Sr. Electrical Engineer

What You'll Be Doing

We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong industrial experience to support the design and execution of complex engineering projects. In this role, you'll lead and perform electrical engineering activities from conceptual design through detailed engineering, construction, and startup support.

You'll work closely with multidisciplinary project teams, provide technical guidance to designers and less experienced engineers, and have opportunities to serve as the electrical discipline lead on small to mid-sized projects.
