The Nowak Group
Looking for a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer, supporting our mission to deliver safe, reliable, and efficient power system solutions. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in electrical power systems, with expertise in interpreting and designing various electrical diagrams, creating relay settings, programming protective devices, and performing dynamic modeling.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on generation, industrial, and transmission projects, with a preference for candidates holding a Professional Engineer (PE) license and advanced degrees in Electrical Engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain awareness of industry standards such as NERC, IEEE, and NEC, ensuring all designs adhere to regulatory requirements. Develop and maintain a NERC compliance program for customer based on each family of standards. Ability to develop all plans for PRC-005, 019 and 027. Develop, validate, and analyze dynamic models of power system components using PSSE and/or PSLF software for ISO and NERC MOD. Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and coordinate with clients, vendors, and field personnel. Interpret and analyze single line diagrams, three-line diagrams, schematics, and wiring diagrams for power systems. Design and develop relay protection and control schemes using devices from SEL, GE, ABB, and other manufacturers. Create and validate protective relay settings for generation, industrial, and transmission projects, ensuring compliance with industry standards and client specifications. Provide senior review of relay coordination studies, arc-flash analysis, and system modeling to optimize system protection and reliability. Support commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting of electrical systems and protective devices in the field. Collaborate with project teams to develop system documentation, including settings calculations, schematics, and operational procedures. Interpret simulation results to recommend system improvements and protective settings adjustments. Program and configure RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) for automation and control applications. Requirements
Qualifications & Skills
Education : Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (minimum), Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred) Licensing : Professional Engineer (PE) license is highly preferred, especially in applicable states. Experience : 5+ years in electrical power systems, including generation, industrial, and transmission projects. Proven ability to interpret electrical diagrams (single line, three line, schematics). Hands-on experience creating relay settings and performing coordination studies. Experience programming relay protection devices (SEL, GE, ABB, etc.).
