Power System Studies Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Power System Studies Engineer based in the United States.

The Power System Studies Engineer will play a key role in delivering reliable, safe, and efficient electrical power solutions for data centers and other mission-critical facilities. This position involves conducting complex power system analyses, optimizing protective devices, and ensuring compliance with applicable engineering codes and industry standards. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and major clients to address demanding technical challenges in high-availability environments. The role also offers opportunities to mentor junior engineers, strengthen engineering practices, and contribute to the growth of a dynamic technical team. Candidates will work in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment where technical excellence, innovation, and client relationships are essential. This opportunity is well suited to engineers who combine strong analytical expertise with leadership potential and a passion for mission-critical electrical infrastructure.

• Perform and oversee power system studies, including short-circuit calculations, medium- and low-voltage protective device coordination, and arc flash analyses.

• Evaluate and optimize protective relay and circuit breaker settings in accordance with NFPA, IEEE 1584, ANSI, and other relevant industry standards.

• Develop, update, and validate electrical power system models to accurately represent design documentation and as-built site conditions.

• Establish and implement consistent standards and procedures for power system studies and calculations across teams and office locations.

• Conduct on-site data collection as required, documenting protective devices and settings, verifying electrical equipment information, and developing or validating single-line diagrams.

• Prepare accurate engineering deliverables, including drawings, calculations, technical analyses, evaluations, sketches, and instructions, in compliance with applicable codes and regulations.

• Perform quality assurance and quality control reviews of engineering work completed by other team members.

• Coordinate with internal teams, clients, and external stakeholders to gather technical information, resolve project challenges, and develop effective engineering solutions.

• Maintain current knowledge of electrical codes, safety practices, industry standards, and power system analysis techniques relevant to data center and mission-critical facilities.

• Mentor and support less experienced engineers, encourage technical development, build strong client relationships, and contribute to short- and long-term business objectives.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited university.

• At least 3 years of experience conducting power system studies for mid-level positions, or typically 6 or more years for senior-level positions.

• Hands-on experience with electrical modeling and analysis software such as SKM Power Tools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent platforms.

• Knowledge of electrical codes, standards, and design criteria relevant to power systems and data centers, including NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, and ANSI standards.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license or the ability to obtain one within two years of employment. An incentive bonus may be available for obtaining the license.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word and Excel.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with excellent attention to technical detail.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts and collaborate with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

• Leadership capabilities, including the ability to mentor, motivate, and develop junior engineers while fostering a strong engineering culture.

• A client-focused, entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to identify client needs, build lasting relationships, and recognize opportunities for business growth.

• Willingness and ability to travel approximately 10%–20%, with assignments ranging from several days to several weeks depending on project and client requirements.

• Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship.

• Ability to meet applicable pre-employment and ongoing screening requirements, including drug and alcohol screening, background checks, and periodic motor vehicle record reviews.

Benefits:

• Annual salary: Estimated range of $84,000–$160,800, depending on relevant skills, experience, geographic location, and internal equity.

• Professional development: Opportunities to strengthen technical expertise, develop leadership skills, and mentor early-career engineers.

• PE licensure incentive: An incentive bonus may be available for obtaining a Professional Engineer license.

• Work flexibility: Remote work may be available from eligible U.S. locations, with office-based opportunities in select locations.

• Technical variety: Exposure to large-scale data center and mission-critical projects for clients with demanding reliability and availability requirements.

• Career growth: Opportunities to contribute to an expanding engineering team, improve technical standards, and support business development.

• Additional benefits: Other employee benefits may be available; specific healthcare, retirement, paid leave, and additional benefit details were not provided in the job listing.
