This role provides a well-rounded engineering experience spanning the full project lifecycle—from initial data collection and design through installation, commissioning, and functional testing.

• Perform field data collection to support protection and control system design.
• Develop DC schematic drawings, AC elementary drawings, physical layouts, bills of materials, and relay settings.
• Develop and review wiring diagrams, cable and conduit schedules, and front panel layouts.
• Develop and review as-built drawings.
• Participate in design review meetings.

• Develop control system architecture, including points lists, PLC ladder logic, and HMI screen configurations.
• Develop and review interconnect and wiring diagrams.
• Develop and review as-built drawings.

• Assist with development of lockout/tagout (LOTO) requirements.
• Support project schedule development and coordination.
• Provide field support to electricians during installation activities.
• Perform functional testing, startup checks, and commissioning activities.
• Provide daily field updates and maintain project redlines.

• Strong working knowledge of power generation and transmission equipment, including metering and controls, instrument transformer circuits, relays and relay logic, generator excitation systems, transformers, and protective principles.
• Experience installing and commissioning equipment in power plants and substations.
• Ability to develop and execute commissioning work plans for electrical projects.
• Self-motivated engineer with a strong work ethic who is equally comfortable working in the field or performing detailed design work.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work day-to-day with electricians and project teams.
• Strong computer proficiency across Microsoft platforms, AutoCAD, and MathCAD.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE).
• 3+ years of recent and relevant experience supporting electrical design, installation, and commissioning for power plants or substations.

Hybrid role. Echo Power’s main office is located in Tennessee; however, this position includes both remote work and field-based support. Candidate should live within one hour of a commercial airport.

• $99,000 – $146,000 annual salary (based on education and experience)
• Annual bonus potential
• Work-from-home (no relocation required)
• Flexible working hours
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid disability insurance, life insurance, and Telehealth
