Senior Electrical Engineer (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

The role

This person will perform hands-on electrical engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work. They will act as a quality gate for automated electrical outputs and help define product requirements for power and gas-to-power projects.

What you will do

• Do real electrical engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work
• Be the quality gate on automated electrical outputs
• Define how electrical scope gets developed and validated through FEED
• Review and validate electrical deliverables including single-lines, load lists, transformer and switchgear sizing, distribution architecture, and grounding
• Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies
• Map where electrical rework happens and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Process, Instrumentation, and the grid interconnection
• Separate repetitive steps from those needing real engineering judgment

Required qualifications

• 7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, owner-operator, or utility, with most of it on power generation or gas-to-power
• Direct experience on combined cycle, simple cycle, gas-to-power, LNG, or cogeneration projects
• Personally owned single-line diagram and electrical load list development through FEED
• Strong on power system architecture: GSU and station service transformers, MV/LV switchgear, MCCs, distribution, grounding
• Hands-on with power system study tools: ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, PSS/E, or similar
• Working knowledge of NEC/NFPA 70, IEEE, NESC, NERC, and IEC
• Familiarity with grid interconnection and the switchyard interface
• Ability to spot inconsistencies across load lists, single-lines, and vendor packages fast
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies
• Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats

Nice to have

• Discipline lead or technical authority experience
• Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
• Brownfield tie-ins and constrained or islanded power systems
• Protection and relaying philosophy, or interconnection study experience
• Real interest in AI and automation

Benefits

• Meaningful base + equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
• Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement
