Power System Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Power Systems Electrical Engineer to design, implement, and optimize electrical infrastructure supporting critical energy assets — including pipelines, compressor stations, and storage facilities. You'll lead complex projects from concept through commissioning, apply advanced simulation and analysis tools, and drive safety-critical initiatives like arc flash mitigation. This role blends deep technical expertise in power distribution and high-voltage systems with project leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and stakeholder communication.

Note: This is a power systems / electrical design role — not a controls, instrumentation, or automation position. Candidates from a Controls Engineering or PLC/SCADA background will not be considered.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and optimize electrical systems and power distribution networks supporting critical infrastructure (pipelines, compressor stations, storage facilities)
• Lead power system studies and simulations using tools such as ETAP, MATLAB, PSCAD, or Simulink
• Implement safety measures including arc flash mitigation and fault detection systems
• Develop electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, and system layouts for new construction and facility upgrades
• Evaluate and specify high-voltage equipment, transformers, generators, and switchgear
• Support grid integration and renewable energy interconnection efforts
• Manage complex engineering projects from concept to completion, ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, and budget
• Support procurement processes for electrical equipment and materials, leveraging established vendor/supplier relationships
• Participate in commissioning, testing, and startup of electrical equipment
• Ensure compliance with NEC, NEMA, API, IEEE, and other applicable codes and regulatory standards
• Lead small project teams and deliver technical presentations to internal and external stakeholders
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver engineering solutions meeting business and customer needs

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution
• OR Bachelor's in Engineering Technology (ABET-accredited, relevant field) active PE license 4 years of engineering experience in natural gas, data centers, or a related industry
• 10 years of relevant electrical engineering experience
• Working knowledge of electrical design codes (NEC, NEMA, API, IEEE, etc.)
• Experience with power system design, analysis, and simulation tools (ETAP, MATLAB, PSCAD, Simulink, or similar)
• Knowledge of high-voltage equipment, transformers, generators, and switchgear
• Experience reviewing arc flash studies and implementing corrective/mitigation measures
• Strong organizational and interpersonal skills, with safety as a top priority
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited)
• Professional Engineer (PE) license
• Project management experience
• Experience in Pre-FEED, FEED, or EPC execution of small-to-medium facility projects
• Experience supporting commissioning, testing, and startup of electrical equipment
• Understanding of grid integration and renewable energy systems
• Established industry vendor/supplier network for electrical equipment procurement
