This is a hands-on, technical leadership role, not a people management position. You’ll operate as a subject matter expert in industrial power systems, shaping complex designs, guiding project teams, and partnering directly with customers on mission-critical solutions.
What You’ll Do
Lead end-to-end electrical system design for industrial and mission-critical projects
Own system architecture across MV/LV distribution, substations, and backup power systems
Act as the technical authority on complex, high-value projects
Develop and review: Single line diagrams
Protection and coordination studies
Schematics and equipment layouts
Partner directly with customers to define robust, scalable power solutions
Provide technical leadership across multiple concurrent projects (often 10–15+)
Mentor engineers and elevate technical capability across the team
What Sets This Role Apart
True technical leadership role, no people management required
Work on large-scale, complex electrical infrastructure, not small commercial systems
High visibility with customers and leadership
Opportunity to shape engineering standards and system design approaches
15–20+ years in electrical engineering
PE license highly preferred
Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (Master’s in Physics or Math related highly desirable)
Deep expertise in industrial power systems (“big wires”)
Strong experience with: MV/LV distribution
Substations, switchgear, transformers
Generators and UPS systems
Protection & coordination (SEL relays preferred)
Background in industrial, utility, data center, or large infrastructure projects
Experience with industrial engineering firms
You may currently be a:
Principal / Lead Engineer at an engineering firm working on large industrial projects
Senior engineer ready to step into a technical authority role
Power systems specialist in an industrial EPC, utility, or mission-critical environment
