Electrical Facilities Engineer at Fervo Energy in Houston, TX | Kablio

Role

Description

specification generation

electrical design

system analysis

tradeoff analysis

procurement support

standardization

As an Electrical Facilities Engineer, you will be a technical leader in the design and optimization of Fervo’s innovative well pad facilities that deliver geothermal brine to / from the power facilities. You will apply advanced engineering judgment and first-principles analysis to develop high-performance, cost-effective electrical system designs, while collaborating with other engineers focused on the power plant system design and influencing cross-disciplinary decision-making. As Fervo transitions from first-of-a-kind projects to scaling deployment of its plants, you will play a key role in driving standardization and efficiency improvements across projects. You will report to the Well Pad Facilities Lead Engineer.

Own specification generation, design, and analysis of electrical systems for well pad facilities (well field electrical equipment, power delivery, systems, transmission, etc.)
Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and accountability, modeling the values that define a world-class engineering team
Collaborate closely across disciplines (process, mechanical, reservoir, drilling, construction) as well as with external partners to drive integrated solutions
Drive first-principles tradeoff analysis across power delivery systems to optimize system performance
Identify opportunities to simplify and accelerate designs while maintaining technical excellence
Inform and support procurement efforts relating to electrical scopes of well pad designs

$400M+ Equity Raised

Funding for Geothermal Expansion

Raised over $400 million in equity and $17 million in grants to scale EGS systems focused on firm clean baseload.

3.5 MW Power Achieved

Geothermal System Milestone

First commercial horizontal well pair geothermal system with 3.5 MW baseline power and 60 L/s flowrate achieved on July 18, 2023.

~70% Cost Reduction

Efficient Drilling Advancements

Reduced drilling time by ~70%, cutting costs from $9.4 million to $4.8 million per well at Cape Station.

33 MW & 320 MW PPAs

Clean Energy Contracts

Signed power purchase agreements totaling 33 MW with Clean Power Alliance and 320 MW with Southern California Edison, avoiding approximately 21,005 metric tons of CO₂ annually.

Provides 24/7 carbon-free energy via next-generation geothermal power
Cape Station project fully permitted for up to 2 GW, begins electricity generation in 2026
Combining geothermal with direct air capture for integrated carbon removal
Net-zero target: implicit – deploying carbon-free energy at scale by mid-2020s
