Senior Level Electrical Engineer

Sargent & Lundy•Clayton, MO

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Senior Level Electrical Engineer works in a project team with engineers and designers to design, modify, and analyze electrical systems for power and energy, industrial, and renewable energy solar PV projects. Projects range from existing plant retrofits to new installations. The role includes power distribution design; preparing equipment and installation-service specifications; producing and reviewing design documentation and calculations; coordinating with project teams, clients, and vendors; and providing technical guidance to less experienced engineers. The position also involves travel to client and vendor offices for design reviews and to plant sites for construction coordination and design verification. The posting describes the position as hybrid, with in-office work three days per week. It gives conflicting location information: it first identifies the Clayton, Missouri office and later says the position is based in Tampa, Florida. The role requires a BS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program, a PE license or ability to earn one, and at least eight years of relevant plant-design experience. Sargent & Lundy does not sponsor U.S. work authorization for this position.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program.
PE license or ability to earn a PE license.
At least 8 years of experience in power plant or industrial plant design, focused on integrated, detailed system design for new facilities or modifications or replacements for existing facilities.
Experience selecting equipment and materials, developing control philosophies, and preparing and assembling calculations and specifications.
Experience designing electrical systems, including medium- and low-voltage distribution systems, transformers, generators, motors, communication systems, equipment selection, and analytical calculations.
Experience performing calculations using ETAP and/or SKM.
Technical knowledge of available electrical power distribution equipment.
Experience serving as a firm/client liaison in a support or lead engineering role.
Experience reviewing other engineers’ design calculations and drawings.
Not eligible for U.S. work authorization sponsorship.
