Minimum 5+ years of electrical engineering experience (7–10 years preferred)
At least 4 years of experience supporting brownfield or retrofit projects
Experience in oil & gas facilities and industrial environments
Strong background in low and medium voltage systems
Ability to read, review, and mark up full engineering packages
Proficiency with Bluebeam preferred
Experience with AutoCAD and related engineering tools
Strong communication skills and collaborative working style
Willingness to travel and work office-based
Ability to pass drug & alcohol testing and provide a satisfactory driver’s abstract
Preferred Experience
Exposure to control system design
Familiarity with power systems software
Working knowledge of arc flash and fugitive emissions studies
Experience with process-related software environments
Why Join
Technically challenging, high-impact infrastructure projects
