- Partner with engineering, maintenance, operations and outside contractors
- Lead projects through installation and commissioning
What We’re Looking For
- Strong medium-voltage power distribution/substation experience
- Experience with protective relays / protection & controls — SEL, GE, Eaton or similar
- Strong power systems troubleshooting and engineering background
- Utility, power services or heavy industrial/manufacturing backgrounds are all relevant
- Experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, arc-flash, short-circuit or coordination studies is a plus
Compensation & Highlights
- $115K–$160K base salary
- 10% annual bonus opportunity
- Sign-on bonus
- Retention bonus
- Up to $40K grossed-up relocation assistance
- No travel
