We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Oversight Electrical Engineer to oversee engineering and design aspects of utility‑scale solar and wind projects in the USA and Canada. The successful candidate will review and manage EPC contractor’s engineering packages (IFR and IFC) and ensure compliance with project requirements, industry standards, and interconnection regulations. Additionally, this role evaluates high‑voltage (HV) substation and PV/Wind plant designs, oversees interconnection studies, and provides technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle. Lead the review of EPC contractor's engineering and design packages (IFR and IFC) for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable codes (NEC, NESC, IEEE, NFPA, etc.), provide technical feedback and coordinate design refinements with EPCs and stakeholders. Assess HV substation and PV plant electrical designs, including substation general arrangements, one‑line diagrams, grounding, protection schemes, and relay coordination studies. Evaluate design risks and recommend cost‑effective engineering solutions. Collaborate with EPC teams to ensure comprehensive documentation is submitted to regulatory bodies (e.g., work closely with regulatory teams to ensure all electrical interconnection implementations meet local, state, and federal regulations. Accountable for the preparation and detailed engineering construction drawings within assigned area, ensuring effective and functional designs, and adequate information to enable cost‑effective construction of Solar/Wind facilities. Ensure design compliance with project procedures, design standards (including providing recommendations for improvements), regulatory, environmental, health and safety requirements. Participate in design review meetings to ensure consistency in scope, design, and expected performance; Lead the specification and requisition of materials by reviewing vendor materials quotations, performing technical bid evaluations, and providing recommendations based on technical merit.

Provide technical support during all project phases, including project development, detailed design, construction, commissioning, and close‑out. Provide technical guidance during construction, addressing engineering‑related RFIs and field modifications. Support commissioning and testing of HV substations and PV/Wind plant electrical systems, and protection systems. Participate and witness factory acceptance tests (FATs) and site acceptance tests (SATs) for major electrical equipment as required. Support the development of project scope, schedule, capital cost estimate, execution planning, risks, and supporting information related to assigned facility projects during the project development phase. Responsible for the successful operations of the assigned area with significant corporate financial impact. Oversees development and/or implementation of technical solutions, ensuring efficient coordination of technical resources and with other internal and external stakeholders. 10–15 years of experience in electrical engineering system design and commissioning activities, including at least 5 years in oil & gas and a minimum of 3 years in renewable energy projects (solar, wind, HV substations, BESS, and grid interconnection). Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. In-depth knowledge of HV substations (34.5 kV – 345 kV), PV or wind plant electrical systems, power system analysis, and protection & control schemes. Role requires a valid driver’s license, which will be verified with a motor vehicle check prior to hire. Experience with cable heating, AC/DC cable losses, transient recovery voltage (TRV), insulation coordination, grounding, load flow, short circuit, and transformer energization studies.
