About The Position

The Senior Electrical Engineer serves as the site technical authority for electrical infrastructure and power distribution systems, including substations, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), generators, and associated electrical assets. The role develops and maintains a multi-year electrical infrastructure roadmap covering asset lifecycle planning, equipment modernization, critical spare parts, and future capital needs. The position is the primary site interface with Corporate Engineering for electrical projects. It reviews proposed solutions to ensure alignment with site standards, operational needs, maintainability, safety requirements, and long-term infrastructure objectives. The engineer also provides technical guidance to engineering, maintenance, operations, contractors, and project teams; supports electrical safety and infrastructure modernization; and mentors engineers and technical personnel. The role is based in Baltimore, Maryland. Work may involve indoor and outdoor conditions, varying noise, heat, humidity, cold, wet or dusty environments, heights, ladders, platforms, and confined spaces. The position requires rotating shifts, overtime, holidays, and weekends as assigned or needed, and use of required personal protective equipment.
