About The Position

We are seeking engineering graduates in the field of Electrical Engineering to perform engineering and design services. We have fantastic opportunities for design engineers to support electrical & control system design services, primarily using AutoCAD and AVEVA. Initial responsibilities will focus on design development, arc flash and distribution calculations, single line diagram development, equipment specifications and vendor coordination. The work is primarily in the office, but there are often great opportunities to perform field investigations and validation for the pipeline and utility designs. Engineers in this position have typically learned quickly through increasingly challenging assignments across a broad range of power and controls projects, and their role has grown to include coordination with other engineering disciplines, lead design responsibilities, project engineering and project management. Job duties will also include interfacing with clients and construction contractors, field investigation, and construction support. SPEC Services has an excellent reputation for energy and infrastructure engineering and design and is experiencing increasing demand for this type of work. We are seeking to add enthusiastic design engineers to supplement and support our dedicated design engineering teams with projects in California and beyond. We offer challenging work in a productive environment with career opportunities to develop, along a technical or project management career path. The position has a flexible 9/80 work schedule with a hybrid work location, supporting SPEC's Fountain Valley office.
