Job Description

Electrical Design Engineer

Trane Technologies

• Develop complete electrical system designs for lighting, power distribution, emergency systems, and controls for commercial and industrial facilities. • Prepare designs for roof, ground, and canopy photovoltaic systems including: site layouts, single line diagrams, generation models, and interconnection applications. • Produce construction-ready drawing packages: plans, schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment layouts, and specifications using AutoCAD, Revit, BIM360, or similar design tools. • Perform engineering calculations: load analysis, short-circuit, coordination, arc flash, voltage drop, conduit sizing and energy efficiency assessments. • Ensure all designs are fully compliant with applicable codes and standards (NEC, NFPA, IEEE, ANSI, UL, IEC, UBC). • Collaborate with architects, clients, utility companies, and other engineering disciplines to ensure inter-discipline coordination and constructability. • Participate in site surveys, field investigations, and construction support activities—overseeing data collection, installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning. • Prepare technical documents including engineering reports, cost estimates, permit applications, technical specifications, and as-built documentation. • Support permit and interconnection application processes with local agencies, authorities, or utilities. • Maintain up-to-date technical knowledge of emerging technologies and recommend innovative solutions to enhance project performance and cost-effectiveness. • Provide mentoring to junior staff engineers and designers as appropriate.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; advanced degree (MS) preferred.
  • State-issued Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • 7+ years of progressive electrical engineering design experience in building electrical systems and/or renewable energy projects.
  • Competency in engineering principles and design methodologies related to the solar PV industry including production modeling, array layout, component selection, single- and three-line diagrams, glare studies, arc flash, etc.
  • Demonstrated expertise with electrical design and modeling software (AutoCAD, Revit, PVcase, PVsyst, Helioscope, ETB, etc.).
  • Deep familiarity with construction/renovation practices for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities.
  • Demonstrated experience contributing as a key engineering member on design-build projects, including collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions.
  • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and technical writing skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experienced in the design and delivery of medium and high-voltage systems, substations, energy storage integration, and complex power distributions.
  • Strong knowledge of permitting, compliance, and interconnection processes for both buildings and renewable power.
