Electrical Power Generation Engineer - Multiple Teams

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the electrical power-generation subject-matter expert across concept development, detailed design, construction, commissioning, operational handover, and lifecycle support.
• Define electrical design criteria, system architecture, capacity, redundancy, reliability, maintainability, grounding, protection, and operational-readiness requirements.
• Lead design and technical reviews for grid substations, utility interconnections, high-voltage and medium-voltage substations, transformers, switchgear, breakers, protection relays, cables, grounding, metering, and communications interfaces.
• Design and review MV and LV electrical distribution systems, including MV switchgear, transformers, LV switchboards, motor-control centers, panelboards, distribution boards, UPS interfaces, automatic transfer switches, and busway systems.
• Review electrical interfaces for generator systems, generator step-up transformers, generator breakers, paralleling switchgear, load banks, and associated balance-of-plant electrical equipment.
• Establish and validate power-system operating strategies, including utility transfer, generator paralleling, power quality monitoring, load shedding, restoration, emergency operations, and failover scenarios.
• Coordinate utility-interconnection requirements, including protection coordination, relay settings, anti-islanding, transfer-trip, telemetry, metering, energization plans, and operating agreements.
• Perform or review short-circuit, load-flow, arc-flash, harmonic, grounding, voltage-drop, and protective-device coordination studies.
• Review electrical one-line diagrams, schematics, protection diagrams, equipment specifications, cable schedules, vendor submittals, and construction-installation packages.
• Collaborate with mechanical, I&C, network, controls, construction, delivery, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure coordinated, buildable, testable, and maintainable solutions.
• Develop and support commissioning plans for substation energization, equipment startup, relay testing, switchgear testing, generator testing, load-bank testing, integrated systems testing, and utility-transfer tests.
• Lead root-cause analysis of electrical faults, protective trips, power-quality events, equipment failures, and recurring operational issues.
• Develop electrical operating procedures, maintenance strategies, emergency-response plans, spare-parts recommendations, and lifecycle replacement plans.
• Ensure complete turnover documentation, including as-built drawings, relay settings, test reports, commissioning records, equipment manuals, training materials, warranties, and asset records.
• Support operations through periodic testing, outage planning, capacity upgrades, maintenance optimization, and continuous reliability improvement.
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical safety, utility, environmental, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of experience with utility substations, grid interconnection, MV and LV electrical distribution systems, and mission-critical or industrial power infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of MV switchgear, LV switchboards, transformers, protective relays, generators, paralleling switchgear, UPS systems, ATS equipment, and electrical distribution equipment.
• Experience performing or reviewing short-circuit, load-flow, arc-flash, grounding, harmonic, and protection-coordination studies.
• Demonstrated experience delivering electrical infrastructure from design through construction, commissioning, and operational turnover.
• Ability to interpret and develop electrical one-line diagrams, control schematics, protection diagrams, equipment specifications, and commissioning procedures.
• Strong cross-functional coordination, troubleshooting, technical writing, vendor-management, and communication skills.
• Ability to support 24/7 critical operations, planned maintenance windows, and emergency-response events.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with hyperscale or enterprise data centers, microgrids, utility-scale power systems, or high-voltage substations.
• Familiarity with IEEE, IEC, NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, NEC, NESC, NETA, OSHA, and applicable utility-interconnection standards.
• Experience with SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB/Hitachi Energy, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and Vertiv UPS systems and equipment.
• Professional Engineer license, NETA certification, or equivalent power-systems credential.
