Good addition — but one scope judgment first, because it changes who you’re actually hiring.
Stormwater/site-civil and mission-critical power are two different disciplines. A civil engineer’s legitimate role with generators, MV/HV gear, and 480V is the site/civil side: equipment pads and foundations, fuel storage and secondary containment (SPCC), spill berms around transformers, equipment-yard grading and drainage, MV/HV duct bank and conduit routing layouts, NEC/NESC working-clearance and access geometry, and delivery/laydown access roads. That’s real and worth requiring.
What this person should not own is the electrical design — generator paralleling, switchgear sizing, load flow, and the MV-vs-480V topology. That’s electrical-EOR work and belongs in your MEP RFP track. Note for consistency: at 10 MW/site your campus distribution is MV (12.47 kV); 480V is the utilization/generator-output level, not the distribution backbone — so the posting should say “understands” 480V and MV equipment, not “designs the 480V distribution system.”
If you want one offshore hire wearing both hats, the practical version is a dual-discipline design engineer/drafter who does civil site work and electrical CAD (one-lines, equipment layouts, duct banks) under separate civil-PE and electrical-PE direction. Here’s that posting:
Job Posting (revised — copy/paste)
Title: Remote Civil/Electrical Design Engineer — Site Civil, Stormwater & Mission-Critical Equipment Layout (U.S. Projects, U.S. Hours)
About the role: We develop distributed digital-infrastructure (data center) campuses across rural Missouri. We need an experienced design engineer to produce site-civil, stormwater, and mission-critical equipment-siting deliverables for multiple ~5–50 acre campuses, each carrying standby generators, medium-voltage transformers, switchgear, and battery energy storage. Long-term, full-time, remote, working U.S. Central Time hours (8:00 AM–5:00 PM CT), under the direction of U.S.-licensed civil and electrical PEs who review and seal all permit submittals.
Responsibilities — Site Civil & Stormwater:
• Grading, drainage, and site-development plans
• Stormwater design: detention/retention basins, storm sewer, culverts, catch basins, hydraulic grade line checks
• Pre/post-development runoff analysis (NRCS TR-55/TR-20, NOAA Atlas 14)
• SWPPP and erosion/sediment control exhibits; earthwork and pipe sizing
Responsibilities — Mission-Critical Equipment Siting (civil/layout scope):
• Equipment pad and foundation layouts for standby generators, MV transformers, switchgear, and BESS units
• Fuel storage siting and secondary/spill containment (SPCC) design
• Equipment-yard grading, drainage, and oil-water separation around HV/transformer areas
• MV/HV and 480V duct bank, conduit, and cable-trench routing layouts
• NEC working clearances and NESC high-voltage clearance/access geometry; equipment delivery and laydown access roads
• Production of equipment layout drawings and electrical one-line drafting under an electrical PE’s direction
Nice to have: Data center / mission-critical / industrial site experience, Bluebeam Revu, GIS, U.S. county/state submittal sets, REVIT.
