A top-ranked power engineering consultancy is hiring an electrical project engineer to support substation design and EPC delivery up to 765kV, with a clear track toward senior and lead roles.

- Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, employer-matched retirement, and tuition reimbursement

- An annual performance bonus on top of base pay

- Paid time off, and a flexible hybrid schedule after your first 90 days

- The backing of a Top-10 nationally ranked ENR power engineering firm

What you'll do

- Support substation design and EPC delivery on projects up to 765kV

- Develop protection and control and physical design deliverables for high-voltage substations

- Prepare equipment specifications and bills of materials for procurement

- Coordinate with clients, vendors, and other disciplines on assigned projects

- Manage project budgets and schedules, and mentor junior engineers

What you'll need

- Bachelor's degree in engineering plus 5 years of substation design experience

- High-voltage substation design experience, physical and/or protection & controls

- Comfortable managing budget, schedule, and quality on assigned work

- PE license preferred

Nice to have: Bluebeam Revu and MS Office proficiency; Prior client-facing or consulting project experience.

Visa sponsorship available for qualified candidates already based in the US.
