  • Coordinating with internal teams to ensure constructability and compliance

You’ll bring:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (power emphasis preferred)
  • EIT certification or progress toward professional licensure
  • Around 3–5 years of experience in electrical distribution design
  • Strong knowledge of three-phase power systems
  • Experience using AutoCAD and/or MicroStation
  • Confidence working with Microsoft Office and engineering documentation
  • Clear communication skills and an organized, detail-oriented approach

The Environment

You’ll be joining a utilities-focused engineering team that values learning, mentorship, and collaboration. Engineers are encouraged to grow their technical skills, ask questions, and take ownership of their work while being supported by experienced leadership.
