Working under the direction of senior technical staff, the engineer prepares calculations and drawings for review, supports project teams and client deliverables, builds knowledge through mentorship and training, and helps deliver safe, reliable, efficient, and cost-effective energy solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Must have passed or be eligible to sit for the FE exam by the time of graduation.
• 0 to 2 years of electrical engineering experience.
• Coursework-level knowledge of power distribution, low- and medium-voltage systems, grounding, backup power, lighting, equipment specifications, and electrical infrastructure design.
• Awareness of applicable codes and standards, including NEC/NFPA, IEEE, ANSI, IEC, and relevant utility requirements, with willingness to learn to apply them under supervision.
• Ability to follow technical direction, organize assigned work, manage deadlines on multiple tasks, and communicate clearly in writing and in person with team members and project stakeholders.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, attention to detail, organizational, and interpersonal communication skills, with a commitment to accuracy and learning quickly.

Nice To Haves

• Internships, co-ops, undergraduate research, or capstone work related to energy services, power systems, utility infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial power, or engineering consulting.
• Exposure through coursework, internships, or student projects to renewable energy, battery energy storage systems, distributed energy resources, substations, switchgear, grid interconnection, or utility coordination.
• Exposure through coursework or internships to power system studies such as short circuit, arc flash, load flow, protective device coordination, and interconnection studies.
• Familiarity with electrical design and analysis tools such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, MATLAB, or similar platforms.

Responsibilities

• Assist with electrical engineering design and production of deliverables for energy services projects, including utility infrastructure, power distribution, renewable energy, energy storage, backup power, and site electrical systems.
• Prepare low- and medium-voltage design documents under a senior engineer's direction, including single-line diagrams, load calculations, equipment sizing, grounding, lighting, raceway, feeder, and distribution layouts.
• Support power system studies by building models, collecting equipment data, and tabulating results for senior review. Studies include short circuit, load flow, arc flash, protective device coordination, feasibility, interconnection, and life cycle cost analyses.
• Learn and apply utility coordination and grid interconnection requirements; gather information for service entrance design, substation or switchgear interfaces, and applicable owner or utility standards.
• Draft technical reports, calculations, specifications, cost estimate backup, feasibility study content, equipment selections, construction documents, and other project deliverables for senior engineer review.
• Self-check assigned work before submittal, assist with quality control reviews at project milestones, and help verify deliverables are complete and comply with applicable codes, standards, client requirements, and project scope.
• Help resolve routine design and construction-phase issues, draft responses to RFIs, review submittals for conformance with the design, and escalate unusual or complex items to a senior engineer.
• Communicate with internal project teams, vendors, and contractors on assigned tasks; participate alongside a senior engineer in client, utility, and agency meetings, taking notes and tracking action items.
• Build technical knowledge through mentorship, formal training, self-learning, and hands-on project work; ask questions when direction is unclear and share lessons learned with peers.
• Support business development and proposal efforts by compiling background information, past project data, figures, and exhibits as requested.
• Contribute ideas for continuous improvement of design standards, workflows, tools, templates, checklists, and quality practices.
