Full Stack Software Engineer Jobs in Toledo, OH (NOW HIRING)

Nexus Engineering Group is employee-owned, full-service, and built by the people who do the work. As a SCADA Engineer, you’ll help design, analyze, and deliver electrical substation projects for utility and power delivery clients — with exposure across the full breadth of substation engineering.

As a SCADA Engineer, you will develop and support supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, RTU integration, substation automation, and communication networks that help clients monitor and operate critical electrical infrastructure safely and reliably. You will work alongside protection & controls engineers, designers, project managers, and clients to deliver integrated automation solutions across transmission, distribution, and industrial facilities.

You’ll own a piece of what you build. Nexus is employee-owned through our ESOP, so the value you help create comes back to you — not just outside shareholders. We invest in early-career engineers and give them real work from the start.

• Employee ownership (ESOP) — build equity in the firm as it grows
• Broad exposure across substation disciplines — physical design, P&C, studies, and field work — to help you find your path
• Mentorship from senior engineers who review your work and help you grow
• Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base
• Career paths that grow with you — toward technical leadership, project management, or discipline leadership
• Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow
