With a growing portfolio of more than 40.8 GW, Savion’s diverse team provides comprehensive services at each phase of renewable energy project development, from conception through construction. As part of this full-service model, Savion manages all aspects of development for customers, partners, and project host communities.

Savion is committed to helping decarbonize the energy grid by replacing electric power generation with renewable sources and delivering cost-competitive electricity to the marketplace.

Our workplace culture attracts competitive, smart, and fun people. We are committed to the health, fitness, and work-life balance of our employees. Our employees are highly motivated, technically proficient, team-oriented, and committed to renewable energy. We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and offer highly competitive pay as well as exceptional above-market employee benefits. Balancing work and play are met with generous PTO allowances and 14.5 paid holidays per year.

This role is intended for a senior electrical engineering professional who can lead complex project work streams, coordinate consultants and vendors, mentor junior engineers, and translate project, utility, owner, and commercial requirements into constructible design packages through the end of pre-construction.

As a Senior Project Electrical Engineer, you will lead electrical engineering and design coordination for utility-scale solar, BESS, and datacenter projects. This role focuses on HV system architecture, MV collection systems, DC solar design, BESS and powered land for datacenter electrical distribution, owner-side technical coordination, and design readiness for procurement and pre-construction handoff.

You will guide internal teams and external consultants, review technical deliverables, support basis-of-design development, resolve design interfaces, and provide practical engineering judgment during greenfield project development. Some in-house design and minimal CAD work will be required; however, most detailed design production will be outsourced to external engineering resources.

• Lead electrical design efforts and power system architecture for renewable energy and datacenter projects, including coordination of internal stakeholders, external consultants, equipment suppliers, utilities, owners, and EPC/delivery interfaces.
• Own discipline scope definition, deliverable planning, engineering assumptions, action/decision tracking, design review cycles, and technical risk communication through development and pre-construction.
• Lead MV collection system design strategy, including feeder architecture, cable/conduit sizing assumptions, voltage drop, ampacity, grounding interfaces, constructability considerations, and coordination with civil/site layouts.
• Lead DC design for solar projects, including array-to-inverter design concepts, DC cable routing assumptions, combiner/stringing strategy where applicable, inverter/PPC selection inputs, and design tradeoff documentation.
• Support BESS electrical architecture, including collection/distribution interfaces, inverter/PCS block design inputs, auxiliary power concepts, grounding/protection interfaces, SCADA/PPC coordination, and vendor design reviews.
• Support powered land for datacenter electrical concepts, including high-level site power distribution, utility interconnection interface, medium-voltage distribution strategy, backup/firming generation interfaces where applicable, and owner/utility requirements translation.
• Maintain high-level…
