  Electrical Engineer II

  Utilized AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, Bluebeam Revu, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word to develop and produce high quality engineering documents including schematic drawings, equipment and wiring schedules, single line diagrams & power distribution schematics, specifications, and calculations for various building systems including medium & low voltage power distribution, lighting & lighting controls, fire alarm, communications and emergency building services. Designed power distribution systems (600V -44kV) for municipal infrastructure such as water treatment plants, pumping stations, and mission-critical facilities including healthcare facilities, paramedic stations, and large-scale distribution centers & data centers.Demonstrated a fundamental understanding of electrical design by producing load calculations in accordance to the OESC / NEC for electrical loads and distribution systems throughout the schematic design and design development stages of a variety of projects. Collaborated with teams of sustainability analysts, acting as an electrical design subject matter expert to inform the implications associated with implementing sustainability measures including replacement of existing motor control centres and introduction of variable frequency drives to serve motor loads, PV Systems, EV infrastructure, and electric heating into existing building power systems. Developed various technical reports & specifications including feasibility studies, building condition assessments, sustainability assessments, and project specifications (Divisions 26, 27 & 28). Performed contract administration duties including regular site visits and reviews to observe project progress and general compliance to contract documents, preparation of Change Notices (CNs) and Site Instructions (SIs), responding to Request for Information (RFI) questions throughout tendering and construction phases of a project.

  Designed and Engineered highly redundant, reliable and available medium and low voltage (12,47kV -480/277V, 120/208/) electrical power systems for mission-critical facilities including battery manufacturing facilities and automotive facilities while demonstrating a strong understanding of local Lodes and standards including, but not limited to the National Electrical Code (NEC). Designs included consideration of 2N redundant power feeds on all major equipment and major coordination activities with local utilities to bring in redundant power services from utilities lines to site to meet tight construction schedules. Designed and Engineered medium voltage protection & control schemes for medium voltage distribution equipment including disconnection from mains when required, switchgear protection and associated draw-out circuit breakers monitoring and remote tripping. Protection & control schemes utilities SEL relays to ensure a high standard of safety, power system monitoring and reliability. Utilized a high level of expertise in Autodesk Revit & Navisworks to model electrical power systems & coordinate the design of power system components including. but not limited to, medium voltage switchgears, switchboards, trans formers, generators, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, and low voltage power equipment in three-dimensions. Modelling in Revit & coordination in Navisworks accounted for all coordination activities including clash detection & resolution and routing of busways, cable-trays, and large conduits among other building services including ducts, pipes, & structural steel resulting in a constructable and coordinated BIM model. Provided mentorship to junior staff including junior engineers and interns by teaching the fundamentals of electrical power systems to junior staff, having junior staff join site-visits and site investigations, and provide junior staff with red-line mark-ups produced Revu by Bluebeam.
