Senior Electrical Engineer - Power Systems Studies
Location: Philadelphia, PA Full-Time On-Site
Summary:
Our client is a fast-growing engineering firm focused on delivering real-world solutions for power systems across commercial, utility, and mission-critical environments. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Electrical Engineer who's ready to move beyond repetitive design work and into a role that combines advanced analysis, field collaboration, and continuous professional growth.
You'll work closely with a team of engineers and field technicians, helping to solve complex electrical challenges in the real world - not just from behind a desk. Whether you're diving into short-circuit studies, relaying analysis, or supporting start-up and commissioning efforts, this role is designed for someone who wants to stay hands-on and make a direct impact on the safety, reliability, and performance of power systems.
What You'll Do:
- Perform electrical engineering studies under the guidance of a licensed Professional Engineer (PE)
- Execute and lead studies including short-circuit, coordination, arc-flash, grounding, and power factor correction
- Provide technical insight and recommendations for relay protection, power quality, and harmonic analysis
- Collaborate directly with customers to gather system data, review plans, and deliver solutions tailored to their infrastructure
- Use power system modeling tools (e.g., SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, ASPEN) to conduct analysis and generate reports
- Occasionally assist with field work related to system start-ups, maintenance, and commissioning
- Interpret and design protection schemes and control systems for industrial and utility-grade facilities
You're an electrical engineer with a strong foundation in power systems and an interest in both analytical work and real-world applications. You thrive in collaborative environments, bring curiosity to your projects, and enjoy the satisfaction of helping clients solve technical problems. If you've passed the FE exam (or are on your way to a PE license) and want to grow beyond traditional engineering roles, you'll fit in well here.
