Electrical Engineer - Power

Electrical Engineer - Power - Own the backbone of critical water infrastructureLos Angeles, CADesign the power behind safe, reliable waterYou'll take the lead on detailed power system design for complex water and wastewater treatment facilities - the infrastructure that keeps communities running and protects public health.This is not routine building power. This is high-impact work where your calculations, layouts, and specs directly influence reliability, safety, and resilience.You'll be the go-to electrical power engineer, working with minimal supervision from senior leadership and collaborating closely with clients and multi-discipline teams.If you're an experienced Electrical Engineer who lives in NEC, NESC, and NFPA 820 and wants your work to matter, we want to talk to you.What You'll Work OnElectrical power systems for water treatment facilitiesElectrical power systems for wastewater treatment facilitiesLoad and short-circuit studiesPower quality, harmonics, and power factor analysisConduit routing and raceway systemsMotor control center (MCC) designSwitchgear designTechnical specifications for power systems and equipmentYou'll lean on standards and references every day: NEC, NFPA 820, NESC, and the IEEE color book series.Your core challenge: design robust, code-compliant power systems that work flawlessly in some of the most demanding public infrastructure environments.What You'll Be DoingPerform detailed electrical power systems design for water and wastewater treatment facilities with minimal supervision from a Senior Electrical EngineerExecute load calculations to properly size equipment and feedersDevelop detailed conduit routing and raceway plansDesign motor control centers and associated control schemesDesign low- and medium-voltage switchgear configurationsPrepare and generate technical specifications for electrical equipment and systemsAnalyze available short circuit current for equipment duty and protectionCalculate voltage drop and recommend design adjustmentsEvaluate harmonic distortion and power factor for system performanceApply NEC, NFPA 820, and NESC requirements to all aspects of designUse IEEE color book series guidance in power system planning and designConduct field investigative work and support system start-up activitiesCommunicate clearly with internal teams and external clientsRepresent the firm positively in client interactionsWhat We're Looking For6 to 12 years of experience working in Electrical EngineeringBachelor's degree in Electrical EngineeringCurrent Professional Engineer (PE) registrationFamiliarity with power system applications including short circuit, voltage drop, harmonic distortion, and power factor calculationsField investigative and start-up experienceStrong understanding of NEC, NFPA 820, and NESCFamiliarity with the IEEE color book seriesProficiency with MS Word and ExcelExcellent written and verbal communication skillsHighly motivated, articulate, self-starting, and able to interact positively with clientsThe Experience That Will Really Get Our AttentionYou're the person the team calls when a power system problem looks ugly - because you understand both the calculations and the realities in the field. You've been on site, dug into as-built conditions, supported commissioning, and you know how treatment plant environments change the game for electrical design.You're comfortable leading your own work with limited supervision, translating code and IEEE guidance into practical designs, and explaining your decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.High-signal experience: NEC - NFPA 820 - NESC - IEEE color book series - load calculations - short circuit current calculations - voltage drop analysis - harmonic distortion analysis - power factor correction - water treatment facilities - wastewater treatment facilities - MCC design - switchgear design - field investigation - start-up and commissioning - MS Word - MS ExcelWhy This Opportunity?You'll work on essential water and wastewater infrastructure projects where electrical reliability isn't a nice-to-have - it's mission critical.You'll have real autonomy in your designs, operating with minimal oversight from senior staff while still having access to seasoned experts when you need them.This role lets you bring together calculations, codes, fieldwork, and client interaction - a full-spectrum electrical power engineering position in a niche that truly matters.Interested?If you're an experienced Electrical Engineer who wants your work to directly support public health and resilient communities, let's get your background in front of the hiring team.
