THE OPPORTUNITY

The Electrical Project Manager is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of capital projects with an electrical engineering focus, serving as both technical lead and project manager from initial concept development through final construction and project closeout. This role oversees electrical infrastructure projects involving facility systems, utility coordination, and building-related capital improvements across industrial and manufacturing environments.

The position provides leadership for projects ranging from municipal utility coordination and medium-voltage substations to plant-wide electrical distribution systems spanning 4160V down to 24V control and auxiliary systems. The Electrical Project Engineer is primarily responsible for buildings, facility infrastructure, and associated utilities rather than processing equipment.

This role manages scope of development, budgeting, estimation, design oversight, contractor coordination, construction execution, commissioning, and project documentation while ensuring compliance with safety, regulatory, and company standards.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Project Development & Planning

• Develop project concepts, scopes of work, and technical solutions for capital improvement projects involving electrical infrastructure and facility systems.
• Prepare feasibility studies, front-end engineering assessments, cost estimates, project schedules, and capital appropriation requests.
• Identify project risks, construction concerns, and operational impacts during early project planning.
• Coordinate with operations, maintenance, production, EHS, reliability, and leadership teams to define project requirements and priorities.
• Support long-range capital planning and infrastructure improvement strategies.

Engineering Management

• Serve as the owner's representative and technical authority for electrical design across assigned projects.
• Manage and oversee outside engineering firms and design partners performing detailed engineering and design work.
• Review and approve electrical drawings, specifications, calculations, equipment selections, and construction packages for technical accuracy and compliance.
• Ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and company engineering practices including NEC, NFPA, IEEE, OSHA, and utility requirements.
• Coordinate integration of electrical systems with civil, structural, mechanical, instrumentation, and controls disciplines.

Utility & Infrastructure Coordination

• Interface with municipal utility providers, power companies, and external stakeholders for service upgrades, interconnections, metering, and utility reliability planning.
• Lead projects involving substations, switch gear, transformers, emergency power systems, and plant distribution networks.
• Support medium-voltage and low-voltage system upgrades, reliability improvements, and facility expansion projects.
• Manage permitting, inspections, and regulatory compliance associated with electrical infrastructure projects.

Construction Management

• Oversee field execution of projects including contractor management, schedule performance, quality assurance, and safety compliance.
• Coordinate construction activities to minimize operational disruptions and ensure safe execution within active industrial facilities.
• Conduct site visits, progress reviews, contractor meetings, and field problem resolution.
• Manage commissioning, startup support, punch lists, and project turnover to operations and maintenance teams.
• Verify as-built documentation and final project closeout requirements.

Financial & Administrative Management

• Develop and manage project budgets, forecasts, and capital spending plans.
• Evaluate contractor bids, proposals, and change orders.
• Track project costs, schedules, and performance metrics to ensure successful project delivery.
• Prepare project status reports and executive updates for leadership.
• Support procurement activities for major electrical equipment and construction services.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline required.
• Minimum 5-10 years of experience managing industrial capital projects with significant electrical scope.
• Strong working knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage power distribution systems.
• Experience with substations, switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS systems, and industrial facility electrical infrastructure.
• Experience managing consulting engineers, contractors, and construction execution.
• Understanding of NEC, NFPA, IEEE, OSHA, and applicable electrical safety standards.
• Strong project management skills including budgeting, scheduling, and contractor management.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with operations, maintenance, engineering, and leadership teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial plants, chemical facilities, food processing, or heavy industrial environments preferred.
• Experience with utility coordination and medium-voltage distribution systems preferred.
• Familiarity with Arc Flash studies, power system analysis, and electrical reliability programs preferred.

Key Competencies

• Capital project management execution
• Electrical infrastructure design and oversight, in a consulting design engineering firm role
• Medium-voltage power distribution systems
• Low and Very-low building level voltage systems
• PLC Controls systems
• Building Automation Systems and controls
• Utility coordination
• Contractor and construction management
• Budgeting and cost control
• Risk assessment and mitigation
• Cross-functional leadership
• Technical problem solving
• Regulatory and code compliance
• Communication and stakeholder management

Reporting Structure

Typically reports to:
Engineering Manager

May provide functional oversight to:
Contractors, consulting engineers, designers, project coordinators, and construction personnel

Work Environment

This position requires a combination of office-based engineering work and field presence within active industrial and manufacturing facilities. Regular site visits, construction oversight, and coordination with operating departments are required. Occasional off-hours support may be necessary during shutdowns, outages, commissioning, and critical project milestones.

Travel Requirements

This position requires regular domestic and occasional international travel in support of capital projects, engineering coordination, and cross-site collaboration. Retaining a valid passport is required.

• Domestic travel is expected approximately 25% of the time, with the majority consisting of regional driving, day trips, and overnight travel to support project execution, site inspections, contractor coordination, and facility needs.
• Occasional domestic air travel may be required for visits to remote facilities, project support, corporate meetings, and major project milestones.
• North American travel outside the immediate region typically occurs approximately two times per year for project coordination, bench-marking, and support of sister facilities.
• International overseas travel is generally required once per year to visit global manufacturing sites, collaborate with engineering teams, align project standards, and participate in department meetings with international colleagues.

Travel flexibility is required to support project schedules, plant outages, shutdowns, commissioning activities, and critical capital project execution timelines.
