Project Engineer - Electric Distribution

$84k - $120k

ENTRUST Solutions Group

Description

We specialize in planning and upgrading electric distribution systems, leveraging decades of experience with power producers, utilities, commercial and industrial facilities, and municipalities. Our expertise spans distribution planning analysis tools, substation and feeder design, voltage control, and grid modernization programs. Our engineering teams coordinate capacity expansion and delivery projects to enhance system reliability, including downtown networks, power lines, and underground planning. We also provide comprehensive inspections and permitting before commissioning. Our ENTRUST geospatial and data analytics support, combined with advanced automation tools, ensures precise reporting and documentation across distribution routes.

As a Project Engineer, you’ll be diving into quality control (QC) for multiple utilities, handling QC design for both pre- and post-construction phases. You’ll apply your technical expertise to ensure our projects meet all specifications, fully understanding the design requirements of the clients in your area. Leading small to medium or multi-discipline projects, you’ll guide Design Engineers and Design Technicians in the preparation of detailed technical design projects. You’ll share insights and experience with the team and engage with the client and other stakeholders to grasp the nuances of design elements.

Reporting to the Project Manager (PM), you’ll communicate any challenges related to scope, cost, schedule, and quality. You’ll also interact independently with clients, estimate proposals, and understand the role of business development in our operations. Assisting the PMs and Team Leads, you’ll evaluate design personnel and assign tasks to the design team. You’ll review vendor drawings, perform independent engineering reviews of simpler projects, and provide feedback to design and design team. Additionally, you’ll offer input on potential process and design improvements. Ensuring adherence to the quality control process, including documentation using the Quality Review Tracking tool, is crucial. You’ll self-check your work before submission, complete tasks with minimal errors, and participate in peer and QC reviews.

In this role, you are enabled to be at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and utilizing tools such as, Microsoft Copilot, bespoke AI workflow tools, and an IT team dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation to enhance our operations and drive efficiency. All employees can engage with the Digital Transformation Team to support the integration of new tools and following employee ideas to drive success for the business.
