What We’re Looking For

• ~12–15 years of substation physical engineering experience
• Deep enough expertise to handle or teach nearly any physical engineering scope the team takes on

• Leadership or supervisory experience preferred; strong candidates with supervisor‑level readiness and demonstrated people‑leadership potential are also encouraged to apply
• Electrical engineering background strongly preferred
• Comfortable contributing to proposals, estimates, and bid support

Nice to Have
