Sr. Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer – Pipeline Operations | Direct Hire

⭐ Preferred locations: Superior, WI or Duluth, MN

✈️ Travel: Approximately 10–15%, primarily within assigned region

🏢 Industry: Energy / Liquids Pipeline

📅 Interviewing: ASAP

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join the Operations Engineering team supporting critical liquids pipeline assets across the United States.

This is a senior-level individual contributor role for an electrical engineer with strong experience in power systems, medium-voltage equipment, substations, protection/relaying, and electrical troubleshooting . The ideal candidate brings hands-on operations, maintenance, field-service, utility, generation, or industrial experience—not solely EPC/consulting design experience.

What You’ll Do

• Provide 24/7/365 technical support for electrical issues impacting pipeline operations
• Support electrical operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and reliability
• Provide technical oversight for electrical project installations
• Support medium-voltage power systems and company-owned substations
• Develop and support electrical specifications, standards, and engineering practices
• Provide expertise in power system modeling, protective relaying, power protection, and substation design
• Troubleshoot complex electrical issues and develop practical technical solutions
• Serve as a subject matter expert and provide technical guidance to field technicians and specialists
• Mentor and coach junior engineers
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams across the U.S. and Canada

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering – required
• Strong background in electrical power systems
• Experience with medium-voltage systems and substations
• Experience with power system modeling and protection/relaying
• Strong electrical operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, or field-service experience
• Experience working through complex or ambiguous technical problems
• Ability to provide technical guidance to field personnel and stakeholders
• Pipeline experience preferred , but candidates from utilities, power generation, or similar industrial environments will be considered
• PE license preferred, but not required

Most systems supported are in the 5kV–66kV range , with some higher utility-supplied voltages.

Important Fit Note

This role is particularly well suited for engineers who have moved beyond purely design-focused work and have experience supporting operational electrical systems in the field .

Candidates with strong power systems expertise but limited pipeline experience may be considered. EPC/consulting-only backgrounds may be less aligned with the operational and troubleshooting focus of this position.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You’ll have the opportunity to serve as a technical SME supporting critical energy infrastructure, work directly with operations and field teams, solve complex electrical problems, and help shape electrical standards and project execution across a large liquids pipeline network.

If you have strong electrical power systems experience and enjoy solving real-world operational challenges, I’d love to connect with you.
