• Building models, running calculations, producing drawings, and collecting field data.
• Working under the supervision of senior engineers and licensed PEs while building core skills of a power systems consultant.
• Expect real project work from day one, with a clear path toward independent project responsibility and PE licensure.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering from an ABET accredited program, power systems coursework preferred.
• Zero to two years of experience; internships and co-ops in power or industrial settings count.
• FE exam passed or scheduled, preferred.
• Exposure to ETAP, SKM Power*Tools, or EasyPower is a plus.
• Exposure / working knowledge of AutoCAD.
• Solid grasp of three phase power fundamentals: per unit analysis, fault calculations, transformer and motor basics.
• Clear written and verbal communication, and the discipline to document your work.
• Willingness to work in industrial environments and follow site safety requirements.
• Eligible to work in the U.S. and able to pass client background checks.

Requirements

• Provide engineering and design support to Project Engineers on new installation and retrofit projects for multiple clients: models, calculations, drawings, and deliverable preparation.
• Build and update power system models in ETAP, SKM Power*Tools, and EasyPower under senior engineer direction.
• Perform short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash calculations per IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E.
• Travel to client facilities to collect equipment data and verify one line accuracy, including energized data collection under NFPA 70E procedures with proper PPE and training (5-15% travel).
• Create and revise one line diagrams, schematics, and design drawings in AutoCAD.
• Draft study reports and arc flash labels for senior review.
• Participate in internal training on power system fundamentals, study methodology, and electrical safety.

Benefits

• Competitive salary ($70k-$85k) and benefits including health insurance, 401(k), and paid time off.
• Full licensure support: FE and PE exam fees, prep materials, and study time.
• A defined growth path from engineer to project ownership, with mentorship from licensed PEs.
• Variety most firms cannot offer: studies, design, and field work across national clients and industries.
