Electrical Design Engineer in United States

Our client is looking for Electrical Design Engineers play a vital role in shaping the energy systems that power hospitals, industry and communities across the US and beyond. From early concept through to installation and commissioning, you’ll be closely involved in designing reliable, low‑carbon power generation solutions that genuinely make a difference.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving real‑world problems, collaborating across disciplines and seeing their designs come to life on site. You’ll work within a supportive, knowledgeable engineering team where quality, safety and continuous improvement are taken seriously – but people always come first.

Designing resilient, real‑world power systems

You’ll take conceptual electrical designs and develop them into fully engineered solutions that meet contractual, technical and regulatory requirements. This will include producing specifications, calculations, equipment selection and detailed design documentation for a wide range of technologies including gas‑powered generation, CHP, battery energy storage systems (BESS), hydrogen, solar, wind and microgrids.

Supporting projects from start to finish

Your input will be valued right from the sales stage, where you’ll support tender designs and technical submissions, through to installation, commissioning and testing. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, providing timely technical documentation and practical engineering support when it matters most. Seeing your designs transition from drawings to installed systems is a key part of this role.

Collaborating across disciplines

You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with Mechanical Design Engineers, CAD technicians and wider project teams to develop integrated design solutions. You’ll coordinate design activity, contribute to HAZOPs and risk assessments, and help ensure that design outputs are delivered to agreed timescales and quality standards.

About you

You’re an engineer who takes pride in producing high‑quality work and enjoys responsibility for your own designs. You’re comfortable balancing technical detail with broader project needs, and you communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical colleagues.

You’ll likely bring:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering
• Experience in power generation or a closely related industry
• Knowledge of LV and MV electrical systems, power trains and associated control and instrumentation
• Experience using power system analysis software and AutoCAD (or similar)
• A proactive, dependable and collaborative approach to work
• Professional registration, CHP or HV substation experience, ETAP knowledge and NERS familiarity are all welcome but not essential.
