Summary

As a Senior Electrical Engineer on Revamp's High Voltage Substation team, you will serve as a senior contributor and subject-matter expert across the spectrum of substation design, primarily focused on both protection & control (P&C) and physical design. You will take ownership of QA/QC reviews and act as a confident internal and external technical resource — reviewing and redlining design deliverables, cross-checking drawings, mentoring junior engineers, and collaborating with the multi-disciplinary stakeholders in an employee-owned culture where every individual's contributions strengthen project outcomes, increase company success, and meaningfully advance the clean-energy transition.

Mentorship & Collaboration

  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and staff engineers.
  • Collaborate with the cross-discipline departments, including studies, structural, and civil teams, providing design context and cross-checks without needing to lead their work directly.
  • Partner with discipline leads to maintain design standards and consistency.

Field & Additional Duties

  • Perform field visits, with up to ~10% travel required, to validate designs and build practical, constructable knowledge.
  • Perform essential duties, including meeting deliverables and deadlines.

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a similar discipline.

  • Ability to independently apply advanced engineering principles, develop or improve techniques and processes, and review complete project documents for conformity and quality assurance.
  • Experience owning larger or more complex projects, overseeing a small suite of projects, or supporting portfolio-level execution with responsibility for scopes, budgets, schedules, and technical deliverables.
  • Comfort serving as a discipline or team point of contact in client-facing settings, with strong-to-advanced verbal and written communication skills and the judgment to answer technical questions clearly and confidently.

  • Medical, dependent care, and commuter FSA.
  • Monthly health and wellness stipend.
  • Attractive vacation, sick, and holiday pay.
