Electrical Power Engineer

Lake Superior Consulting is seeking an Electrical Power Engineer to join our growing team! This is a power-focused engineering role: you will design, analyze, and upgrade medium- and low-voltage power distribution and generation systems for industrial energy clients.

What You Will Do

Typical assignments include industrial facility electrical upgrades, switchgear and motor control center replacements, transformer and generator additions, protection and coordination studies, grounding system design, and generation facility interconnections.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will serve as the electrical lead on moderate to large projects, set the technical direction of the electrical scope, and mentor less experienced engineers and designers.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience designing or modifying medium-voltage (1 kV to 38 kV) and low-voltage power distribution systems.
• Hands-on modeling and study experience in SKM Power*Tools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent — including building models from field data and interpreting and defending the results.
• Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70E, and the IEEE standards applicable to industrial power systems (IEEE 1584, the IEEE 3000 / Color Book series, IEEE 80, and the C37 and C57 series).
• Ability to read and interpret one-line diagrams, protection and control schematics, relay logic, and vendor drawings, and to identify errors and omissions in them.
• Strong technical writing skills, with the ability to produce clear study reports, field reports, and specifications for both technical and client audiences.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities against project schedules.
• Willingness and ability to travel to project sites for field investigations and construction support (approximately 10%).
