We bring creativity, technical excellence, and practicality to every project, ensuring our engineering solutions not only work but also make life a little easier for everyone.

We’re currently looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer  to join our team in our Pittsburgh office.

• Lead the design and development of electrical power distribution and process control systems for municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities.
• Design and specify systems related to pumps, blowers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), SCADA systems, and process control instrumentation.
• Develop detailed electrical engineering designs, construction documents, and technical specifications for water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
• Conduct field investigations to evaluate existing conditions and gather critical information related to proposed system upgrades and improvements.
• Assist clients with troubleshooting electrical and operational issues within existing treatment and pumping systems.
• Provide startup, commissioning, and operational support for newly installed electrical and control systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop efficient, reliable, and maintainable solutions for complex infrastructure projects.
• Coordinate with clients, contractors, vendors, and internal project teams to ensure projects move forward smoothly and successfully.
• Apply sound engineering judgment to solve technical challenges and support critical infrastructure systems that communities depend on every day.

What You'll Need:

• 5+ years of experience in the detailed design of electrical power distribution and process control systems for municipal and/or industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities.
• Professional Engineering Designation (P.E.)
• Hands-on experience with pumps, blowers, VFDs, SCADA systems, and process control instrumentation.
• Ability to work both in the office and in the field, whether that means investigating existing systems, troubleshooting operational issues, or supporting system startups.
• Ability to balance technical precision with practical, real-world application.

Why KLH?

• We’ll give you the space to do what you do best—be an Engineer.
• We’re big enough to tackle complex, high-impact projects in-house, but small enough that your ideas won’t get lost in the shuffle.
• You’ll work alongside a smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive team.
• We offer a flexible work schedule and the ability to work from home when necessary.
• We believe in investing in our people through mentorship, continued learning, and opportunities for growth.
