Job Overview: A Project Engineer works with other MEPF engineers to design building electrical, fire alarm, and low voltage systems. Responsibilities and Duties System Design: Calculations Performs system design calculations including: Electric service load calculations. Voltage drop calculations. Short circuit calculations. Lighting calculations. COMcheck energy calculations.

System Design: Drafting Utilizes Revit 3D drafting software to layout receptacles, panelboards, equipment, lighting control devices, and fire alarm devices. Produces drawing sets, including but not limited to, drawing notes, details, and single line riser diagrams. Selects equipment, such as distribution boards and panelboards, light fixtures, lighting control systems, and fire alarm systems. Gains understanding of different electrical system types (medium voltage applications, service entrance, grounding and lightning protection systems, etc.). Learns outline and book specifications.

Life Safety Researches code on required life safety and standby loads, and fire alarm system requirements. Researches fire alarm system types and components required for each occupancy group. Performs emergency power generator load calculations. Researches fuel type, acoustical enclosure, and space requirement for generators. Sizes and selects automatic and manual transfer switches and associated components. Creates emergency power single line diagram and tie-ins.
