Electrical Project Engineer (Power Infrastructure)

Hunt Services Company • Dallas, TX

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

Hunt Energy Network (HEN) is seeking an Electrical Project Engineer to join their team. This hybrid role involves both commercial origination and hands-on project execution for large-scale islanded power campuses serving hyperscale AI data center loads. The position will advance offtake and partnership opportunities for the islanded power platform while managing day-to-day development execution, including vendors, permits, schedule, and budget. The role also supports broader business development and M&A opportunities across the Hunt energy platform.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of MV power systems: switchgear, transformers, protective relaying, and cable systems
• Exposure to power system study tools (ETAP, SKM, or PSCAD) strongly preferred.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills — able to translate study results and vendor data into decision-ready summaries for senior stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel to project sites, factory tests, and vendor locations (~15–25%).
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (power systems emphasis preferred)
• EIT/FE a plus.
• 2–5 years of experience in power generation, utility/industrial electrical design, data centers, or EPC electrical engineering.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with reciprocating engine gensets or turbines, BESS/inverter-based resources and grid-forming controls, islanded/microgrid operation, or NEC/IEEE standards for generation facilities.

Responsibilities

• Review and coordinate electrical design deliverables: one-line diagrams, 34.5 kV / 13.8 kV MV collector and distribution design, switchgear specifications, protection and relay coordination, and grounding — across the owner's engineer, OEM, and EPC.
• Support power system studies: short-circuit/fault current (ETAP), load flow, arc flash, harmonics, and grid-forming BESS integration studies for islanded (off-grid) operation; track study inputs and reconcile results against equipment ratings.
• Coordinate generator electrical integration: genset alternator data, paralleling and controls interfaces, transformer and cable schedules, and factory/site acceptance test review.
• Maintain project electrical analyses: generation capacity and redundancy (N+X) cases, energization ramp sequencing, auxiliary load estimates, and BESS sizing inputs against load-swing requirements.
• Prepare and quality-check technical documents: RFIs, vendor technical requests, purchase order technical exhibits, and permit application electrical inputs; track vendor deliverables and interfaces to closure.
• Attend design reviews, factory witness tests, and site visits; support commissioning planning as the program moves to execution.

Benefits

• 401K – 12% employer contribution with no vesting period (6% Match and 6% non-matching contribution)
• Highly competitive compensation
• Hybrid work options available for most roles
• Five to eight weeks of PTO annually based on years of experience; eleven additional holidays per calendar year
