Remote | Power Systems & Electrical Design Engineer — $60–$75/hour

We are sharing a specialised short-term consulting opportunity for experienced electrical engineers with strong hands-on expertise in power systems, electrical design, distribution systems, protection, equipment sizing, and system-level engineering. This role focuses on analysing and evaluating complex electrical systems against technical requirements, engineering standards, and performance criteria. Selected professionals will review designs, calculations, schematics, equipment specifications, and engineering trade-offs across industrial, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and related applications. Key Responsibilities Electrical System Design Develop, analyse, and evaluate electrical designs based on technical requirements and system specifications Review electrical systems, circuits, equipment, and components Assess design assumptions, constraints, and engineering approaches Identify technical weaknesses, inconsistencies, or opportunities for improvement Apply practical engineering judgement to real-world electrical systems Power Distribution Systems Evaluate low- and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems Review power-system architecture, loads, feeders, and equipment requirements Assess distribution-system performance and design suitability Identify potential reliability, capacity, or protection issues Evaluate alternative configurations and engineering trade-offs Electrical Calculations & Studies Perform and review load flow, voltage drop, short-circuit analysis, protection coordination, and equipment-sizing calculations Assess calculation assumptions and input data Verify whether engineering results satisfy project requirements Identify errors or inconsistencies in technical analyses Review power-system studies for completeness and engineering validity Equipment Selection & Specification Evaluate selection and sizing of transformers, switchgear, cables, motors, and protection equipment Review technical specifications and equipment requirements Assess whether selected components are appropriate for system conditions Identify sizing, compatibility, or performance concerns Review vendor documentation and equipment datasheets where relevant Schematics & Technical Documentation Interpret and review single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, layouts, and technical drawings Assess documentation for accuracy, completeness, and consistency Identify discrepancies between drawings, calculations, and equipment specifications Review technical submittals and engineering documentation Ensure design intent is clearly reflected across supporting materials Protection & System Coordination Review electrical protection philosophies and coordination approaches Assess protective-device selection and settings Evaluate short-circuit and coordination-study results Identify potential selectivity or protection gaps Review system behaviour under fault and abnormal operating conditions Industrial & Infrastructure Applications Evaluate electrical systems used in industrial facilities, manufacturing, infrastructure, building services, energy, renewable energy, and energy-storage environments Review system requirements within complex operational settings Assess electrical design decisions against practical installation and operational constraints Identify potential design or integration issues Apply engineering judgement across varied project contexts Controls & Automation Review electrical designs involving industrial automation, instrumentation, or control systems where relevant Assess integration between electrical equipment and control architecture Evaluate control panels, motor-control systems, and supporting electrical infrastructure Identify technical inconsistencies or integration risks Review designs for practical implementation Design Tools & Engineering Standards Work with or review designs produced using tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM Power Tools, EPLAN, Revit , or equivalent platforms Evaluate designs against applicable electrical standards and project requirements Apply familiarity with standards such as IEC, IEEE, NEC , or equivalent Review compliance considerations and engineering assumptions Identify deviations that may affect technical validity or safety Technical Evaluation & Feedback Review electrical designs, calculations, assumptions, and technical approaches Assess engineering work for accuracy, completeness, and practical feasibility Compare alternative design approaches and engineering trade-offs Identify substantive technical issues and explain why they matter Provide clear, structured technical feedback Ideal Profile Hands-on professional experience as an Electrical Engineer, Power Systems Engineer, Electrical Design Engineer, Electrical Systems Engineer , or similar professional Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline Strong understanding of electrical system design, power systems, and engineering fundamentals Practical experience designing or evaluating electrical systems in industrial facilities, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, renewable energy, building services, or energy storage Experience with low- and medium-voltage systems, electrical protection, equipment sizing, and power distribution Ability to interpret electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, specifications, and technical documentation Experience with power-system studies such as load flow, short-circuit analysis, or protection coordination is advantageous Experience with AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM Power Tools, EPLAN, Revit , or equivalent engineering tools is advantageous Familiarity with IEC, IEEE, NEC , or comparable electrical codes and standards is valuable Advanced degree or professional engineering certification is advantageous Engagement Details Part-time independent contractor engagement Fully remote Short-term project Flexible scheduling based on project requirements Compensation: $60–$75/hour Work focuses on power systems, electrical design analysis, technical problem-solving, and expert evaluation Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded based on project needs and performance Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any
