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
