Geosyntec is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer

About the Role

Join a team of technical professionals focused on advancing electrical engineering solutions in the water, wastewater, and industrial sectors. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will lead the design and implementation of complex electrical systems, ensuring compliance with NFPA, IEEE, and NESC standards. Your work will directly impact critical infrastructure projects, from power distribution and motor control to automation integration and system safety.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead electrical design efforts, including load flow, short circuit, and coordination studies using tools like ETAP or SKM
  • Develop detailed technical documentation such as single-line diagrams, schematics, grounding plans, and hazardous area classifications
  • Collaborate with process and controls engineers to integrate electrical systems into full-scale project designs
  • Perform site assessments and support construction oversight to ensure accurate implementation
  • Manage project scope, schedule, and budget for electrical components of engineering assignments
  • Estimate engineering, material, and construction costs for proposals and client engagements
  • Review P&IDs and develop equipment specifications for motors, drives, and power systems
  • Support business development by building client relationships and identifying new opportunities
  • Recruit, train, and mentor junior engineers and designers
  • Ensure adherence to electrical safety standards, including arc flash and grounding practices
  • Travel to project sites and client facilities as needed, using company or personal vehicle for business purposes

Qualifications

Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited institution and bring at least 8 years of progressive experience in electrical design for process or industrial projects. Direct experience in water or wastewater treatment facilities is essential. You should have working knowledge of NFPA, IEEE, and federal and state regulations, with proven ability to manage multiple assignments in a fast-paced consulting environment.

Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensure is strongly preferred. Additional qualifications include experience with arc flash and electrical safety studies, OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training, and familiarity with industrial automation systems. Proficiency in electrical modeling software and the ability to interpret complex technical drawings are required.

Work Environment

This role supports a hybrid work model, with office locations across the U.S. and potential for remote work based on project needs and company discretion. You must have a valid U.S. driver’s license and be eligible to work on federal projects, which requires U.S. citizenship.

Compensation and Benefits

The position offers competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and well-being programs designed to support both professional and personal health. You’ll be part of a culture that values technical excellence, collaboration, and long-term development—both for projects and people.
