About the Role

We are seeking a Distribution Engineer to support electric utility distribution projects, including system planning, design, equipment sizing, and engineering analysis for distribution networks. The engineer will work on projects involving medium-voltage distribution systems, substations, feeders, transformers, overhead and underground systems, and distributed energy resources (DER).

Responsibilities

• Design and engineer electric distribution systems, typically 4kV–35kV
• Perform load flow, short-circuit, voltage drop, and system capacity studies
• Develop distribution system designs, one-lines, schematics, and engineering drawings
• Analyze feeders, transformers, switchgear, reclosers, regulators, capacitors, and other distribution equipment
• Perform equipment sizing and engineering calculations
• Evaluate system reliability, load growth, and capacity requirements
• Support distribution automation and DER/interconnection projects
• Review engineering drawings, specifications, and construction packages
• Coordinate with field engineers, construction teams, utilities, and other engineering disciplines
• Support project execution from initial design through construction and commissioning
• Ensure designs comply with applicable utility standards, NESC, IEEE, and other relevant requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline
• 3+ years of electrical/distribution engineering experience
• Experience with utility distribution systems
• Understanding of medium-voltage electrical systems
• Experience with load flow and short-circuit analysis
• Knowledge of distribution equipment and protection
• Ability to read and develop electrical one-lines and engineering drawings
• Experience with engineering software such as ETAP, CYME, Synergi, EasyPower, or similar
• Strong understanding of electrical power systems and utility engineering practices

Preferred Skills

• Distribution systems 4kV–35kV
• Feeder design and analysis
• Transformer and switchgear sizing
• Distribution protection
• DER/interconnection studies
• Distribution automation
• Overhead and underground distribution
• Utility construction/design standards
• Experience working directly with an electric utility
