Support and administer electrical safety programs for production, test, and launch infrastructure focusing on NFPA 70E compliance and personnel protection.
Обязанности
- Support the EHS Business Operations team in administering the electrical safety program in accordance with NFPA 70E, including shock protection, arc-flash protection, energized electrical work permits, approach boundaries, and electrically safe work conditions
- Develop, maintain, and control lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, switching-order templates, and live-dead-live verification practices for switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, automatic transfer switches (ATS), generators, distribution equipment, and production and ground-support loads
- Coordinate arc-flash hazard analysis and incident energy studies (IEEE 1584), maintain equipment-labeling standards, and define PPE categories, working distances, and restricted/limited approach boundaries for AC and DC systems, including outdoor installations
- Support qualification, training, and audit of electrical workers as NFPA 70E Qualified Persons; develop electrical safety training content and tracking for operators, technicians, contractors, and construction partners
- Maintain the review and approval process for energized work, electrical switching, and commissioning procedures; define the criteria EHS uses to stop work when conditions do not meet electrically safe work practice requirements
- Maintain standards for grounding, bonding, equipotential bonding, lightning protection, and power quality monitoring so equipment damage and personnel injury are prevented
- Document and maintain generator, ATS, and backup-power transfer expectations for personnel safety during planned and unplanned transfers, including black-start, paralleling, and restoration during utility outages, storms, and site operations
- Partner with design, construction, and commissioning teams on behalf of EHS Business Operations to integrate electrical safety into new builds and expansions: one-line diagrams, protective device coordination, short-circuit studies, temporary power, and construction LOTO across production, test, and launch areas
- Run structured risk assessments of electrical systems, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and electrical hazard assessments for medium- and low-voltage distribution, classified hazardous locations, and high-energy equipment, and feed results into EHS risk and action tracking
- Support investigation of electrical incidents, near misses, shock events, and arc-flash events; track root-cause analysis and corrective actions to closure
- Track and report electrical hazards associated with hot work near energized equipment, cooling or ventilation failures, and environmental conditions that degrade insulation, PPE, enclosures, and equipment ratings
- Maintain safe operating limits and emergency response procedures for electrical events, including arc flash, shock, power loss, and fire involving electrical equipment, aligned with site emergency response and operational constraints
- Maintain compliance processes for applicable codes and standards, including NFPA 70 (NEC) as adopted by the applicable jurisdiction, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, OSHA 1910 Subpart S, IEEE, IEC, and hazardous-location requirements
- Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and utility providers so electrical safety requirements are enforced during installation, maintenance, interconnection, and repairs on power infrastructure
- Own electrical safety metrics, audit readiness, document control, and recurring business reviews so EHS leadership can see program health, gaps, and corrective-action status across supported operations

- The Environmental Health and Safety Business Operations team is seeking a highly driven electrical safety engineer to support how EHS runs electrical safety across production, test, and launch infrastructure. This role builds and maintains the programs, procedures, training, metrics, and compliance processes the team uses to keep medium- and low-voltage power systems, manufacturing equipment, ground support systems, and construction power aligned with personnel-protection and control-reliability requirements as operations scale. The ideal candidate will have a comprehensive understanding of industrial electrical system architecture, NFPA 70E electrical safety work practices, and the hazards associated with switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, generators, temporary power, and equipment in hazardous locations.
