Job Description

About the Company
This is a small engineering and design firm with the backing of a much larger parent.

- Coordinate with civil, electrical, and protection and control disciplines, as well as procurement and construction groups
- Mentor and guide junior engineers and designers
- Support construction with RFIs, submittal reviews and field questions
- Help establish structural design standards and best practices as the team grows
Required Qualifications
- Professional Engineer (PE) license, active and in good standing, with the ability to stamp structural work
- Substation structural design experience, including steel structures, foundations and equipment supports
- Experience leading designs and owning projects from start to finish
