We’re hiring Electrical Engineers to join a growing engineering firm in Lisle, IL. We are looking for both senior high voltage engineers and low and medium voltage engineers who want to work across capital projects, maintenance and reliability, and field support in refinery and industrial environments.
 

This direct-hire role is a strong fit for engineers coming from larger firms who want a broader range of projects and more responsibility. Engineers earlier in their careers will have the chance to build industrial power experience while working toward a P.E.

What’s the job?

• Design or review electrical distribution systems and substation specifications for industrial and refinery projects
• Specify equipment and provide calculations or settings for transformers, motors, UPS systems, protective relays, and related equipment
• Perform or review power system studies, including protective device coordination and arc flash, and keep the SKM model current
• Support field troubleshooting and provide technical support to maintenance, operations, and technicians during unplanned events
• Scope turnaround work early and oversee installation of maintenance projects
• Review design packages from outside engineering firms and guide them on client standards
• Keep one-line diagrams, motor schematics, and relay and substation documentation current as systems change
• Senior level: mentor engineers and designers, develop and update electrical standards, and help train field teams on new equipment and technology

What’s needed?

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
• Senior High Voltage: active P.E. license and 10+ years of related experience
• Senior High Voltage: experience with distribution equipment, substations, protection, and power system studies; experience with substations up to 138 kV preferred
• Low and Medium Voltage: hands-on experience with low and medium voltage systems; EITs will be considered
• Experience with SKM or other power system study tools
• Industrial electrical power design experience in capital projects, maintenance and reliability, or field support
• Ability to work with project, maintenance, and operations teams to resolve electrical issues in operating facilities
• Willingness to meet client site requirements, which may include site access, PPE, and drug testing
• Refinery experience supporting an operating facility preferred

Key Details

• Compensation: $140,000–$160,000
• Location: Lisle, IL
• Work Model: Hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote)
• Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Employment Type: Direct Hire
• $2,500 annual training budget, plus coverage of paperwork costs for licensure in other states
• Variety and ownership across design, equipment specification, field troubleshooting, and project execution
• Growth driven by client demand, with the team also pursuing data center and other markets

If you’re an Electrical Engineer looking for more variety, ownership, and room to grow with a team that has more work than it can handle, apply today!
