About the Opportunity

HireNow Staffing is actively hiring five seasoned Electrical Engineers who specialize in analytical design for power utility systems. If you're someone who thrives in highly technical environments, is driven by data and diagnostics, and values autonomy in your work this is your opportunity to join a remote-first, engineering-centric firm that prioritizes deep technical rigor and career-long learning.

You won't just be pushing paper or rubber-stamping substation layouts. You'll be solving the real-world challenges of grid stability, power quality, and electrical safety for large-scale utility clients. From advanced grounding analysis to relay protection schemes and dynamic system modeling, your insights will help shape the reliability and resilience of today's power infrastructure.

This is not a role for early-career engineers or generalists it's for those who bring depth, precision, and a strong track record in utility consulting or power systems engineering.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work in one or more of the following specialized areas based on your expertise:

1. Electrical Design & Field Study Engineering

• Conduct in-depth design studies related to:

  • Substation grounding & AC interference

  • EMF assessments & insulation coordination

  • Power quality diagnostics & transient simulations

  • Large motor starting & overvoltage mitigation

• Tools frequently used: CDEGS, WinIGS, ATPEMTP, PSCAD

2. Protection & Controls Engineering

• Analyze short circuits, relay coordination, and arc flash hazards

• Create and validate relay settings across various platforms

• Lead or support SCADA integration and NERC reliability studies

• Tools include ASPEN OneLiner, SEL AcSELerator, CAPE, ETAP, GE Enervista

3. System Planning & Operations Studies

• Perform load flow, contingency analysis, and dynamic system modeling

• Conduct voltage stability and interconnection assessments

• Provide insights into regulatory compliance (e.g., NERC standards)

• Tools: PSS/E, PSLF, PowerWorld, and Python for scripting/modeling automation

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are someone who:

• Has deep consulting or in-house utility engineering experience

• Is comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment

• Possesses excellent documentation and analytical skills

• Communicates clearly with both clients and internal teams

• Brings a mindset of continuous improvement to both process and technical knowledge

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (BSEE)

• Minimum of 5 years direct U.S.-based experience in power systems engineering (utilities, EPC firms, or consulting)

• Fluent in one or more of the core study areas listed above

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future visa sponsorship

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Engineer (P.E. or P.Eng.) license strongly preferred

• Graduate-level coursework or continuing education in:

  • Power systems transients

  • Electromagnetic studies

  • Protective relaying

• Familiarity with multi-client environments or project-based consulting work

Additional Notes

• Red Flags: We are cautious about candidates with multiple short job stints (less than two years) unless explained.

• Work Authorization: No sponsorship available (including TN Visas).

• Location: Must reside and work from within the U.S. (remote work setup is supported)

Why Join?

This is more than just another engineering role it's a technical leadership track where your ability to think critically and deliver actionable results will be recognized. You'll join a team that values your time, autonomy, and expertise, with the stability of long-term utility contracts and the flexibility of full-remote work.

You'll have the freedom to dive deep into your engineering passion while still having the support of a structured, reputable organization. No micromanaging. No cookie-cutter projects. Just high-impact work that matters.
