• Develop and review protection, relay, and control system designs to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Design and integrate electrical equipment within mobile power-distribution skids, sleds, or similar packaged power solutions.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable electrical codes, industry standards, safety requirements, and underground mining regulations.
• Prepare, review, and approve engineering drawings, schematics, technical specifications, and supporting documentation.
• Provide technical leadership and engineering guidance throughout project execution, from concept through manufacturing and implementation.
• Mentor and support junior and intermediate engineers through technical coaching, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, engineering, project management, and operations to deliver practical and cost-effective solutions.
• Troubleshoot complex electrical design challenges and provide innovative engineering solutions.
• Evaluate equipment selections and ensure proper integration of electrical components and systems.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to engineering processes, product design, quality, and safety.
• Contribute to technical decision-making and serve as a subject matter expert within the engineering group.
• Foster a positive and collaborative team environment while promoting engineering best practices and professional development.

• 8+ years of progressive Electrical Engineering experience in industrial, manufacturing, mining, or other heavy industrial environments.
• Strong understanding of electrical distribution and medium-voltage systems, (4 kV through 15 kV and up to 25 kV.)
• Experience designing distribution equipment, protection and relay systems, equipment fit within mobile power-distribution sleds, safety provisions, and compliance with regulations for underground-mine environments.
• Proven experience leading electrical engineering and capital projects from concept through commissioning.
• Strong expertise in industrial power distribution systems, electrical infrastructure, and manufacturing facility support.
• Extensive experience with medium-voltage power systems, including substation design, implementation, upgrades, and commissioning.
• Demonstrated knowledge of power system analysis, including short-circuit studies, protection coordination, load flow analysis, and arc flash assessments.
• Experience with protective relaying, switchgear, transformers, electrical equipment specification, and industrial power system design.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical and operational issues within active manufacturing or industrial facilities.
• Experience supporting and optimizing manufacturing operations through continuous improvement and root cause analysis initiatives.
• Exposure to automation, control systems, and systems integration projects within industrial environments.
• Strong understanding of electrical safety programs, standards, codes, and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Demonstrated leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder management capabilities, with the ability to communicate effectively across engineering, operations, maintenance, and executive teams.
• Strong technical judgment and the ability to serve as a subject matter expert for power systems, electrical infrastructure, and manufacturing operations.
• Previous technical leadership or senior engineering experience within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
