Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer – Power Innovation plays a critical role in commissioning and energizing complex power systems within industrial and energy environments. This position ensures electrical systems are installed, tested, verified, and transitioned safely into operational service. The engineer supports all phases of commissioning—from pre-functional checks through startup—while driving technical excellence, safety, and system reliability.Key ResponsibilitiesSupport commissioning, startup, and turnover activities for electrical power systems and equipment.Lead testing, verification, and troubleshooting of:Switchgear, transformers, generators, and auxiliary systemsProtection relays, control systems, and electrical distribution equipmentReview and validate power system studies (short circuit, coordination, arc flash) against as-built conditions prior to energization.Perform and oversee electrical testing such as insulation resistance, hi-pot, relay testing, and functional system checks.Execute pre-commissioning tasks including loop checks, device calibration, and protection system validation.Participate in FAT, SAT, PSSR, and RFSU processes to confirm system readiness for startup.Collaborate with Construction, Project Management, Controls, and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution.Provide field-based support for troubleshooting, issue resolution, and safe energization activities.Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and all safety protocols.Support commissioning of BESS, power generation systems, and integrated electrical networks.Maintain accurate commissioning documentation including ITRs, test reports, redlines, and turnover packages.Identify and resolve punch list items prior to system handover.Coordinate with vendors and contractors during installation, testing, and commissioning.Contribute to continuous improvement of commissioning procedures, tools, and best practices.Mentor junior engineers and support team development.Required QualificationsBachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited), orBachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology with an active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license8+ years of experience in electrical engineering, power systems, commissioning, or industrial energy environmentsStrong understanding of:Electrical power equipment (switchgear, transformers, generators)Electrical drawings, one-lines, schematics, and control systemsCommissioning, testing, and startup methodologies
