Electrical Engineer

Summary:

• Duration: 24 Months
• Location: UT Eagle Mountain (UT518)

Responsibilities:

• Provide electrical engineering support across commissioning, startup, and system turnover phases.
• Lead and support electrical commissioning activities, including testing, verification, and troubleshooting of switchgear, transformers, generators, and associated systems.
• Validate power system studies (short circuit, coordination, arc flash) and ensure alignment with as-built conditions prior to energization.
• Execute and oversee electrical testing activities (e.g., insulation resistance, hi-pot, relay testing, functional verification).
• Support pre-commissioning activities, including loop checks, calibration, and protection system verification.
• Coordinate and participate in FAT, SAT, PSSR, and RFSU processes to ensure systems meet requirements for startup and turnover.
• Collaborate with Project Management, Construction, Commissioning, Controls, and Operations teams to ensure aligned execution and system readiness.
• Work directly in the field to support testing, troubleshooting, and issue resolution during commissioning and startup.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and company safety requirements.
• Support BESS and power generation system integration, including system-level testing and performance validation.
• Develop and maintain commissioning documentation, including ITRs, test records, redlines, and turnover packages.
• Identify, track, and drive resolution of punch list items prior to system handover.
• Coordinate with vendors to support installation, testing, and commissioning activities.
• Promote continuous improvement and support development of standardized commissioning processes and tools.
• Mentor and support development of junior engineers.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited) or Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology with a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.
• Minimum 4 years of experience in electrical engineering, power systems, or commissioning in power generation, industrial, or related industries.
• Working knowledge of electrical power systems and equipment (switchgear, transformers, generators).
• Proficiency with electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, and control systems.
• Experience with commissioning, testing, and startup processes.

Preferred Skills:

• Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or actively pursuing.
• Experience with power generation, data centers, or BESS systems.
• Experience supporting or leading commissioning and startup activities.
• Familiarity with FAT/SAT execution and turnover processes.
• Proficiency with power system analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM, PSCAD, MATLAB, or similar).
• Experience with protection relay testing and electrical test equipment (e.g., Omicron, Doble, Megger).
• Understanding of protection coordination and arc flash analysis, grid integration and energy storage systems, DCS/SCADA systems, and electrical integration.

Work Environment:

• Field-based role supporting active construction, commissioning, and startup environments.
• Requires the ability to work in industrial settings and follow all required safety protocols.
