About The Position

Bath Engineering, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saber Power Services, is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead engineering teams designing and implementing complex industrial power distribution, utility infrastructure, and electrical system projects. The role calls for a technically strong engineer who can lead multidisciplinary project execution, support field activities, mentor engineering staff, and develop practical solutions for active operating facilities and industrial environments. Projects may include industrial power distribution; medium- and high-voltage systems; utility infrastructure and substations; water and wastewater treatment facilities; oil and gas and process facilities; brownfield retrofits and expansions; industrial and commercial facilities; central utility plants; and construction support and commissioning. The engineer will lead electrical design, oversee power systems and studies, coordinate substation and protection work, develop and review engineering deliverables and specifications, and support projects from early studies and conceptual design through detailed engineering, construction, startup, testing, and commissioning. The role also includes client and vendor coordination, field investigations, multidisciplinary collaboration, mentoring, and support for proposals, estimates, and project planning. Safety is a core value; the organization works safely or not at all.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited college or university.
15–20 years of professional experience in industrial electrical engineering, consulting engineering, utility infrastructure, or related industries.
Strong working knowledge of NEC, NESC, IEEE, ANSI, NFPA, API, and related engineering standards.
Proficiency with SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar engineering software.
Experience supporting field investigations, brownfield projects, retrofits, and facility upgrades.
Strong leadership, organizational, and project coordination skills.
Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams and mentoring junior staff.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong focus on quality, safety, and client satisfaction.
Advanced understanding of motors, transformers, switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, relays, and industrial control systems.

Nice To Haves

Licensed Professional Engineer (PE); preferred or strongly desired.
