The Electrical Lead II supervises and provides technical leadership to a team of electrical engineers responsible for the design, development, review, and testing of electrical components, equipment, and systems. The position applies electrical engineering principles and techniques to support safe, efficient, and reliable project execution.
The primary focus of this position is utility-style electrical distribution, transmission, substations, primary power, and high-voltage systems. The role supports the development of electrical construction packages in the office and provides field support for project execution in Midland, TX.
Candidates may come from the power/utilities industry or Oil & Gas, provided they have direct distribution and transmission experience. Plant power or secondary electrical power experience alone will likely not be sufficient.
Key Responsibilities
The strongest candidate will have hands-on experience supporting utility-style electrical distribution, transmission, substations, primary power, and high-voltage work, along with experience leading electrical engineers and reviewing contractor engineering deliverables.
The candidate should be equally comfortable developing construction packages at the Spring Campus, coordinating with vendors and contractors, evaluating engineering work against applicable standards, and traveling to Midland to support field execution.
Key Screening Requirement
Candidates must have direct electrical distribution, transmission, and high-voltage experience. Plant power or secondary electrical power experience alone is not sufficient.
