Senior Power Engineer

Requirements

• Serve as the electrical technical lead on major capital projects.
• Own specifications, design, and analysis of electrical systems for power generation and surface facilities (power delivery, systems, transmission, distribution, substations, etc.).
• Lead the electrical design of transmission and substation systems from 13.8 kV through 500 kV: Station service power distribution; One-line diagrams; Protection and control drawings; AC/DC schematics; Equipment layouts; Gen-tie transmission lines.
• Drive first-principles tradeoff analysis across power delivery systems to optimize plant performance.
• Identify opportunities to simplify and accelerate designs while maintaining technical excellence.
• Inform and support procurement efforts relating to electrical scopes of power plant designs: Generator Step-Up (GSU) Transformers; Unit Auxiliary Transformers (UAT); Station Service Transformers (SST); HV and MV Substations; Generator circuit breakers (GCB); High-voltage breakers (AIS & GIS); Disconnect switches; Buswork; Reactive power equipment; Metering equipment; Station batteries and DC systems.
• Familiar with relevant codes, standards, and industry best practices.
• Ability to think critically about when and how to apply or modify best practices to meet bottom line objectives.
• Support Fervo’s interconnection team as needed.

Team and Culture

• Recruit, coach, and develop a world-class team of electrical engineers.
• Instill a culture of extreme ownership — where engineers own cost, safety, and constructability, not just design.
• Encourage rapid iteration, bias for speed, and resilience under pressure.
• Foster collaboration across disciplines (process, electrical, reservoir, drilling) and with external partners.
