About The Position

AECOM is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join a multidisciplinary design team working on challenging power-generation projects, including traditional steam and thermal generation and advanced nuclear technologies. The role may be performed remotely and/or from AECOM Energy offices in multiple U.S. locations. The successful candidate is an experienced, detail-oriented engineer who makes independent decisions under senior-staff guidance and is interested in progressing toward project technical leadership. The engineer may serve as an Electrical or I&C Lead on projects of varying sizes, contribute to and oversee design deliverables, mentor engineers, and support business development through task planning, effort estimates, and schedules. The role provides technical support for risk assessments, due diligence, and studies, and supports projects throughout their lifecycle—from feasibility and design through bidding, construction, startup, and commissioning. Work includes engineering calculations and power-system modeling; developing electrical construction drawings, lists, schedules, specifications, data sheets, and equipment packages; reviewing others’ work for quality; and participating in internal and client meetings, with occasional travel. AECOM offers comprehensive benefits that may vary depending on employment status, as well as flexible work options and training and development programs.
