Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer (EPC) — Design the Grid Behind the Energy Transition
McCarran, NV | Full-Time | $150,000 – $190,000
The Opportunity
How often do you get to design transmission-level infrastructure from a blank sheet? Our client — a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator building some of the largest industrial facilities in the country — needs a Staff High Voltage Electrical Engineer to lead the design of substations and high voltage systems that will power the U.S. energy transition. You'll serve as Engineer of Record on 69kV–345kV projects and own your design packages from concept through commissioning.
Why This Role Stands Out
Transmission-scale work: Industrial substations from 69kV to 345kV, plus grid integration for renewables and battery energy storage
Real authority: Engineer of Record with independent ownership of design packages
No state income tax: Nevada keeps more of that salary in your pocket
Mission that matters: Your infrastructure directly enables domestic clean energy production
What You'll Do
Lead design of high voltage AC systems — industrial substations (69kV–345kV) and their integration with transmission lines and MV distribution
Develop single-line diagrams, physical layouts, protection and control, relay design and coordination, and grounding plans
Run grid simulation and stability studies (PSSE, PSLF, PSCAD, ASPEN OneLiner) plus short circuit, load flow, and arc flash studies
Interface with utilities and ISO/RTOs on interconnection, permitting, and compliance for renewable and BESS projects
