What you can expect:

Employee ownership: Build an ownership stake in the company through our ESOP.

Challenging, varied projects: Gain experience with industrial electrical systems across chemicals, refining, and power generation.

Professional growth: Build your technical expertise through mentorship, hands-on experience, and increasingly complex assignments.

A collaborative environment: Work alongside engineers, designers, and project professionals who share knowledge and support one another.

Opportunity to make an impact: Contribute ideas, solve real engineering challenges, and take on greater responsibility as your career develops.

What You'll Do

• Develop and support electrical designs for industrial facilities, including power distribution, grounding, lighting, and electrical equipment systems.

• Prepare electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, equipment schedules, calculations, and technical specifications.

• Support the selection, specification, and evaluation of electrical equipment, including transformers, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), generators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

• Perform or assist with electrical engineering calculations and power-system studies, including load flow, voltage drop, motor starting, short-circuit, and arc-flash analysis using tools such as ETAP or SKM.

• Apply relevant electrical codes, industry standards, and client requirements, including NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and applicable hazardous-location requirements.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to coordinate electrical deliverables, resolve design questions, and support project schedules.

• Participate in field visits, equipment reviews, troubleshooting, startup, and commissioning activities as assigned.

• Support material takeoffs, technical bid evaluations, procurement activities, and project estimating.

• Continue developing your technical expertise while contributing to process improvements, knowledge sharing, and mentoring opportunities as your experience grows.
