About the Role

The Senior Electrical Engineer (Generation) provides technical assistance and guidance for multi‑site due diligence, investigation, remediation, impact assessment, permitting, design, development, and construction of utility, industrial, and commercial scale projects. The role routinely supports research, concept development, and construction of transmission and distribution substations, power distribution, regulation, renewable energy, and protection and control systems across utilities, transportation, building, and government projects. All deliverables must meet or exceed industry standards for design, safety, and functionality. Key responsibilities include determining methods for data collection and analysis of substation components, developing procurement packages, and ensuring compliance with IEEE, NESC, and NERC standards. The engineer designs single‑line, wiring, grounding, and lightning‑protection diagrams, incorporates future‑ready techniques, and performs detailed electrical calculations such as load studies, short‑circuit analysis, and protective device coordination. Additional duties involve preparing construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety and phasing plans, coordinating with owners and sub‑consultants, and producing visualizations, reports, and presentations for clients and regulatory agencies. • Lead design and analysis of substations, power distribution, protection, and control systems. • Develop and review single‑line, wiring, grounding, and lightning‑protection diagrams per industry standards. • Perform electrical calculations (load, short‑circuit, protective coordination) and create procurement packages. • Prepare construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety and phasing plans, and coordinate with stakeholders. • Generate data visualizations, technical reports, and presentations for clients and regulatory agencies. • Mentor and train junior engineers while ensuring QA/QC compliance. • Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of electrical engineering practices and regulatory requirements.
