• 3–5 years of progressive electrical engineering experience supporting power and control systems in the oil & gas, petrochemical, or heavy industrial industries
• Experience developing PLC, DCS, and HMI control logic using platforms such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Yokogawa
• Strong understanding of low- and medium-voltage power distribution, grounding systems, and protective relaying
• Working knowledge of NEC, API Recommended Practices, and other applicable industry standards

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with hazardous area electrical design and installation (Class I, Division 1 & 2)
• Familiarity with functional safety standards such as IEC 61511

Benefits

• Join a team working on challenging industrial power and controls projects from concept through commissioning
• Gain exposure to a variety of engineering disciplines and field activities
• Collaborate with experienced professionals in a safety-focused environment
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on critical infrastructure projects

Schedule

On-site (Monday–Friday) with approximately 10% travel.

Additional Requirements

• Reference check required
• Background screening required
