Electrical Designer – 100% Remote

100% REMOTE | Midstream Natural Gas | EPCM Projects

We’re hiring an Electrical Designer with 5 years of experience to support midstream natural gas facilities (compressor stations, metering stations, piping systems). This is a true design role (not drafting only) with full project ownership from layout through final deliverables—all while working 100% remotely.

What You’ll Do

  • Design electrical layouts for grounding, duct banks, conduit, cable tray, and lighting
  • Develop full drawing packages:
    • One-lines, power plans, grounding plans
    • Cable tray & duct bank layouts
    • Lighting plans, details, sections, and elevations
    • Perform basic electrical calculations to support designs
    • Apply design codes, standards, and client specs
    • Coordinate with engineers, PMs, clients, and vendors
    • Maintain clean, well-organized drawing revisions
    • Support projects through all EPCM phases (design → construction support)

    What You Need

    • 5 years of electrical design experience (designer-level, not just drafting)
    • Strong AutoCAD Electrical (2D) experience
    • Experience with natural gas, utility, or industrial power projects
    • (or clearly transferable experience)
    • Ability to independently produce complete electrical drawing packages
    • Working knowledge of electrical codes, standards, and layouts
    • Comfortable working in a fast-paced EPCM environment

    Nice to Have

    • Medium or high-voltage experience
    • Oil & gas, pipeline, or compressor station project background
    • Power distribution, panels, or “inside the fence” facility experience

    Why This Role

    • 100% remote
    • Long-term, stable project pipeline
    • Exposure to full EPCM project lifecycle
    • Work on complex, real-world energy infrastructure
    • Flexible, supportive engineering culture
