You’ll bring:



  • A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (power emphasis preferred)

  • EIT certification or progress toward professional licensure

  • Around 3–5 years of experience in electrical distribution design

  • Strong knowledge of three-phase power systems

  • Experience using AutoCAD and/or MicroStation

  • Confidence working with Microsoft Office and engineering documentation

  • Clear communication skills and an organized, detail-oriented approach
