Sr. Director Engineering

Job Description

This is a hands-on, technical leadership role, not a people management position. You’ll operate as a subject matter expert in industrial power systems, shaping complex designs, guiding project teams, and partnering directly with customers on mission-critical solutions.

• Lead end-to-end electrical system design for industrial and mission-critical projects
• Own system architecture across MV/LV distribution, substations, and backup power systems
• Act as the technical authority on complex, high-value projects
• Develop and review:
• Single line diagrams
• Protection and coordination studies
• Schematics and equipment layouts

Partner directly with customers to define robust, scalable power solutions

• Provide technical leadership across multiple concurrent projects (often 10–15+)
• Mentor engineers and elevate technical capability across the team

Qualifications

• 15–20+ years in electrical engineering
• PE license highly preferred
• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (Master’s in Physics or Math related highly desirable)
• Deep expertise in industrial power systems (“big wires”)
• Strong experience with:
• MV/LV distribution
• Substations, switchgear, transformers
• Generators and UPS systems
• Protection & coordination (SEL relays preferred)

• Background in industrial, utility, data center, or large infrastructure projects
• Experience with industrial engineering firms

You may currently be a:

• Principal / Lead Engineer at an engineering firm working on large industrial projects
• Senior engineer ready to step into a technical authority role
• Power systems specialist in an industrial EPC, utility, or mission-critical environment
