About The Position

Duke Energy is hiring an Electrical Engineer at the Engineer II or Engineer III level in its Project Management and Construction (PMC) group. PMC builds new power generation assets and provides engineering leadership and oversight of contract engineering resources throughout major projects, including development, design, execution, commissioning, and turnover to operations. Its projects include solar, bulk energy storage, simple-cycle and combined-cycle generating facilities, and development work involving advanced nuclear, hydro pumped storage, carbon capture, LNG storage, and potentially offshore wind. The Engineer supports major projects from initial scoping and development through performance testing and close-out. The Engineer II role solves complex engineering problems with general supervision; the Engineer III role does so with limited supervision. Both roles apply engineering concepts and procedures to complex, varied work and report to the Manager, PMC Design Engineering – Electrical. The position supports projects primarily in the Carolinas, with potential work in Florida and the Midwest. Charlotte is the preferred base location, though other locations in Duke Energy territory may be considered. Work is hybrid, with both remote and onsite work after onboarding, and includes time at construction sites and in an office. Travel is listed as 15–25% (also described as 25%).
