ECI is opening an office in Nebraska in one of the cities listed above and has an opening for a substation project manager. This is a great opportunity to help start and grow a new office location.

Responsibilities include the conceptual, preliminary and final detailed design of new, upgraded and expanded substations, including material procurement, construction and commissioning/startup support through energization. Additional responsibilities include the scoping, budgeting, scheduling, planning, executing, monitoring and reporting of substation projects and proposals. A Project Manager oversees a project team (or teams) of project and design engineers, designers, drafters and support staff.

Occasional travel/driving is required; therefore, the successful applicant will be subject to ECI's auto insurance carrier requirements. Applicants must not require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B visa status) now or in the future.

Salary commensurate with experience and education. Benefits include:

  • Medical, dental and vision insurance
