Senior Electrical Engineer

Pacifico Energy develops, finances, builds, and operates energy infrastructure that powers businesses and communities. In the U.S., we are tackling one of the biggest challenges facing AI and large-scale data centers: access to reliable power. Our private grids bring dedicated generation and energy storage directly to customers, helping projects move forward without waiting for traditional utility connections. We draw on Pacifico Energy Group’s experience across the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, spanning solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas.

Joining Pacifico means helping turn ambitious energy projects into operating infrastructure, with work that connects directly to the people and businesses building the future of AI.

The Power Plant Senior Electrical Engineer will own the electrical scope across the full project lifecycle from conceptual design and FEED through detailed engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning for power generation systems that integrate gas turbines, PV solar, BESS, and other technologies to meet the unique energy demands of large industrial facilities and data centers. In the early phases, the role focuses on defining high-level electrical layouts, power distribution, grid integration, and equipment specifications to optimize performance and reliability.

During the EPC stage, the engineer will drive detailed electrical design, review vendor and EPC contractor deliverables, provide construction and site engineering support, and lead electrical commissioning through to energization and handover. The engineer will collaborate with mechanical, civil, and control teams to ensure a fully integrated power solution.

• Develop preliminary single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical layouts, and system architectures for gas turbines, solar PV, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
• Define power distribution strategies, including HV and MV network configurations.
• Conduct load flow analysis, fault studies, and short-circuit calculations to determine optimal electrical system parameters.
• Assess transformer, switch gear, and power conversion requirements to ensure system efficiency.

• Evaluate grid interconnection requirements and compliance with international electrical standards.
• Assess reactive power compensation, harmonics, and stability impacts for seamless system integration.
• Define protective relays and power system protection strategies for reliability and safety.

• Identify key electrical components, including circuit breakers, relays, inverters, transformers, cables, and grounding systems.
• Develop preliminary equipment specifications and define procurement strategies for major electrical assets.
• Evaluate alternative technologies to enhance system efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.

• Work closely with civil, mechanical, and control engineers to integrate electrical systems with plant infrastructure.
• Provide technical input for CAPEX/OPEX estimation and feasibility studies.
• Prepare FEED-level reports, electrical schematics, and technical documentation to support the transition into the EPC phase.

• Coordinate and manage the development of IFC deliverables by EPC, including detailed single-line diagrams, protection and control schematics, cable schedules and routing, lighting, grounding, and lightning protection designs.
• Perform detailed protection coordination, arc flash, and grounding studies, and finalize relay settings for HV/MV systems.
• Review and…
