Scope of Role:

The Director of Electrical Engineering leads the Electrical Design Engineering team and is accountable for all electrical design activities supporting the Energy-from-Waste process across more than 30 facilities across North America. This role provides design leadership for electrical infrastructure across high-voltage (26 kV to 230 kV), medium-voltage (5 kV to 13.8 kV), and low-voltage systems, including high-voltage breakers, step-up transformers, turbine generators, balance-of-plant equipment, medium-voltage switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), fans and motors, protective relaying, and short-circuit and arc-flash studies.

The Electrical Design Engineering team also supports a broad range of plant systems and disciplines, including steam generation boilers and auxiliaries, feedwater pumps, deaerator systems, turbine generators, condensers, air pollution control equipment, ash handling and conveying equipment, and metals recovery systems. This position leads a team of electrical subject matter experts (SMEs) supporting key growth initiatives, including routine capital projects, major plant expansions, and feasibility studies for new facilities. Annual capital and maintenance reinvestment at Reworld exceeds $300 million and supports long-term assets planning.
