Position Overview

Are you a visionary power systems engineer ready to step out of a narrow production role and command high-impact, critical utility infrastructure projects? We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to serve as a principal technical advisor and catalyst for complex energy modernization initiatives. In this role, you will not simply execute designs; you will architect the future of power generation facilities, steer multidisciplinary project teams, and leave a lasting legacy on the nation’s critical energy infrastructure.

Joining our team means immersing yourself in a highly collaborative, autonomous culture built on nearly eight decades of technical excellence. This role balances hands-on, sophisticated engineering with strategic project leadership and the active mentorship of rising engineering talent. With a highly lucrative compensation package—including professional overtime pay and a wealth-building profit-sharing pension—this is the ultimate platform to elevate your expertise across power plants, substations, and industrial utility modernizations while charting a direct path into executive technical leadership.

Core Responsibilities

• Power Systems Engineering & Architecture: Lead and master-plan the electrical engineering design for complex steam electric generation facilities, combustion turbines, combined heat and power (CHP), cogeneration, and backup diesel generation systems.

• Advanced System Analysis: Perform and oversee rigorous electrical engineering calculations and critical system evaluations, including protective device coordination, load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, and arc flash studies.

• Technical Deliverable Ownership: Develop, review, and approve high-fidelity technical deliverables, including one-line diagrams, circuit schedules, panel schedules, and comprehensive electrical equipment specifications.

• Multidisciplinary Project Stewardship: Manage and coordinate multiple high-priority utility and infrastructure projects simultaneously, collaborating seamlessly with internal mechanical, civil, structural, and CAD/3D modeling teams.

• Mentorship & Team Leadership: Provide technical oversight, direct workflows, and deliver impactful mentorship to junior engineers and designers to foster a culture of ongoing technical growth.

• Strategic Client Consultation: Serve as a trusted advisor to utility, industrial, and institutional clients, communicating complex technical solutions, presenting recommendations, and leading high-level project discussions.

• Modernization & Field Execution: Drive plant modernization, life extension, and energy optimization initiatives while supporting construction administration and vital field coordination efforts.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from an accredited institution.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.

• Experience: 10–20+ years of dedicated electrical engineering experience, with a proven track record in power plant electrical design and utility infrastructure.

• Software Proficiency: Expert command of industry-standard power systems analysis and electrical design software (e.g., SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower).

• Technical Expertise: Deep technical mastery of power generation systems, energy management systems, electrical distribution, and critical utility infrastructure.

• Mobility: Willingness to travel approximately 5–10% to support regional project sites and clients.

Preferred Qualifications

• Grid Infrastructure Expertise: Advanced experience in substation engineering and high-voltage transmission & distribution (T&D) system design.

• Modernization Mastery: Demonstrated success managing utility modernization, industrial retrofits, and comprehensive plant life extension projects.

• Lifecycle Support: Robust experience delivering construction administration support and navigating field-level troubleshooting and root-cause investigations.
