About the Role

We are looking for a number of electrical engineers, at all levels for a client in Charlotte who have a huge program of work at the moment. They have a huge backlog of work, enough EPC projects for at least 4 years and electrical work for at least 6 - even without any more project wins.

As a result we are looking for candidates who would like to get involved in these projects, long term - and we can offer relocation packages to candidates who would consider relocating to Charlotte from elsewhere in the USA

This role supports a strong and growing portfolio of combined cycle facilities for leading utility and power generation clients offering both long-term project stability and exposure to technically challenging, high-visibility work. You'll lead engineering decisions, mentor teams, and directly influence project outcomes in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

What You'll Do

• Lead electrical engineering efforts for combined cycle power generation projects from conceptual design through commissioning and startup
• Establish and manage electrical design criteria, standards, and philosophies for power plant facilities
• Oversee and review electrical system designs, including generator and auxiliary systems, medium- and high-voltage power distribution, protection and control systems, grounding, lighting, and raceway systems, and I&C interfaces
• Provide technical direction and oversight to electrical engineers and designers assigned to projects
• Review and approve calculations, drawings, specifications, and technical deliverables for quality and compliance
• Coordinate electrical engineering activities with mechanical, civil, structural, I&C, construction, and commissioning teams
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards, including NEC, IEEE, ANSI, NEMA, and utility/owner requirements
• Develop and support engineering cost estimates, material quantities, and execution plans
• Lead technical aspects of major electrical equipment procurement, including vendor evaluations and technical reviews
• Participate in constructability reviews, hazard analyses, and formal design reviews
• Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, and startup, including site visits as needed
• Interface directly with clients, project management, and internal leadership on technical scope, risks, and progress
• Mentor and support the development of junior and mid-level engineers

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field from an accredited institution
• 5-15 years or more of electrical engineering experience in power generation, with significant experience on combined cycle power plants
• Experience serving in a senior or principal engineering role on EPC or utility-scale power projects
• Strong knowledge of electrical power systems and applicable codes and standards, including NEC, IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA
• Experience supporting projects through all phases - design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup
• Professional Engineer (PE) license is ideal
• Deep technical experience with combined cycle electrical systems (generators, auxiliary power, MV/HV distribution, protection and control) preferred
• Prior experience leading or mentoring engineering teams on complex projects preferred
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with clients, project managers, vendors, and multidisciplinary teams
• Vacancy
