About the role
- The Senior Electrical Engineer leads the planning, design, and delivery of power systems for energy and infrastructure projects serving Tribal communities and federal partners.
- The role develops basis of design documents, single line diagrams, protection and control schemes, and construction packages.
- Performs studies such as load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash, grounding, and reliability.
- The engineer integrates distributed energy resources, substations, and facility power distribution with utility interconnection requirements.
- Coordinates closely with civil, mechanical, and controls teams to ensure safe, constructible, and cost-effective solutions.
- Prepares clear technical reports and executive briefs, represents owners in technical discussions with utilities and OEMs, and supports interconnection, permitting, and commissioning.
- Mentors junior staff, manages day-to-day technical work under assigned orders, and upholds rigorous QA and electrical safety practices while traveling as needed to project sites and Tribal communities.
Requirements
- A B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Master’s preferred in power systems, energy systems, or controls.
- FE required; PE strongly preferred or the ability to obtain within 12 months.
- 6-8 years of progressively responsible experience in electrical design for energy, industrial, or utility projects, including renewable generation, grid interconnection, and facility power distribution.
- Demonstrated success delivering power system studies and designs, including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, grounding, harmonic and transient analysis, and system reliability assessments.
- Significant experience leading full lifecycle deliverables: basis of design, single-line and three-line diagrams, equipment specifications, cable schedules, conduit and raceway design, lighting and grounding plans, control schematics, I&C points lists, and construction packages through IFC and as-builts.
- Proven capability with substation and distribution design, medium- and low-voltage systems, protection and control settings, SCADA integration, and microgrid or distributed energy resource projects.
- Strong working knowledge of codes and standards, including NEC, NESC, NFPA 70 and 70E, IEEE standards, UL listings, and utility interconnection requirements; familiarity with FERC and NERC considerations impacting project scope and schedule.
- Experience representing owners in technical and commercial discussions with utilities, OEMs, EPCs, and permitting authorities, including interconnection applications, easements and rights-of-way, and equipment performance guarantees.
- Track record preparing clear technical reports, calculation packages, and executive-level presentations that translate tradeoffs, risks, and cost impacts into actionable recommendations for senior stakeholders, including Tribal leadership and federal partners.
- Supervisory and mentoring experience directing junior engineers and consultants, establishing work plans, performing QA and design checks, and managing day-to-day technical tasks to meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements.
- Toolset proficiency with ETAP or SKM Power*Tools, CYME, PSS/E or PSCAD, AutoCAD or Revit, and relay configuration software such as SEL AcSELerator; strong spreadsheet modeling for estimates, schedules, and what-if scenarios.
- Field and commissioning readiness, including factory and site acceptance testing, energization support, start-up and turnover documentation, and commitment to electrical safety practices such as LOTO and job hazard analyses; willingness to travel to project sites and Tribal communities.
Benefits
- Travel is required to provide support at government or Tribal sites, attend meetings, conduct grant site visits, and represent DEMD at conferences.
- All travel must be pre-approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and will be reimbursed in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations (FTR).
