Electrical Design Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a 3D Electrical Design Engineer III based in United States.

• Develop, coordinate, and maintain complex 3D models, layouts, and renderings for utility-scale solar PV and battery energy storage projects using Autodesk Inventor or comparable tools.
• Produce detailed, construction-ready 3D representations of battery storage systems, inverters, transformers, switchgear, cable management systems, equipment pads, racking, structural supports, and balance-of-system components.
• Design and resolve electrical layouts involving cable routing, conduit, cable trays, trenching, grounding, equipment clearances, cable management, and equipment interconnections.
• Own assigned project models throughout their lifecycle, maintaining organization, revision control, file management, and documentation integrity.
• Identify and resolve spatial conflicts, constructability concerns, and interface issues across civil, electrical, structural, and mechanical disciplines.
• Produce and review drawing sheet sets, technical details, documentation, and renderings derived from 3D models.
• Coordinate multiple concurrent PV and BESS assignments or significant portions of complex projects while maintaining quality and schedule commitments.
• Support scope development, level-of-effort estimates, schedules, resource planning, and technical assumptions for 3D design activities.
• Identify technical risks, coordination conflicts, and potential schedule impacts early and communicate recommended solutions to project leadership.
• Support fabrication, procurement, and installation planning by developing coordinated and constructible models.
• Conduct QA/QC reviews of models, drawings, and design deliverables for accuracy, completeness, constructability, and compliance with applicable requirements.
• Review vendor- and client-provided models, identify discrepancies, and coordinate their resolution before incorporation into project designs.
• Ensure assigned work aligns with internal standards, client requirements, applicable industry codes, and jurisdictional regulations.
• Coordinate designers working on project deliverables, helping align their work with project schedules and priorities.
• Develop training materials, technical documentation, modeling standards, and lessons learned to promote consistent practices across the team.
• Participate in client design reviews and present models and visualizations while explaining equipment layouts, cable routing, and constructability decisions.
• Advise project managers and discipline leads on modeling strategies, sequencing, technical trade-offs, and design coordination.
• Contribute to modeling templates, libraries, automation initiatives, and emerging digital engineering workflows that improve design quality and efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, engineering technology, design, drafting/CADD, a related technical discipline, or equivalent applicable professional experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in electrical engineering design, technical design, or drafting for power generation, industrial, infrastructure, or comparable projects.
• At least 5 years of professional experience using Autodesk Inventor or equivalent 3D design software in a professional engineering or design environment.
• Demonstrated electrical design experience involving cable routing, cable management, grounding, equipment interconnections, and equipment layout for large-scale power generation or industrial projects.
• Experience coordinating design work across civil, electrical, structural, and related engineering disciplines.
• Experience producing and reviewing drawing sheet sets and technical documentation generated from 3D models.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent assignments with limited guidance and apply sound technical judgment to complex design challenges.
• Experience with utility-scale battery energy storage systems and solar PV projects is preferred.
• Advanced experience with AutoCAD or related Autodesk design tools is preferred.
• Knowledge of AC and DC systems, cable schedules, conduit and trenching, cable tray systems, grounding, and equipment interconnections.
• Familiarity with standards and regulations such as the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), IEEE standards, or comparable electrical and safety requirements.
• Experience mentoring designers and supporting client-facing design reviews or technical coordination meetings is an advantage.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify design conflicts and develop practical solutions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
