Company Summary: You---ll be joining a growing Engineering Firm where we are dedicated to supporting each other and building an atmosphere of teamwork. As part of our team, your opportunities are limitless. In addition to the valuable skills gained through training and on-the-job experience, we offer competitive pay and benefits. We are currently seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our dynamic Team supporting Civil, Rail & Transportation projects in the SF Bay Area. Position Summary: The Electrical Engineer will work collaboratively with Traction Power & Electrical Engineers and Construction/Maintenance/Documentation staff to continually update Electrification Plans, Book 36 and Book 400. These documents are used extensively by Engineering and Maintenance Department and require regular updates to reflect accurate field conditions as system conditions may change for various reasons, such as new construction projects and maintenance modifications. Future design, maintenance and troubleshooting issues on the system requires an up-to-date manual and accurate as-built drawings for efficiency and safety. Part of the work set in this scope would be to collect as much as-built information as possible from stakeholders, such as design/construction/maintenance staff and projects that have not been incorporated into these documents. Furthermore, this WP will also assist in the development, implementation, and maintenance of a permanent channel of communication that will streamline the process for submitting new field condition information. Responsibilities Review design and construction documents to gain familiarization with completed projects. This may include the review of some of the later comment resolution notes to understand concerns raised and the designer---s responses. Also review construction schedules and meet with Agency staff to understand the work plans and any deviations that were required during installation. Coordinate between Agency Engineering and Maintenance staff and conduct fields visits to prepare Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) as-built drawings. This task will include preparation of field markups of design drawings to confirm installation per the drawings, and red-line markups of installations differing from the design drawings. Work with Agency Documentation and CAD staff to prepare final as-built drawings. Utilize information from the as-built drawings to make modifications to Agency Electrification Manual to reflect new system conditions. Coordinate with stakeholders in the facilitation of permanent channels of communication within the district---s IT infrastructure to allow for a streamlined method of receiving edit requests. Input to Agency Asset Management System, Maximo, to reflect the updated asset replacement project. Regular scheduled meetings and meeting notes with Agency project management and the Traction Power Division manager summarizing progress made, planned work and necessary resources for the coming tasks. List of outstanding items (punch-list) with estimated date of completion, and any challenges requiring management action. Qualifications Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field Minimum 5-year experience in design and field inspection of electrical system installations such as power distribution and substructure work. Experience inspecting underground and above grade conduits raceway systems, equipment grounding systems and foundations, and testing/commissioning Traction Power assets preferred. Experience in quality control and Agency---s as-built documentation process is highly desirable. Demonstrates proficient use of the NEC - National Electrical Code (also known as NFPA 70 - National Fire Protection Association), the NFPA 130 (Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail), and the CPUC GO 128 - California Public Utility Commission General Order 128.
