Engineer III or Senior Engineer (Electrical)
About The Position
Duke Energy is hiring an Electrical Engineer for the Operations Support Engineering (OSE) Electrical team at ONS. The position supports equipment reliability and component maintenance and planning, with responsibility for electrical systems and/or components of varying complexity. The engineer serves as a site subject matter expert for assigned areas and coordinates with Design, Maintenance, Operations, and other departments to manage concerns, schedules, budgets, and related work. This role is offered at either the Engineer III or Senior Engineer level, depending on the successful applicant’s qualifications. Engineer III employees solve complex engineering problems with general supervision and develop greater independence.
