Description

OUR MISSION

The Sanitation Districts protects public health and the environment through innovative and cost-effective wastewater and solid waste management, and in doing so convert waste into resources such as recycled water, energy and recycled materials.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
To perform professional electrical and instrumentation engineering work and coordinate progressively more complex projects in a variety of engineering disciplines including civil, architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering disciplines.

• Design and prepare electrical and instrumentation plans, specifications and cost analyses for wastewater treatment facilities, collection systems, and solid waste facilities
• Plan, schedule, conduct or coordinate detailed phases of electrical and instrumentation work for engineering projects
• Develop computer models of power systems and perform electrical system, protective device coordination and arc flash studies
• Perform electrical power systems and instrumentation engineering for wastewater treatment plants, pumping plants, landfills and power generation facilities
• Develop electrical and instrumentation drawings and specifications
• Design low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems
• Design microprocessor and hardwired-based control systems 
• Review consultant, contractor and vendor submittals, RFI responses, and contractor change-order claims 
• Coordinate work with other Districts' sections, outside agencies, and electrical utility companies

• ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE II, III: the work performed in these classes are normally a prerequisite to qualify for the Electrical Professional Engineer (PE) licensure examinations.
• ELECTRICAL ENGINEER: this level differs from the Engineering Associate level classes by the PE license requirement, the greater engineering complexity involved in the assignments received and demonstrated proficiency.

Requirements

• A valid California Class C driver license

• Option 1: A bachelor's degree and master’s degree both in a pertinent engineering discipline from an accredited and recognized college or university
• Option 2: A bachelor's degree from an accredited and recognized college or university in a related science with an Engineer-In-Training Certificate and a master's degree from an accredited and recognized college or university in a pertinent engineering discipline
• Option 3: Two (2) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university

• Option 1: Two (2) years of experience as an Engineering Associate II
• Option 2: Four (4) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university

• Possession of a Certificate of Registration as a Professional Engineer with the California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists
• AND:
• Option 1: Six (6) years of professional engineering experience subsequent to earning a bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university
• Option 2: A master's degree in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university -AND- Three (3) years of professional engineering experience
• Option 3: A PhD in engineering from an accredited and recognized college or university -AND- two (2) years of professional engineering experience

In addition to the minimum qualifications stated above, the ideal candidate would also possess:

• A bachelor's and/or Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Power Systems
• Two (2) or more years' experience performing power systems engineering and design of low- and medium- voltage power distribution systems (control/instrumentation experience is desirable) for wastewater, power generation, petrochemical, or heavy industrial facilities projects
