Facilities Electrical Engineer

The Opportunity

The Facilities Electrical Engineer will provide engineering support and document changes to existing and new qualified and non-qualified facility electrical systems in support of infrastructure and operations.

The Facilities Electrical Engineer will guide system design by quantifying requirements, calculating required loads and capacities, performing short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies, reviewing drawings, and working with third-party designers. This role will serve as the technical authority for electrical power distribution, emergency and standby power, lighting, grounding, and fire alarm and low-voltage systems.

The role will also support building automation and power monitoring systems for electrical equipment, including alarm management and developing improvement opportunities.

This position will rely on a strong background in facility electrical systems, including medium- and low-voltage distribution, generators, UPS, and electrical safety and code compliance, as well as working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, fire, and refrigeration interfaces and of control systems design and administration.

What You’ll Work On

Include, but are not limited to, the following

• Create statements of work, perform engineering calculations to size electrical equipment (e.g., transformers, switchgear, panelboards, generators, UPS, conductors, and protective devices) solicit and evaluate vendor proposals, manage the procurement and contract process, and oversee technical aspects of installations or modifications to facility electrical power distribution, emergency and standby power, lighting, grounding, and fire alarm and low-voltage systems based on stakeholders’ input and in collaboration with internal and external partners.
• Support existing facility electrical systems including, but not limited to, hands-on troubleshooting, system set up and adjustment, integration of new equipment, repair, planned maintenance, and performance monitoring.
• Support and maintain electrical power monitoring and building automation systems to ensure performance continually meets environmental requirements and root cause analysis results in the elimination of system-driven excursions. Manage the system to provide meaningful warning of system or equipment failure and eliminate nuisance alarms.
• Monitor building systems operation for energy usage, electrical load, power quality, and capacity; identify improvement opportunities, andopportunities and implement as approved.
• Perform engineering calculations to troubleshoot system operation and implement corrective actions to improve reliability and performance.
• Ensure facility electrical systems comply with applicable codes and standards and support electrical safety programs, including arc-flash labeling, lockout/tagout, and energized work planning.
• Participate in all aspects of project delivery from inception to turnover in accordance with accepted project management principles and internal engineering practices.
• Develop and maintain documentation necessary to ensure consistent, high-quality projects including, but not limited to, record drawings, electrical one-line diagrams, panel schedules, standard operating procedures, user requirements, design specifications, component specifications and selection, and commissioning protocols.
• Process revision changes on qualified systems following change control requirements. Write and manage change requests and change orders for facilities systems.
• Participate in investigations and troubleshooting associated with internal review, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), audits, or complaints.
• Apply engineering knowledge to assist in the consolidation of project requirements and data for interface with functional specialistspecialists on cross-functional teams, to ensure stakeholder understanding of trade-offs amongst cost, schedule, quality, and risk.
• Strong communication skills and ability to communicate effectively across all organizational levels, as well as with external suppliers.
• Uphold company mission and values through accountability, innovation, integrity, quality, and teamwork.
• Support and comply with the company’s Quality Management System policies and procedures.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds for approximately 5% of a typical working day.
• Ability to comply with any applicable personal protective equipment requirements.
• Ability to climb ladders and effectively access equipment and areas of buildings that include traversing unlevel surfaces, and entering hot, cold, dirty, dusty, and loud environments.
• Ability and means to travel between local Exact Sciences locations.
• Ability to travel 10% of working time away from work location, may include overnight/weekend travel.
