This role is intended for a strong mid-level engineer who can execute assigned engineering deliverables with limited supervision while collaborating directly with clients, utilities, vendors, and multidisciplinary project teams.

• Perform electrical engineering and design activities for industrial, utility, and oil & gas facilities, including medium‑voltage and low‑voltage power distribution systems.
• Prepare computer‑based models and perform power system studies using ETAP, SKM, PSS/E, PSCAD, or similar software, including short circuit, load flow, protective device coordination, arc flash, motor starting, harmonic analysis, and related studies.
• Develop and maintain power system models, validate study results using engineering judgment, and prepare clear technical reports and recommendations for clients and project teams.
• Support medium and high voltage T&D projects, including overhead and underground distribution systems, utility coordination, distribution upgrades, transmission studies, and construction package development.
• Support substation, relay, and protection‑related engineering activities, including relay coordination, protective relay settings, and control and relaying schematics under the direction of senior engineers.
• Develop electrical deliverables such as one‑line diagrams, three‑line diagrams, control schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, calculations, studies, RFIs, and construction packages.
• Coordinate directly with clients, utilities, vendors, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to support project execution and resolve technical issues.
• Participate in client meetings, communicate technical findings, document action items, and support engineering decisions through clear written and verbal communication.
• Support projects from preliminary design through detailed design, including 30%, 60%, 90%, and issued‑for‑construction deliverables with oversight from senior engineering staff.
• Provide field assistance, troubleshooting, startup support, and commissioning support as required.
• Check the work of designers, drafters, and field personnel for general quality and accuracy as required.
• Understand and apply applicable codes, standards, and client requirements such as NEC, NESC, IEEE, NFPA70E, and utility standards.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Education: Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology from an accredited institution; electric power option preferred.
• Experience: 2–6years of relevant electrical engineering, utility engineering, industrial power systems, consulting engineering, or oil & gas experience.
• Licensure: FE/EIT preferred; progress toward PE licensure strongly preferred.
• Experience performing power system studies using ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, PowerFactory, Milsoft, or similar software.
• Preferred exposure to PSS/E, similar transmission planning and power system analysis tools.
• Knowledge and familiarity with medium‑voltage and low‑voltage power systems; experience with distribution, transmission, substation, or industrial power systems preferred.
• Utility distribution experience, including exposure to overhead and underground distribution systems, utility standards, and utility coordination.
• Exposure to protective relaying, relay coordination, SEL relays, substation systems, or utility interconnections preferred.
• Previous interactions with clients, customers, contractors, utilities, vendors, and other project stakeholders.
• Ability to assist with client contacts and communication pertaining to specific assignments, meetings, and project deliverables.
• Ability to execute assigned engineering tasks with limited supervision while maintaining quality, schedule, and budget expectations.
• Ability to travel up to25% across states for field work, client meetings, commissioning, and project support as needed.
• Possesses effective written and oral communication skills.
• Good interpersonal and people skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a full‑time remote work environment.
