About the company
Join a growing clean-energy engineering team focused on delivering reliable, affordable, and lower-emission power solutions for large-scale energy projects.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical project development: define project requirements and technical direction, including site layouts, single-line diagrams, equipment selection, sequences of operation, plant controls, communications, network security, protection and metering, grounding, fuel systems, and safety systems
- Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering: integrate electrical, mechanical, civil, controls, fuel, and utility scopes, conducting design reviews, interface assessments, and value-engineering activities
- Support grid interconnection: provide technical data, equipment models, and electrical documentation for interconnection applications; review feasibility, system impact, and facility studies
- Design large-load power systems: define how generation plants serve and protect large loads, including data centers, through islanding, load-following, transfer schemes
- Specify power and fuel equipment: guide selection of medium-voltage and interconnection equipment, including switchgear, breakers, transformers, protective relays, revenue meters, reclosers, plant power controllers, SCADA hardware, gas regulators, and valves
- Develop engineering documentation: prepare equipment specifications, sequences of operation, engineering standards, EPC scopes of work, and testing procedures
- Manage design coordination and quality: translate project requirements into construction-ready plan sets, apply QA/QC standards, respond to RFIs, approve submittals
- Resolve technical issues: approve design variances and assess engineering modifications
- Review power system studies: evaluate load flow, short circuits, protection coordination, arc flash, power quality, and dynamic performance
- Ensure grid and regulatory compliance: verify plant controls and protection settings against utility and regional requirements, IEEE 1547/2800 standards, and NERC/FERC obligations
- Monitor standards and grid codes: track changes to utility interconnection handbooks, regional grid codes, and IEEE/NERC standards
- Support permitting activities: coordinate with development, environmental, and AHJs
- Lead compliance testing and commissioning: oversee grid-code compliance demonstrations, model validation, protective relay checkout, witness testing, metering verification, and utility acceptance testing
- Improve project delivery processes: develop and implement Lean initiatives
- Document and share knowledge: record project challenges and develop training materials
- Travel to project sites as required
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, preferably with a power systems focus (Mechanical, Systems, Controls, or Mechatronics degrees may be considered)
- Strong background in grid-scale generation or energy storage
- Technical depth in medium-voltage electrical systems, power plant controls, engineering design, and grid compliance
- Leadership and communication skills to coordinate complex projects across multiple disciplines
