You will work closely with team members to deliver high-quality studies for a diverse client base, including hospitals, universities, wastewater treatment plants, commercial properties, and data centers.

We are committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

  • Strong background in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Design, and proficiency with electricity fundamentals

  • Ability to conduct detailed power system analysis including short circuit, load flow, and harmonic studies

  • Proficiency in software tools commonly used for electrical power systems studies is preferred

  • Exceptional problem-solving abilities and attention to detail

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with clients and team members

  • Familiarity with industry codes and standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC) is highly advantageous

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • 15 PTO days (depending on starting date).

  • 10 paid holidays, and one floating holiday (depending on starting date).

  • Health Insurance available on the first day.

  • Employee-paid dental and vision insurance available on the first day.

  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

  • Short Term Disability (STD), Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D), and Life Insurance on the first day.

  • Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

  • Employee-funded pre-tax Health Saving Account (HSA)

  • Paid Parental Leave

  • Tuition Reimbursement

  • Opportunities to work on challenging, diverse, and rewarding projects.

  • Collaborative and supportive work environment.

  • Potential for a hybrid and/or micro shifting work environment.
