About the Role

We are designing the grid of the future! EPE is seeking an experienced Engineer for detailed design engineering on utility-scale and distributed energy projects across our growing portfolio, including solar PV, BESS, wind, hybrid power, microgrids, and EV/data center infrastructure. This position offers the opportunity to work in a project team environment with other engineers and designers involved in the design, modification, and analysis of electrical systems.

Responsibilities

  • Experience with detailed electrical design for generation, transmission, and distribution, including substations for solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems, their integration into the electrical grid, underground distribution systems, industrial electrical plant applications, and communications technologies.
  • Experience with substation and collection system design reviews.
  • Experience with the EPC RFP process and equipment specifications.
  • Outline initial design concepts for substations and oversee the review or creation of detailed designs, including layouts, elevations, single-line diagrams, ground grid design, lightning protection, DC and AC control schematics, wiring connections, cable schedules, and raceway organization (cable trays, duct banks, trenches), along with a bill of materials.
  • Craft technical specifications for key electrical components to meet customer needs and adhere to relevant standards.
  • Evaluate proposals, specifications, and drawings from vendors.
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (civil, structural, transmission, system studies) and perform design development, analysis, or review tasks independently.
  • Complete assigned projects on time while adhering to project quality and budget objectives.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Minimum of six years of experience in electrical engineering within utilities, energy systems, or renewable energy sectors.
  • Strong knowledge of power systems, grid operations, and utility infrastructure.
  • Experience with renewable energy systems including solar PV, wind, and battery storage.
  • Experience in developing, designing, and checking detailed design drawings and documents for high voltage substations.
  • Based in the US.
  • Professional Engineering (PE) license (asset but not required).
  • Demonstrated expertise in analytical tools/software used in the industry.
  • Knowledgeable in industrial standards, codes, and construction practices.
  • Strong customer focus, both internal and external.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Comfortable outside of one's comfort zone.
  • Proactive in learning new technology and engineering knowledge.
