As a global leader in consulting, engineering, and commissioning services, we specialize in highly technical buildings and the systems that bring them to life. We are currently seeking a performance-driven, motivated Arc Flash Electrical Cx Engineer. This role will be based in our Headquarters in New York, NY.

You will demonstrate your engineering skills and by leveraging the firm’s technology centric competitive edge you will work with design engineers, vendors, contractors, and client personnel to design, test, make operational, optimize, and validate Electrical systems in multiple 24x7 mission critical plants, pharmaceutical, healthcare, power generation or similar environments. 

Our dynamic work environment provides the optimal setting to take your commissioning career to the next level. From our supportive culture, diverse workforce, and competitive compensation to our flexible work schedules and fun social events, it is everything you will need for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding career. 

We are seeking a highly skilled Electrical Commissioning Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of hands-on commissioning and testing experience as well as 3+ years of hands-on experience in SKM (15+ projects) across a wide range of building electrical systems. This role requires a understanding of power distribution, emergency/standby systems, lighting controls, grounding, and electrical protection systems, as well as demonstrated proficiency with field testing tools and procedures.  

Key Responsibilities: 

• →Power System Analysis & Design: Perform and/or provide oversight for short circuit calculations, medium and low-voltage coordination evaluations to optimize protective relay and breaker settings, and arc flash studies in compliance with NFPA, IEEE 1584, and other industry standards. Develop or modify power system models to accurately reflect the designed and/or as-built site conditions. Develop and execute standards for power system studies and calculations across groups/offices
• →Data Collection & Documentation: Perform on-site data collection activities as needed (document protective device types and associated settings, develop and document single lines and confirm loading information such as motor HP, full load amps, locked rotor amps, etc.). Prepare error-free engineering documents (e.g., drawings, sketches, instructions, inputs, calculations, analyses, evaluations) according to and bound by industry codes, standards, and regulations to support client engineering needs
• →Execute commissioning activities for electrical building systems.
• →Perform hands-on field-testing using industry-standard equipment such as:
• →Power quality meters (PQM)
• →Infrared (IR) cameras
• →Multimeters, clamp meters, and other diagnostic tools
• →Circuit analyzers and load banks

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of electrical commissioning experience with hands-on testing of building electrical systems, a strong understanding of NETA testing principles, and proficiency performing Short Circuit and Arc Flash studies. Your technical strengths must be complemented by self-motivation, relationship building skills, and effective communication skills. 

Commissioning Engineer requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited university
• 3+ years of SKM, Arc Flash, and power system modeling.
• 5+ years of electrical commissioning or NETA-level testing experience in commercial, industrial, or mission-critical facilities.
• Understanding of NETA testing principles and familiarity with NETA ATS/MTS procedures.
• Hands-on field-testing experience across a wide range of electrical systems.
• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, NETA, IEEE, and related standards.
