts, schematics, and cable schedules
    • Grounding, lighting, and power plans
  • Create installation drawings from vendor documentation
  • Perform calculations (lighting, voltage drop, conduit/tray fill, sizing, protection)
  • Determine MCC and substation loading
  • Route conduit and cable tray systems
  • Support MTOs, cost estimates, and construction packages
  • Coordinate with civil, structural, and mechanical teams
  • Provide field support during construction/startup
  • Identify scope changes and support project scheduling

Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong understanding of electrical systems, materials, and construction practices
  • Experience producing constructible designs
  • Familiarity with EPC workflows and coordination
  • Experience with tools like ElecDes, Dialux, or similar (preferred)
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Work on real power infrastructure projects
  • Exposure to turbines, substations, renewables, and datacenter power
  • Designs go directly into construction
  • Strong earning potential with OT + per diem

Additional Info:

  • Travel as needed for field and construction support
