Remote Forensic Electrical Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Electrical Engineer - GHG Corporation

GHG Corporation provides logistical support to the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) for the Antarctic Support Contract (ASC). The specified support includes remote operation and maintenance of facilities, vehicles, and equipment at various USAP stations, as well as a research vessel. Support is also provided to all NSF-sponsored research projects in Antarctica and includes construction and operations at USAP stations and temporary field camps.

Project Description

• This position requires State Licensure as an Electrical Engineer, with preference for Power emphasis. While Colorado is preferred, any duly licensed Electrical Engineer under a State Licensing Board is acceptable. The Licensed Electrical Engineer should have 8 to 10 years' experience in general (commercial, light industrial) electrical designs (lighting, power distribution, motor sizing/controls, code compliance – design and safety practices), and remote, cold-weather designs with practice knowledge of Power Generation and Distribution, MV/LV design for various occupancy buildings and support facilities.
• Provide coverage for the Program Electrical Engineer until a permanent employee can be onboarded. As such, this is not anticipated to be a long term contract, greater than 6 months. This is a critical position to the Engineering Support Team who provide competent, licensed design/discipline professionals.
• Define electrical engineering basis of design based on the USAP Building Code (which is derived from the International Building Code) and discipline specific codes and standards including NFPA 70, 70E, NESC to deliver client requirements documented in a Project Charter, Project Execution Plan (PEP), Mission Needs Statements (MNS), and similar, for Capital, minor recapitalization, and science projects.
• Develop, with support of designers, conceptual, preliminary, detailed, and approved for construction documents. These drawings will require:
  • Specifications or specific material call outs, including products, and related vendor part numbers,
  • Provision of design details unique to the Antarctic environment, including working closely with Mechanical Engineers to assure appropriate energy conservation practices are achieved, and
  • Code analysis and recognition that solutions to code compliance may require recommendation to organically resolve issues through Code Amendment. While waivers to code are possible, they are not the preferred solution and are highly discouraged by both the client and ASC Engineering.
• Respond, in writing, to Client and their subcontractor's comments that will be requested at Conceptual, Preliminary, and Detail design. Where needed, this may include discussions with the Client or their subcontractor and providing short opinion or white papers to present the ASC Engineering Support team position.
• Work with Facilities Management and their Facility Engineers and Tradespeople to identify, provide analysis, and recommendation for Design Engineering Estimating Requests (DEER) as assigned. These DEER may result in minor recapitalization projects which will then require the Electrical Engineer to provide their discipline input as described above.
• Through POC, work with Project Managers on delivery of basis of design, and drawing packages.
• Through POC, work with Construction Managers to address, as assigned, request for information related to AFC drawings being implemented. These requests will generally require responses in three days or less to align with the construction schedule needs.
• Through POC, work with Quality Assurance in defining special or unique quality assurance requirements in the inspection, testing, or commissioning of electrical equipment.
• Through POC, work with Safety and Environmental functions to assure compliance with applicable safety rules and environmental agreements.
• Through POC, provide oversite of Coordination and Arc Flash studies and work with Utilities staff on the understanding and scope of studies performed.
• In delivery of the work product, the POC will provide written communication and documentation (both public and non-public) that has been vetted for use by the subcontractor through Leidos document control procedures. Note, any Leidos provided documents are considered proprietary and confidential for use by the subcontractor and not to be shared unless specifically directed by the POC.
• In delivery of the work product, the POC will provide written communication to the Electrical Engineer on attendance to various corroboration, coordination, and communication meetings by the various functions they have business in supporting.
