ElectricalDesign Engineer

ABM is seeking a highly skilled Electrical Design Engineer to be the subject matter expert for all electrical infrastructure and power system requirements during the rapid deployment and expansion of Waymo operational sites. Reporting functionally to the Senior Project Manager this role is crucial for ensuring that all new or modified site electrical systems meet stringent safety codes handle specialized Waymo load requirements (e.g. charging infrastructure server rooms) and are designed for optimal long-term facility maintenance by ABM teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Electrical System Design and Engineering

• Load Analysis and Sizing: Perform detailed electrical load calculations short-circuit analysis and voltage drop calculations for new facility systems and modifications.
• Design Package Creation: Develop complete electrical design packages including one-line diagrams power distribution plans lighting layouts fire alarm system interfaces and grounding details compliant with NEC and local jurisdictional codes.
• Specialized Systems: Design and specify electrical infrastructure for critical client equipment including data center components specialized charging stations for autonomous vehicles and battery storage/backup systems.
• Peer Review: Conduct technical reviews of designs provided by external A&E firms or contractors to ensure they align with ABMs maintenance standards and Waymos operational specifications.

2. Technical Support and Construction Oversight

• Permitting: Prepare and compile necessary electrical documentation and calculations for submission to Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to secure required permits on compressed timelines.
• Construction Support: Provide technical support and clarification to the Project Managers and construction teams during the rapid deployment phase addressing RFIs related to electrical installation promptly.
• Commissioning and Verification: Participate in the commissioning process for new electrical systems verifying proper installation and functionality and ensuring accurate as-built documentation is produced.

3. Standards and Efficiency

• Standardization: Develop and maintain ABMs internal electrical design standards for Waymo sites ensuring consistency energy efficiency and ease of future maintenance across the portfolio.
• Energy Solutions: Identify and recommend energy-efficient electrical solutions integrating with ABMs broader energy management services where applicable.
• Troubleshooting: Act as the highest level of technical escalation for complex electrical issues identified during site startup or early operations.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an accredited institution.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly preferred. EIT certification with significant progression toward PE is acceptable.
• At least 5 years of experience in electrical design engineering focused on commercial industrial or critical facilities (e.g. data centers vehicle maintenance depots or manufacturing).

Technical Proficiency:

Expert knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g. AutoCAD Revit ETAP or specialized calculation software).

Hands-on experience with medium and low-voltage power distribution systems lighting controls and fire alarm systems.

Attributes: Strong problem-solving skills ability to manage multiple designs simultaneously and effective technical communication.

Travel: Ability to travel up to 35% to new and existing sites for assessments code reviews and construction support.
