Senior Electrical Engineer Opportunity
We're seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with an active PE and 7+ years of relevant experience to lead and execute complex industrial projects. You'll serve as technical lead on multi-discipline teams, develop power and controls designs, mentor engineers/designers, and interface directly with clients from front-end engineering design (FEED) through commissioning.
Project & Technical Leadership
Act as electrical lead on EPCM and design-bid-build projects-owning scope, budget, schedule, quality, and safety deliverables.
Develop and/or review single-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams, I/O lists, cable schedules, load lists, motor and MCC schedules, and panel layouts.
Perform and stamp power systems studies (short-circuit, coordination, arc flash, load flow, motor starting) and specify protective relays and settings.
Specify and design medium- and low-voltage power distribution (switch gear, transformers, MCCs, VFDs), grounding, lighting, and lightning protection for industrial facilities.
Lead controls & instrumentation architecture: PLC/PAC/RTU selection, I/O allocation, control narratives, P&, and network/SCADA topologies; collaborate with PSE's UL 508A panel shop for build-to-print packages and FAT/SAT.
Generate disciplined deliverables: calculations, specifications, data sheets, procurement packages, and construction IFC drawings; support RFI, submittal reviews, and field changes.
Mentor junior engineers/designers; perform thorough QA/QC of calculations and drawings.
Field & Commissioning
Provide site assessments, constructability reviews, installation oversight, and start-up/commissioning support (loop checks, point-to-point, functional testing, energization).
Client Engagement
Serve as a trusted advisor to clients in mining & metals, petrochemical/refining, food processing, and power; translate operational objectives into practical designs. Be client facing and interface with existing and new clients.
Minimum Qualifications
B.S. in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited).
Active U.S. Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical (or ability to obtain Utah comity within 6 months).
7+ years of progressively responsible electrical engineering experience in industrial facilities (design and field).
Proven experience with industrial power distribution (MV/LV), motor control, drives, and protective relaying; proficiency in power systems study tools (e.g., SKM PTW or ETAP).
Hands-on exposure to PLC/SCADA architectures and collaboration with UL 508A panel fabrication.
Working knowledge of applicable codes/standards: NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, ISA, NESC, and utility interconnection requirements.
Strong communication skills with demonstrated client-facing experience and cross-discipline coordination.
Preferred Qualifications
Sector experience in mining & minerals processing (materials handling, crushing/grinding, dust collection), refining/petrochemical, food & allied services, and power generation/distribution projects.
Commissioning/startup leadership; familiarity with arc-flash mitigation, selective coordination, and reliability/maintainability best practices.
Experience with AutoCAD and electrical design highly favorable.
