Redtree Engineering specializes in engineering, project management, and construction support services across mission‑critical facilities, power systems, industrial projects, and complex infrastructure. Redtree offers 100% remote work for this role. As a growing engineering firm, we've built our team around flexibility from day one, giving engineers the ability to do serious, high‑impact power generation design work from anywhere in the U.S., without relocating or commuting to an office.

Redtree is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with deep power plant design experience to lead schematic design development, detailed engineering, and field engineering activities for power generation projects, with a focus on coal, natural gas, and gas‑fired and combined cycle power plants, as well as emerging data center power infrastructure and behind‑the‑meter or fully islanded energy projects. In addition to technical design work, this role plays a key part in growing the team, mentoring and training less experienced engineers, leading project teams (including supporting staff overseas as part of Redtree's global CSI network), and helping set technical direction and quality standards across electrical scope.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing engineering team that partners with industry‑leading clients to deliver innovative, resilient, and scalable solutions from concept through construction and commissioning, all while working 100% remote
