Remote Gas Turbine Operator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

A DAY IN THE LIFE

As a Lead Electrical Engineer - Gas Power Generation, you'll lead the electrical engineering execution of utility-scale gas power generation projects from proposal development through construction and commissioning. You'll provide technical leadership across electrical engineering activities while establishing engineering standards, mentoring engineers, and ensuring designs are safe, reliable, constructible, and compliant with industry codes and client requirements.

Your day may involve collaborating with Owners, Engineers of Record (EOR), Project Engineering, Estimating, Integrated Supply Chain, Construction, and equipment manufacturers to develop electrical system designs, review engineering packages, coordinate utility interconnections, and resolve complex technical challenges across multiple concurrent projects. Projects may include gas turbine facilities, reciprocating engine power plants, simple-cycle, and combined-cycle facilities, substations, switchyards, transmission infrastructure, balance of plant systems, and utility interconnections.

STEP INTO THE ROLE

• Lead the electrical engineering execution of utility-scale gas power generation projects from estimating through construction support and project closeout.
• Develop preliminary electrical designs for proposals, incorporating power quality, system reliability, constructability, cost efficiency, and Blattner best practices.
• Lead Basis of Design (BOD) development, electrical engineering reviews, RFIs, and technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Review electrical one-line diagrams, protection and control schemes, grounding systems, cable routing, equipment layouts, substation designs, and third-party engineering packages to ensure quality and compliance.
• Coordinate electrical engineering activities with Project Engineering, Estimating, Integrated Supply Chain, Construction, Owners, utilities, and Engineers of Record (EOR).
• Support electrical equipment selection, procurement, vendor evaluations, and technical submittal reviews.
• Lead constructability reviews, value engineering initiatives, and technical risk assessments to improve project execution and proposal competitiveness.
• Mentor and develop Engineer I, Engineer II, Senior Engineers, and CAD Designers by providing technical guidance and promoting engineering best practices.
• Drive electrical engineering standards, lessons learned, and continuous improvement initiatives across Blattner's growing gas power generation portfolio.
• Serve as the technical electrical engineering resource for complex design challenges throughout all phases of project execution.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited college.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required or ability to obtain within one year of hire.
• Seven or more years of progressive electrical engineering experience supporting utility-scale power generation, industrial, EPC, utility, or heavy infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams and coordinating complex electrical engineering projects.

WHAT SETS YOU APART

• Experience supporting gas turbine facilities, reciprocating engine generation plants, simple- cycle and combined-cycle power plants, substations, switchyards, transmission infrastructure, or balance of plant electrical systems.
• Strong knowledge of medium- and high-voltage power systems, utility interconnections, protection and control systems, grounding, power quality, and electrical equipment design.
• Experience collaborating with Owners, Engineers of Record (EOR), utilities, EPC partners, and construction teams throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Proven ability to lead electrical engineering teams while mentoring and developing technical talent.
• Passion for driving engineering innovation, establishing electrical design standards, and continuously improving engineering quality.
