8+ years of electrical engineering experience supporting large capital projects in power generation or process industries such as oil & gas, LNG, refining, chemicals, petrochemicals, or similar facilities
Demonstrated experience reviewing electrical engineering designs for large industrial facilities through engineering, procurement, construction, energization, and/or commissioning phases
Strong working knowledge of medium- and low-voltage power distribution, transformers, switchgear, motors, grounding, protection and control, DC/UPS systems, cable/raceway systems, and electrical equipment installation and testing
Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards such as NFPA 70/NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, ANSI, NEMA, and other standards relevant to utility-scale power generation
Ability to read and critically evaluate one-lines, wiring/control diagrams, protection schemes, equipment specifications, electrical studies, vendor drawings, and engineering change documentation
Demonstrated ability to evaluate technical problems, develop practical recommendations, and communicate effectively with EoR engineers, contractors, OEMs, construction personnel, commissioning teams, and client stakeholders
Ability to perform field walkdowns/observations on foot across active construction areas and moderate to rough terrain and to comply with project PPE and site safety requirements

Nice To Haves

Direct engineering, design assurance, construction, or commissioning experience on utility-scale combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) or simple-cycle gas generation projects
Experience working in an Owner’s Engineer, Owner’s Representative, EPCM, or independent design assurance role
Experience reviewing Engineer of Record (EoR) deliverables and managing technical interfaces across OEMs, EPC contractors, construction contractors, and owner teams
Experience with projects executed under EPC, EPCM, multi-prime, or owner-managed contracting models
Experience supporting constructability reviews, system turnover, commissioning, startup, and operational readiness
Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification, as applicable

Responsibilities

Perform independent design assurance reviews of electrical engineering deliverables for utility-scale CCGT projects, including one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, equipment specifications, load lists, cable schedules, grounding designs, raceway layouts, protection and control schemes, relay settings/coordination studies, short-circuit studies, load-flow studies, arc-flash studies, equipment layouts, and vendor drawings.
Provide technical oversight of major plant electrical systems and interfaces, such as generators, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, motors, variable-frequency drives, DC systems, UPS systems, emergency/backup power, grounding, lightning protection, lighting, raceway, and cable systems.
Evaluate interfaces among turbine generators, OEM electrical packages, plant auxiliary systems, the switchyard/interconnection, protection systems, excitation systems, synchronization systems, and plant DCS/I&C systems.
Review electrical system capacity, redundancy, reliability, equipment ratings, auxiliary-load assumptions, and design margins to ensure alignment with plant operating requirements and performance objectives.
Review RFIs, technical queries, design deviations, field change notices, and proposed scope changes, providing owner-side recommendations on technical acceptability, electrical safety, reliability, cost/schedule implications, and corrective actions.
Review NCRs and electrical installation/quality issues, evaluate dispositions, and support mitigation of deficiencies in cabling, termination, grounding, equipment, testing, protection, and installation.
Support constructability and installation reviews, including cable routing, raceway congestion, equipment access, grounding continuity, hazardous-area requirements, separation requirements, equipment maintainability, and temporary/permanent power sequencing.
Support MOC by evaluating electrical scope changes and identifying impacts on system studies, equipment ratings, protection settings, drawings, cable schedules, construction work packages, energization plans, costs, and schedule.
Support electrical system turnover, energization, commissioning, synchronization, startup, and performance testing by reviewing test procedures, system boundaries, energization prerequisites, relay/protection testing, OEM requirements, punch items, and readiness documentation.
Coordinate closely with mechanical, civil/structural, I&C, construction, commissioning, project controls, commercial, and operations teams to resolve multidisciplinary interface issues.
Document design assurance findings, maintain technical issue/action logs, support project risk management, and communicate material electrical risks and recommendations to project leadership.
Promote electrical safety by design and identify conditions that could affect personnel safety, equipment protection, plant reliability, operability, maintainability, or grid/interconnection performance.
