Senior Electrical Engineer (Generation)

About the Role

The Senior Electrical Engineer (Generation) provides technical assistance and guidance across multi‑site due‑diligence, investigation, remediation, permitting, design, development and construction of utility, industrial and commercial scale projects for public and private sectors. The role routinely supports research, concept development and construction of transmission and distribution substations, power regulation, renewable energy, and protection and control systems for utilities, transportation, building, and government projects. It also substantiates reports and documentation to meet industry standards for design, safety and functionality. Core duties include defining methods for collecting and analyzing substation component data, developing procurement packages, and ensuring compliance with IEEE/NESC, NERC and other standards. The engineer reviews third‑party design documents, creates single‑line and wiring diagrams, designs grounding grids, lightning protection, equipment sizing, AC/DC panels, conduit and trenching strategies, and performs detailed electrical calculations such as load studies, short‑circuit and protective device coordination. Additional tasks involve preparing construction safety and phasing plans, coordinating with owners, consultants and clients, and generating data visualizations, reports and presentations. The role works both independently and as part of cross‑functional teams of engineers, planners, scientists and construction professionals to execute multiple concurrent projects, calculate material and labor costs, and ensure compliance with permits and regulatory documentation. It provides guidance and training to entry‑level engineers, prepares technical reports, and assists in field investigations and risk‑mitigation planning. The engineer also develops and implements site Health and Safety Plans and interacts professionally with regulatory agencies, subcontractors and clients. • Define data collection methods and analyze substation component specifications for procurement and design. • Review and advise on third‑party design documents, procurement lists and project plans. • Create single‑line, wiring, grounding, lightning protection and equipment sizing diagrams compliant with IEEE/NESC and NERC standards. • Perform electrical calculations including load studies, short‑circuit analysis, protective device coordination and relay schematics. • Prepare construction safety, phasing plans and cost estimates; coordinate with owners, consultants and clients. • Generate visualizations, reports and presentations to communicate findings and recommendations. • Provide mentorship and training to entry‑level engineers and lead junior team members. • Develop and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs) and ensure regulatory compliance.
