The Building Electrical Group at Dennis Group is looking to solve the problem of designing and building electrical systems for food and beverage production facilities, including lighting, fire protection, and low voltage systems.
Requirements
- Proficiency with MS Office (Excel, Word, Access)
- Familiarity with three phase power, the National Electric Code, wireless radio systems, fire and security systems, Fiber or LAN cabling is a plus
- Familiarity with designing lighting, fire alarm systems, and low voltage systems for building spaces, including lighting calculations, and coordinating fixture placement with trades
- Familiarity AutoCAD, Revit, or similar software
- Understanding of Ohms Law, AC/DC, Electric and magnetic fields
- Understanding of power system theory – 3-phase vector math, power factor, symmetrical components
- Understanding of capacitors, inductors, and resonance
Responsibilities
- Design electrical systems for building power, i.e. normal, emergency, and standby power distribution systems for 208v, 480v, and medium voltage for industrial facilities.
- Document all necessary calculations for the design such as short circuit, selective coordination, arc flash, generator sizing, steady state and transient voltage drops, load calculations, conductor sizing, raceway fills, etc.
- Design lighting for food processing spaces, including lighting calculations for emergency and inspection lighting level needs. Coordinate fixture placement/mounting with other trades.
- Design fire alarm systems per NFPA 72, 101, and local building code.
- Design low voltage systems such as LAN, phones, PA, Wi-Fi, access control, cameras, etc.
- Produce bid documents consisting of layout drawings, one-line, riser, schedules, details, and specifications.
- CAD – add 2D devices to Xrefs
