Job Description

Electrical Engineer – Power Engineering
Grand Rapids, MI | Direct Hire

We are working with an established engineering organization in the Grand Rapids area that is looking to add an Electrical Engineer with an interest in power engineering.

This is an excellent opportunity for either an early-level Electrical Engineer or someone with a few years of experience who wants to build a career in power distribution, power studies, arc-flash analysis, and electrical system design.

The company is particularly interested in someone who wants to continue developing technically, obtain their Professional Engineer (PE) license, and eventually take on increasing responsibility for projects and customer relationships.
Responsibilities:
  • Perform and assist with electrical power studies for commercial and industrial facilities.
  • Complete engineering analysis involving:
    • Short-circuit calculations.
    • Arc-flash studies
    • Protective-device coordination
    • Load-flow and voltage-drop analysis
    • Motor-starting studies
    • Harmonics and power-quality analysis
  • Develop electrical power distribution designs and engineering documentation.
  • Prepare and review:
    • One-line diagrams.
    • Electrical riser diagrams.
    • Panel schedules.
    • Load calculations.
    • Protective-device settings.
  • Collect electrical system information through field investigations and site visits.
  • Analyze field data and power-quality measurements.
  • Prepare technical engineering reports and project documentation.
  • Review drawings, specifications, calculations, and other engineering information for accuracy.
  • Work with Project Managers and other Engineers to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
  • Participate in meetings with customers, contractors, Engineers, and internal project teams.
  • Assist customers with power system design, installation, startup, troubleshooting, maintenance, and equipment applications.
  • Support technical proposals, project scopes, and preliminary pricing.
  • Participate in customer presentations and technical training.
  • As experience develops, independently manage smaller power studies and engineering projects.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, preferably from an ABET-accredited engineering program.
  • Strong interest in electrical power, power distribution, or electrical construction.
  • Coursework, internship experience, or professional experience involving power engineering is preferred.
  • Interest in obtaining FE/EIT certification and eventually a Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Experience with SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, ETAP, or similar power-analysis software is beneficial but not required for the right entry-level candidate.
  • Exposure to arc-flash analysis, short-circuit studies, protective-device coordination, or electrical distribution systems is a plus.
  • Familiarity with the NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE standards, and electrical safety practices is beneficial.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with Engineers, Project Managers, field personnel, contractors, and customers.

Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company matching.
  • Paid vacation, holidays, and personal time.
  • Bonus opportunities.
  • Flexible scheduling.
  • Opportunities for professional development and advancement.
  • Support for continued engineering development and pursuit of FE/EIT and PE licensure.
  • Additional company benefits.

Opportunity:
This position offers an excellent opportunity to develop specialized expertise in power engineering while working alongside experienced Engineers. The company is willing to consider a strong entry-level Electrical Engineer with the right educational background, interest in power engineering, and desire to pursue professional licensure.
