Electrical Engineer; General

Position Summary

The Electrical Engineer – Power Innovation supports the safe, reliable, and efficient commissioning and startup of power generation and energy systems. This role provides electrical engineering expertise throughout pre-commissioning, commissioning, and turnover, ensuring systems are properly tested, verified, and ready for operation.

• Provide electrical engineering support across commissioning, startup, and system turnover phases
• Lead and support electrical commissioning activities, including testing, verification, and troubleshooting of:
• Switchgear, transformers, generators, and associated systems
• Protection relays and control systems
• Validate power system studies (short circuit, coordination, arc flash) and ensure alignment with as‑built conditions prior to energization
• Execute and oversee electrical testing activities (e.g., insulation resistance, hi‑pot, relay testing, functional verification)
• Support pre‑commissioning activities, including loop checks, calibration, and protection system verification
• Coordinate and participate in FAT, SAT, PSSR, and RFSU processes to ensure systems meet requirements for startup and turnover
• Collaborate with Project Management, Construction, Commissioning, Controls, and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution and system readiness
• Work directly in the field to support testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution during commissioning and startup
• Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and company safety requirements
• Support BESS and power generation system integration, including system‑level testing and performance validation
• Develop and maintain commissioning documentation, including ITRs, test records, redlines, and turnover packages
• Identify, track, and drive resolution of punch list items prior to system handover
• Coordinate with vendors to support installation, testing, and commissioning activities
• Promote continuous improvement and support development of standardized commissioning processes and tools
• Mentor and support development of junior engineers
• Other duties as assigned

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited), or
  Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Technology with a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license
• 4+ years of experience in electrical engineering, power systems, or commissioning in power generation, industrial, or related industries
• Working knowledge of:
• Electrical power systems and equipment (switch gear, transformers, generators)
• Electrical drawings, one‑line diagrams, and control systems
• Commissioning, testing, and startup processes

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or actively pursuing
• Experience with power generation, data centers, or BESS systems
• Experience supporting or leading commissioning and startup activities
• Familiarity with FAT/SAT execution and turnover processes

• Proficiency with power system analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, MATLAB, or similar)
• Experience with protection relay testing and electrical test equipment (e.g., Omicron, Doble, Megger)
• Understanding of:
• Protection coordination and arc flash analysis
• Grid integration and energy storage systems
• DCS/SCADA systems and electrical integration

• Field‑based role supporting active construction, commissioning, and startup environments
• Requires the ability to work in industrial settings and follow all required safety protocols
