Powell Industries

Job Description

We're thrilled to announce that Powell Industries is opening a new engineering office at the Beltway Lakes II Business Park, located at 5875 North Sam Houston Parkway West, near the Tomball Parkway!

About Powell Industries

Since 1947, Powell Industries has been a trusted Houston-based innovator in custom-engineered electrical power distribution and control systems. We design and manufacture ANSI metal-clad and metal-enclosed switchgear, integrated power control rooms, bus systems, and advanced automation solutions that power critical infrastructure for oil & gas, petrochemical, utilities, data centers, and more. With a global footprint and a commitment to "Powered By Safety™," Powell offers a collaborative, family-like culture where employees drive innovation and enjoy long-term career growth.

Senior Switchgear Engineer Role Overview

As a Senior Switchgear Engineer, you'll lead the design, analysis, and delivery of complex medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) switchgear solutions for high-profile industrial projects. You'll mentor junior engineers, ensure compliance with IEEE/ANSI standards, and contribute to Powell's reputation for reliable, custom-engineered power systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead detailed design and engineering of custom ANSI metal-clad switchgear, arc-resistant gear, and integrated power distribution systems.
  • Perform power system studies, protective relaying coordination, arc flash analysis, and short-circuit calculations using tools like ETAP or SKM.
  • Develop technical specifications, schematics, and bill of materials for customer projects.
  • Collaborate with project management, manufacturing, and field service teams to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery.
  • Provide technical leadership on bids, customer presentations, and value-engineering opportunities.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers on best practices in switchgear design and industry standards.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives in design processes and product innovation.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering (or related field).
  • 10+ years of experience in switchgear design, preferably with MV/LV metal-clad/metal-enclosed systems.
  • Strong knowledge of IEEE, ANSI, IEC standards, and NEC requirements.
  • Proficiency in design software (AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, or similar) and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • PE license preferred; EIT certification a plus.
  • Excellent communication skills for customer and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Ability to travel occasionally for site visits or customer meetings (domestic/international).
What Powell Offers
  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
  • Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and paid time off.
  • Professional development opportunities and tuition reimbursement.
  • A supportive, family-oriented culture with opportunities for advancement.
  • The chance to work on impactful projects that power essential industries.
