We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Electrical professional with fundamental knowledge of HVAC systems to join our Facilities team for a temporary project. This role is crucial for assessing the electrical infrastructure needs across our district as we modernize classroom heating systems. The primary focus will be on performing site walks and reviewing documentation to determine the necessary electrical service upgrades required to support the transition from furnace heating-only units to cooling and heating (HVAC) units.

Key Responsibilities

Perform Site Assessments: Conduct thorough site visits and walk-throughs across a total of 29 school sites (4 High Schools, 8 Middle Schools, and 17 Elementary Schools) to evaluate existing electrical infrastructure for HVAC upgrades.

Identify Electrical Load Growth: Analyze and calculate the anticipated electrical load growth resulting from the installation of new cooling and heating units in classrooms currently equipped with heating-only furnaces.

Determine Service Upgrade Needs: Based on load calculations and current service capacity, accurately identify which school sites require an electrical service upgrade from the utility provider.

Specify Upgrade Capacity: Determine and document the required upgraded electrical service capacity for each affected site.

Documentation Review: Review existing site plans, electrical schematics, utility service records, and project documentation pertinent to electrical and HVAC systems.

Report Generation: Compile clear, comprehensive reports detailing findings, load calculations, recommended service upgrades, and required capacities for each site to accommodate the HVAC upgrades..

Team Collaboration: Collaborate with Facilities, Maintenance, and Capital Projects staff to ensure accurate data collection and project alignment.

Qualifications

Proven Expertise: Demonstrated professional experience in electrical systems (service capacity, load calculations, and infrastructure) and commercial HVAC systems (installation, operation, and maintenance).

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of NEC (National Electrical Code) standards and utility requirements for commercial electrical service upgrades.

Analytical Skills: Ability to accurately perform electrical load calculations for large institutional buildings.

Physical Ability: Must be able to conduct site walks, navigate school campuses, and access facility areas (e.g., roofs, electrical rooms, mechanical areas).

Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills to document findings and collaborate with team members.
