A DAY IN THE LIFE
As a Lead Electrical Engineer – Energy Parks, you'll lead the electrical engineering execution of some of the industry's most complex and innovative energy infrastructure projects. You'll provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering teams while establishing electrical engineering standards, mentoring engineers, and ensuring designs are safe, reliable, constructible, and compliant with industry codes and client requirements.
Your day may involve collaborating with Owners, Engineers of Record (EOR), Project Engineering, Estimating, Integrated Supply Chain, Construction, and equipment manufacturers to develop electrical system designs, review engineering packages, coordinate utility interconnections, and resolve complex technical challenges across multiple concurrent projects. Projects may combine renewable energy, battery energy storage systems (BESS), gas generation, simple-cycle and combined-cycle power plants, substations, transmission infrastructure, controls, and data center power systems into integrated energy campuses designed to meet the growing demand for reliable power.
