Project Engineer, Electrical Engineering

The Senior Project Engineer, under general guidance, directs or performs engineering assignments of major size or complexity and makes independent decisions on engineering problems and methods. The role combines project engineering leadership with advanced technical expertise in generating station systems.

You will be responsible for managing project budgets, schedules, lifecycle activities, and technical execution while serving as a subject matter expert in critical generation systems and reliability requirements.

The role requires a strong understanding of generation system behavior, equipment performance, and compliance requirements within utility‑scale power plants.

• Lead end-to-end project execution from scope development through commissioning
• Manage budgets, schedules, funding requests, and appropriations
• Develop technical specifications, scoping documents, and purchase specifications
• Serve as primary interface with vendors and contractors
• Evaluate bids, review submittals, and oversee contract deliverables
• Maintain project documentation including status reporting and financial tracking

• Evaluate and design solutions for new and refurbishment projects
• Perform technical and economic analyses and feasibility studies
• Provide engineering justification for equipment replacement and upgrades
• Conduct cross-discipline drawing and work package reviews (electrical, mechanical, I&C)
• Recommend design improvements and approve field design changes when required
• Support resolution of complex engineering issues at generating station sites

• Proactively identify and escalate engineering risks, scope gaps, and ambiguities early
• Participate in peer reviews of engineering and removal packages
• Reinforce design basis understanding and quality assurance practices
  
  Drive continuous improvement in engineering workflows, documentation standards, and lessons learned

• Collaborate with Steam & Gas Engineering working groups, Operations, and maintenance teams
• Coordinate across electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, and civil disciplines
• Align technical solutions with operational requirements and system constraints
• Communicate technical findings and project updates to management and stakeholders
• Support field engineering activities and plant site visits
