Senior Electrical Engineer
About The Position
ENTEK is seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join its team in Terre Haute, Indiana. The role leads the design, reliability, maintenance, and expansion of low-, medium-, and high-voltage electrical systems supporting ENTEK manufacturing facilities, including power distribution networks, utility infrastructure, and central plant operations. The engineer serves as a technical authority for electrical safety, system performance, capital projects, and engineering standards, partnering with operations, maintenance, and cross-functional teams to support safe, efficient, and sustainable growth. The role provides technical leadership and mentoring to engineers, designers, contractors, and project teams without direct supervisory responsibility. It also supports electrical strategy, standards, specifications, and infrastructure planning across ENTEK facilities, capital projects, and future expansions. Work takes place in office, manufacturing, construction, substation, and commissioning environments. Employees may work near moving mechanical parts and may be exposed to fumes, airborne particles, toxic or caustic chemicals, loud production noise, high or precarious places, and outside weather conditions. Appropriate PPE is required where applicable. Domestic and occasional international travel may be required.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited university.
- At least 10 years of industrial electrical engineering experience, including low- and medium-voltage power distribution, electrical system studies, and manufacturing or process-facility infrastructure.
- Proven leadership of capital projects from design through commissioning, including coordination with contractors, consultants, and equipment suppliers.
- Expert knowledge of NEC, NESC, Title 24, applicable IEEE and OSHA standards, and electrical safety principles.
- Knowledge of electrical power system modeling and analysis tools such as EasyPower, ETAP, or SKM.
- Knowledge of electrical design and documentation tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, Revit, or EPLAN.
- Familiarity with PLC/HMI systems, VFDs, instrumentation, protective relaying, and power monitoring.
- Ability to prepare engineering reports, validate system models, and review project documentation.
- Working knowledge of Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft 365.
Nice To Haves
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or a master's degree in electrical engineering.
- Experience with high-voltage systems, central plant operations, automation, energy storage, and utility service expansion.
- Experience in battery manufacturing, chemical processing, semiconductor, or heavy industrial environments.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and oversee electrical infrastructure projects, including substations, switchgear, transformers, motor control centers, industrial automation, energy storage, and utility service upgrades, from concept through commissioning and operational turnover.
- Analyze electrical loads, capacity, power quality, and system performance; perform or review load-flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, voltage-drop, and protective-device coordination studies using power modeling tools.
- Develop and approve single-line diagrams, engineering calculations, technical specifications, design standards, protective relay settings, testing protocols, and other project deliverables.
- Oversee consultants, EPC firms, suppliers, and contractors through design, construction, factory and site acceptance testing, startup, and commissioning; ensure technical accuracy, schedule adherence, quality, and cost control.
- Partner with operations, maintenance, controls, procurement, utility providers, and external agencies to deliver large-scale improvements, system expansions, and resilient infrastructure.
- Provide technical guidance for critical equipment failures and outages; support utility outage response planning, lead root-cause analyses, and implement corrective actions to improve reliability.
- Evaluate electrical safety procedures, switching and energization practices, lockout/tagout, and hazard controls; champion compliance with applicable standards and utility requirements.
- Identify energy-efficiency and sustainability opportunities through system upgrades, load optimization, and electrical modeling.
- Mentor engineers and support continuous improvement.
- Own and develop electrical engineering standards, specifications, and best practices across ENTEK facilities and projects.
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineers, designers, contractors, and project teams without direct supervisory responsibility.
- Support electrical strategy and infrastructure planning across multiple capital projects and future facility expansions.
