The Opportunity

An established engineering and electrical infrastructure organisation is looking for a Senior Electrical Integration Engineer to support the design, integration and commissioning of complex electrical power systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for a US-licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with strong experience in electrical power systems, switchgear controls, protective relays and industrial automation.

You will act as a key technical resource across major projects, helping resolve complex engineering challenges and ensuring electrical equipment and control systems operate safely, reliably and as designed.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and develop control systems for switchgear and interconnected electrical equipment.
• Develop site-wide Sequences of Operation (SOO) for complex power systems.
• Coordinate with equipment vendors, review technical submittals and participate in factory witness testing.
• Design safety-related mechanical, electrical and electromechanical interlock systems.
• Develop automation systems using PLCs and RTAC-style industrial controllers.
• Implement load management, overload prevention, generator load curtailment and load-shedding schemes.
• Develop generator start-up, load control and selective load-pickup strategies.
• Configure and develop protective relay settings and logic using platforms such as SEL, ABB and Siemens.
• Design protection and control logic using IEC 61850-based systems.
• Analyse power system failures, electrical events and sequence-of-events (SOE) data.
• Provide technical support during project execution, equipment start-up and commissioning.
• Work closely with project managers, quality control teams, site superintendents and vendors to resolve technical issues.

What They're Looking For

• Active US Professional Engineer (PE) licence - essential.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 8+ years of electrical power systems engineering design experience.
• Strong understanding of electrical power systems, including generators, transformers, motors, switchgear, protective relays and UPS systems.
• Experience with industrial automation and control systems using PLCs or RTACs.
• Knowledge of protective relay configuration, control logic and power system protection.
• Familiarity with IEC 61850-based protection and control systems.
• Ability to investigate power system failures and analyse electrical events.
• Strong technical problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively with engineering, project and site teams.
• Willingness to travel up to 50%, in addition to local site visits.

What's On Offer?

• Employee ownership opportunities.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Annual performance-based bonus programme.
• 17 days of paid time off plus 10 paid holidays.
• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
