Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Title:

Electrical Engineer

Job Description

This Electrical Engineer role leads the design, analysis, and implementation of medium- and high-voltage (15kV+) electrical utility systems for industrial and utility-scale projects. You will develop robust power distribution and substation solutions, ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations, and provide technical leadership across the full project lifecycle. The position combines hands-on engineering, project leadership, and mentoring responsibilities within a growing organization that supports high-demand applications such as data centers and critical power infrastructure.

Responsibilities

* Lead the design and development of medium- and high-voltage (15kV+) electrical power distribution systems, including substations, feeders, and utility interconnections.

* Develop and review single-line diagrams, protection schemes, grounding systems, and equipment layouts for utility and industrial applications.

* Perform and oversee power system studies, including short circuit analysis, arc flash studies, and load flow and coordination studies.

* Prepare detailed engineering calculations, technical specifications, and construction documentation to support project execution.

* Support equipment selection for transformers, switch gear, motor control centers (MCCs), and protection devices to ensure reliable and cost-effective solutions.

* Coordinate closely with cross-functional teams to align project scope, schedule, and budget, and to ensure seamless integration with mechanical and manufacturing functions.

* Interface directly with clients to define technical requirements, present design concepts, and deliver clear, actionable technical solutions.

* Provide oversight and technical direction to designers and junior engineers, including mentoring, coaching, and review of their work.

* Review electrical designs for technical accuracy, constructability, safety, and compliance with applicable industry standards and codes.

* Support construction activities, including responding to field questions, troubleshooting issues, and participating in commissioning efforts as needed.

* Ensure technical accuracy and overall quality of all electrical design deliverables across multiple projects.

* Develop and refine design standards, templates, and best practices, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within the engineering team.

* Oversee CAD production, including development and review of one-line diagrams, layouts, and detailed installation drawings.

* Participate in project planning activities, including staffing, scheduling, risk identification, and execution strategy.

* Conduct formal design reviews and enforce QA/QC standards to maintain consistency and quality across all projects.

* Identify opportunities to optimize system performance, reliability, and cost, and propose innovative solutions to enhance overall project outcomes.

* Collaborate with the broader team to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable designs that align with customer requirements and product strategies.

* Provide regular updates on project status, key milestones, and timelines for completion to internal stakeholders and clients.

Essential Skills

* Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.

* 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering with a focus on utility power systems and distribution design at 15kV and above.

* Strong experience in medium- and high-voltage system design, including substations and power distribution networks.

* Proficiency in AutoCAD for developing and reviewing electrical drawings and layouts.

* Working knowledge of electromechanical and electrical design principles applied to power systems.

* Deep understanding of NEC, NESC, IEEE, and ANSI standards and their application to utility and industrial power systems.

* Demonstrated ability to lead complex engineering projects from concept through commissioning.

* Proven experience mentoring and providing technical guidance to junior engineers and designers.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

* Experience with power system analysis software such as ETAP or equivalent.

* Experience with CREO or similar electrical and mechanical design tools.

* Utility-scale substation and power distribution projects.

* Experience working in industrial facilities or heavy manufacturing environments.

* Exposure to renewable energy integration projects, including solar, energy storage, grid-supporting make-ready, distribution upgrades, or utility coordination projects.

* Familiarity with electrical testing and validation of power systems and equipment.

* Experience supporting products such as load banks or similar power testing equipment is beneficial.

* Interest in contributing to the development of new products and technologies in the critical power and data center markets.

* Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in documentation, design reviews, and QA/QC processes.

* Willingness to relocate, with relocation assistance available.
