ABOUT YOU

Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for alternative power solutions? Do you love solving for the complex power needs of large-scale construction projects? Are you looking for a company that is constantly trying to push the boundaries of what it means to offer a better construction solution by using design/build? If the answer is “Yes!” then we have an opportunity that will excite you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies.

POSITION SUMMARY

ARCO/Murray is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design and delivery of

mission-critical facilities, including hyperscale data centers and other high-reliability

infrastructure. This role will include the development of practical electrical designs, the

coordination with internal and external project partners, and providing technical support

throughout procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.

The ideal candidate is a technically strong, collaborative engineer who can translate

project requirements into coordinated, constructible electrical systems while maintaining

a high standard for safety, quality, schedule, and cost.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

  • Develop and review electrical designs for medium-voltage and low-voltage power

distribution systems.

  • Prepare and review one-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment

schedules, load summaries, feeder schedules, and design narratives.

  • Support the design of utility services, substations, transformers, switchgear,

generators, UPS systems, automatic transfer equipment, distribution equipment,

grounding, and emergency power systems.

  • Perform or coordinate load-flow, short-circuit, protective-device coordination, arcflash,

voltage-drop, and equipment-sizing studies.

  • Coordinate electrical designs with architectural, structural, mechanical, controls,

fire protection, civil, and construction teams.

  • Participate in BIM coordination, design reviews, constructability reviews, and

interdisciplinary page turns.

  • Review vendor submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, equipment data, and proposed

design changes for technical compliance and constructability.

  • Collaborate with procurement and project teams on long-lead electrical

equipment, technical evaluations, and supplier coordination.

Provide field engineering support during installation, startup, testing, and

commissioning.

  • Assist with troubleshooting, punch-list resolution, functional performance testing,

and turnover documentation.

  • Apply applicable requirements from the NEC, NFPA standards, IEEE standards,

local codes, and project specifications.

  • Communicate technical decisions, risks, and action items clearly to project

stakeholders.

  • Support continuous improvement of design standards, templates, checklists, and

engineering workflows.

NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 3–8 years of electrical engineering experience; mission-critical, data

center, industrial, utility, or high-reliability facility experience is strongly preferred.

  • Working knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution

systems and emergency power systems.

  • Experience interpreting electrical drawings, specifications, equipment data, and

technical studies.

  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or Revit; experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or

similar analysis software is preferred.

  • Understanding of electrical construction methods, equipment procurement,

commissioning, and field coordination.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.
  • Ability to travel to project sites as needed.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

  • Opportunity to work on high-visibility mission-critical and energy projects.
  • Collaborative, design-build environment with direct exposure to engineering,

procurement, construction, and commissioning.

  • Professional development and opportunities for expanded technical and project

responsibility.

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.

We are dedicated to the well-being of our associates and are proud to be consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work. Our compensation and benefits package not only supports our associates and their families but benefits local communities and communities around the world.
