Position Summary
Vertiv is seeking a Project Engineer to support high-impact data center projects with a focus on low-voltage (LV) power distribution systems, including UL 891 switchboards and UL 1558 switchgear. This role operates in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment where accuracy, coordination, and execution are critical to delivering mission-critical infrastructure.
This position requires a self-directed, technically capable engineer who can manage complex engineered-to-order (ETO) projects while driving alignment across engineering, operations, and customer teams.
The Project Engineer is responsible for leading projects from engineering handoff through manufacturing and delivery, ensuring all technical requirements are clearly defined, aligned, and executed across cross-functional teams.
This role manages scope, schedule, technical coordination, and risk, while serving as the primary point of contact for technical communication between internal teams and customers.
End-to-End Project Execution: Own execution from engineering handoff through production and delivery, ensuring scope, quality, and customer requirements are met.
Cross-Functional Coordination: Drive alignment between electrical, mechanical, and controls engineering to ensure designs are complete, accurate, and ready for release.
Technical Point of Contact: Serve as the primary interface for technical discussions with internal teams and customers, ensuring clarity on requirements, deviations, and resolutions.
Design Review Leadership: Facilitate internal and customer design reviews to validate compliance with project requirements, constructability, and applicable standards.
Code and Compliance Oversight: Ensure designs align with NEC, IEEE, UL 891, and UL 1558, as well as customer specifications and internal quality standards.
Design Package Ownership: Review, approve, and maintain the complete drawing package for assigned projects including single line diagrams, circuit diagrams, GA drawings, breaker and cable schedules, BOM, and label drawings; ensure inter-document consistency and standards compliance before release for manufacture.
ERP and Data Management: Navigate ERP systems such as Oracle and IFS to track project status, monitor BOM accuracy, and maintain data integrity.
Project Metrics and Reporting: Track and report on key indicators including design quality, change order volume, cycle time, and issue resolution performance.
Change Order Management: Own the change order process including documentation, impact assessment across cost, schedule, and manufacturing, and communication to all stakeholders.
Risk Identification and Resolution: Proactively identify technical risks and drive timely resolution across engineering and operations teams.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical preferred; Mechanical accepted)
5+ years of experience in project or design engineering for low-voltage switchgear, switchboards
Strong understanding of low-voltage power distribution systems, including UL 891 switchboards and/or UL 1558 switchgear
Familiarity with design tools such as AutoCAD, SEE Electrical, and/or SolidWorks
Experience with project tracking tools such as Smartsheet
Strong communication, time management, and cross-functional collaboration skills
Experience navigating ERP systems such as Oracle and IFS to track BOMs, project data, and execution status
