Job description

Our employee-owned, multi-disciplined team of engineering and design professionals is looking for a Senior Professional Electrical Engineer with 10–15 years of experience to join our Facilities Engineering team in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You'll work alongside Architectural, Civil, Mechanical, and Structural professionals on a wide range of industrial, municipal, water/wastewater, and facility projects.

In this role, you'll scope and lead the electrical engineering side of projects, developing site plans, power, signal and lighting plans, equipment layouts, one-lines, power distribution systems, and assessments and reports. Projects may include electrical systems supporting industrial and process equipment, pumping systems, treatment facilities, emergency and standby power, and other complex facility loads.

You'll also support projects through construction, interpreting plans, observing construction, and confirming work conforms to plans and specifications. As an experienced member of the team, you'll provide technical leadership and mentorship to less experienced engineers and designers.

You'll lead engineering and design teams, owning the technical, quality, financial, and safety aspects of projects from concept through construction. With our "Seller-Doer" approach, you'll also partner with electrical group management and the VP of Facilities Engineering Services on proposal development, client relationships, opportunity tracking, and client presentations.

Flexible work arrangement: 3 days in office (Tuesday through Thursday), 2 days WFH (Monday and Friday)

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration with the ability to obtain registration in Wisconsin.
  • 10+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience involving industrial, facility, utility, or process electrical systems.
  • Strong experience with electrical power distribution systems, including 480V and medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, switchboards, transformers, motor control centers, motors, and VFDs.
  • Experience designing electrical systems supporting industrial or process equipment. Experience with water/wastewater facilities, treatment plants, pump or lift stations, wells, or similar process facilities is highly desirable.
  • Experience with standby generation, automatic transfer, and emergency power systems.
  • Experience with power-system studies including short-circuit, protective-device coordination, arc-flash, and load studies.
  • Experience leading electrical or multidisciplinary projects and coordinating designs with other engineering disciplines.
  • Strong communication skills with experience preparing specifications and reports and working directly with clients.
  • Ability to travel up to 15% for meetings, consultations, and site inspections, including occasional overnight travel.

Advantageous qualifications:

  • Water/wastewater electrical design experience, particularly involving treatment facilities, pumping systems, or other process-driven environments.
  • Experience with medium-voltage distribution systems, including 13.8kV systems.
  • Familiarity with hazardous/classified locations and NFPA 820.
  • Experience with SKM PowerTools or ETAP.
  • Working knowledge of PLC/SCADA-based process control systems and the interface between electrical power and controls.
  • Experience coordinating PLC/control panels, instrumentation, VFD controls, field devices, P&IDs, or control schematics with controls and process engineers.
  • Experience responding to RFPs, developing scopes and fees, and supporting business development.
  • Experience mentoring less experienced engineers and designers.
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, and/or Revit.
