Project Engineer

•    Deeply interested in supporting the transition to clean, renewable energy
•    A driven, detail-oriented professional seeking a meaningful career growth opportunity
•    Proud of delivering high‑quality engineering work
•    Flexible and excited to work in a small, collaborative, high‑impact team
•    A continuous learner who thrives on expanding technical knowledge
•    A critical thinker who transforms technical information into clear, compelling communication
•    A direct, thoughtful communicator who values strong, respectful working relationships

• Support and drive the engineering lifecycle of MV/HV power generation and interconnection projects—from early scoping through detailed electrical design, procurement support, construction oversight, and commissioning
• Serve as a key technical contributor for substation, protection, and power generation systems, preparing and checking designs and supporting PE-level review and design approval
• Review, develop, and integrate engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations across electrical, mechanical, and controls/SCADA disciplines for substations, switchyards, protection and relaying schemes, and systems including natural gas‑fired generation and battery energy storage (BESS)
• Participate in and help coordinate electrical design reviews at key milestones (30%, 60%, 90%, IFC), with particular attention to MV and HV equipment, protection, and grounding design, and drive timely resolution of assigned technical comments
• Provide technical support for utility interconnection activities, including interconnection studies, utility protection requirements, relay settings review, commissioning coordination, and compliance with utility and ISO requirements.
• Collaborate with internal teams, external engineers, OEMs, and construction partners to ensure adherence to design requirements, safety standards, performance expectations, and equipment specifications
• Coordinate engineering work across internal stakeholders, consultants, EPC partners, OEMs, and operations personnel.
• Perform technical evaluations of bids and vendor proposals, including switchgear, transformers, protection systems, natural gas reciprocating engines, and instrumentation 
• Develop and refine electrical scopes of work, RFQs, design specifications, and engineering procedures
• Provide hands-on field support for site commissioning, protective relay testing and coordination, and troubleshooting, including factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and field commissioning support
• Share technical knowledge with junior engineers and support a culture of learning around MV and HV design standards, field practices, and engineering best practices
• Evaluate engineering alternatives and design decisions with consideration for safety, reliability, constructability, operability, schedule, and lifecycle cost.
• Evaluate emerging electrical technologies across BESS, natural gas generation, renewables, and distributed energy systems

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field (Master’s degree a plus).
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Electrical Engineering (Power) preferred. EIT/EI certification with a plan to obtain PE licensure will be considered
• 5+ years of engineering experience in power generation, substation design, BESS, transmission & distribution, renewables, or related energy sectors, including direct, hands-on MV and HV design and field experience
• Solid, hands-on experience with LV, MV, and HV design and field execution, including equipment sizing, protection & control, relay coordination, grounding, switchgear, power transformers, and SCADA/RTU integration. Substation protection & controls (P&C) experience is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience supporting EPC projects during detailed design, construction, startup, and commercial operation.
• Proficiency in power generation concepts, electrical protection, communications protocols, and equipment sizing
• Experience performing or reviewing power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, grounding, arc flash, and protective device coordination analyses.
• Strong familiarity with applicable codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NESC, IEEE, IEEE C37 substation/protection standards, NFPA)
• Experience working on multi-disciplinary project teams, with interest in growing into technical leadership and mentoring responsibilities
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complex technical topics for diverse audiences
• Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple projects in a fast‑paced environment
• Willingness to travel 5–10% (primarily within the U.S.)
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S., with a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
