Design the Electrical Backbone of Next-Generation Power Facilities
This is a long-term, career-building opportunity for an experienced electrical design professional with a passion for power generation infrastructure. You'll play a lead role in delivering high-quality electrical designs for some of the most complex and forward-looking power generation projects in North America-supporting technologies that address today's energy needs and tomorrow's challenges.
Working in a highly collaborative environment, you'll partner with engineers, designers, and project managers across disciplines to produce constructible, data-driven 2D and 3D deliverables that directly support safe, reliable, and efficient power generation facilities.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Long-term stability: Join a firm known for decades-long client relationships, consistent project backlog, and enduring presence in the power industry
Industry leadership: Work on marquee power generation projects across utility, advanced generation, and critical infrastructure markets
Employee-centered culture: A people-first environment where tenure, technical expertise, and career growth are truly valued
Advanced digital design tools: Robust investment in Bentley MicroStation, BIM, 3D modeling, and data-centric workflows
Technical leadership path: Opportunity to lead design efforts, mentor others, and influence standards and best practices
Complex, meaningful work: Facilities that demand precision-duct banks, grounding systems, lighting, cable routing, and equipment modeling at scale
What You'll Do
As a Lead Electrical Engineering Technician, you'll serve as a technical contributor and design leader within Advanced Power Generation projects.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and coordinate electrical design efforts for power generation facilities
Develop and review 2D and 3D electrical deliverables, including:
Duct bank design
Cable tray and routing layouts
Grounding systems
Lighting systems (interior/exterior)

Apply advanced electrical design knowledge to solve complex technical challenges
Ensure deliverables meet quality, schedule, and budget expectations
Use Bentley MicroStation and related Bentley tools to create and maintain design documentation
Support lighting calculations and illumination modeling (AGI32 experience preferred)
Collaborate across disciplines and departments to align design intent with construction needs
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to technicians and support staff
Support project execution with awareness of budgets, schedules, and client priorities
What We're Looking ForRequired Qualifications
Associate degree in Drafting or Engineering Design Technology
15+ years of relevant electrical design experience
Power generation industry experience (required)
Strong experience with:
Bentley MicroStation
3D modeling of electrical equipment
Duct bank, cable tray, grounding, and lighting system design
Ability to work onsite at one of the listed office locations
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in an Engineering Design-related field
Experience with AGI32 for lighting analysis (preferred, not required)
Lead or supervisory experience guiding other designers or technicians
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is ideal for a seasoned electrical design professional who:
Wants to stay technical while stepping into a leadership role
Values long-term employment over short-term contract work
Enjoys collaborating on complex power generation projects
Takes pride in high-quality, constructible design deliverables
If you're ready to bring your power generation design expertise to a firm that invests in its people, tools, and future-and where your work directly supports critical energy infrastructure-this role offers a rare combination of technical challenge, stability, and professional respect.
