Engineering Lead - Process Equipment

Electrical Engineering Leader Position Overview We're looking for a hands-on, highly skilled electrical engineering leader to take ownership of power systems for our novel titanium and zirconium materials production facilities.

This is a critical technical leadership role where you'll serve as the electrical owner across multiple power-intensive process plants , bridging plant process requirements with real-world industrial electrical infrastructure.

You'll work directly with our process, mechanical, and controls teams to define the plant electrical architecture , integrate process equipment, and carry the design into the field. The role will cover everything from power distribution and equipment selection to vendor coordination, construction support, and startup .

Responsibilities

• Own electrical engineering scope for pilot, demonstration, and commercial-scale materials production facilities.
• Develop and review medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems, including single-line diagrams, load lists, grounding, cable systems, and equipment specifications.
• Select and specify transformers, switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, motors, UPS systems, and other electrical equipment.
• Translate process equipment and utility requirements into electrical design requirements.
• Lead or commission power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, arc flash, protective device coordination, grounding, and power quality.
• Coordinate with utilities, EPC partners, equipment vendors, system integrators, and contractors.
• Review vendor and EPC drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, and electrical design packages.
• Lead electrical scope of construction, commissioning, energization, troubleshooting, and turnover.
• Support electrical safety, LOTO, hazardous-area requirements, and process safety reviews.
• Build the internal electrical engineering function, including standards, vendor specs, and design review practices.

Qualifications

• 5-8+ years of electrical engineering experience in industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, chemical plants, energy systems, mining, metals, semiconductors, oil & gas, or comparable capital-intensive environments.
• Proven success owning electrical scope from front-end engineering through construction, commissioning, or plant startup.
• Strong working knowledge of medium-voltage and low-voltage power distribution, switchgear, MCCs, transformers, VFDs, UPS/backup power, grounding, cable routing, electrical rooms, protection relays, and field installation practices.
• Experience developing or reviewing single-line diagrams, load lists, electrical equipment specifications, electrical layouts, cable schedules, I/O interfaces, and construction packages.
• Familiarity with NEC, NFPA 70E, applicable NFPA/IEEE standards, hazardous-area classification, arc flash analysis, short-circuit studies, protective device coordination, and electrical safety practices.
• Ability to work fluently across process engineering, equipment engineering, controls/automation, construction, operations, maintenance, EHS, and external vendors.
• Strong practical judgment about build vs. buy decisions, vendor capabilities, field constraints, maintainability, and commissioning risk.
• Experience with high-temperature industrial equipment, chemical processing equipment, vacuum systems, furnaces, rectifiers, large motors, compressors, pumps, or high-power thermal systems is a plus.
• Experience with SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, or comparable electrical design/review tools is a plus.
• Degree in electrical engineering or a related technical field is required.
• P.E. and experience as electrical owner's engineer on a major capital project is a strong plus.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage.
• Company 401(k).
• Flexible paid time-off (PTO) policy.
