How You'll Make an Impact:

As a Sr. Electrical Engineer within Automation & Controls Management, you will serve as the senior electrical technical authority responsible for the design, analysis, and integration of electrical power systems that support reliable, safe, and efficient power generation operations. You will own electrical design from concept through commissioning and handover, lead design compliance on the most complex and highest-value projects, and provide expert technical mentorship across the engineering organization while partnering with the automation and controls team, cross-functional groups, and site leadership.

Role Overview:

This role demands advanced electrical power system design expertise, strong leadership, and the ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy on complex power systems. It is an electrical engineering role embedded within the Automation & Controls organization; controls and automation exposure is valuable context, but the core of the position is electrical design and power systems.

In this role, you will:

• Provide expert-level knowledge in electrical engineering, power systems analysis, protection, and commissioning.

• Lead the development and review of detailed electrical design packages, including one-line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, cable and conduit schedules, grounding design, and interconnection drawings.

• Perform and review power system studies including load flow, short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash analysis.

• Specify and source electrical equipment, protection devices, switchgear, and materials with safety and code compliance as top priorities.

• Lead design compliance for complex or higher-value projects within the organization.

• Oversee installation, commissioning, and performance testing of electrical power and protection systems.

• Drive the successful integration of new electrical generation systems with existing technologies and site infrastructure.

• Ensure compliance with all applicable codes and standards, including NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and internal procedures.

• Own protective relay settings, protection philosophy, and coordination; review relay, SEL RTAC, and PLC configuration developed by the controls team to confirm it matches the electrical design intent.

• Lead complex electrical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis in both office and field environments, supporting the controls team where issues cross into automation systems.

• Conduct and lead risk assessments while implementing and enforcing strong safety protocols.

• Identify optimization opportunities and drive enhancements that improve system reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.

• Maintain comprehensive documentation including specifications, calculations, manuals, test records, and maintenance materials.

• Mentor and coach engineers and technicians, serving as a senior technical resource within the organization.

• Communicate complex technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
