Lead Project Engineer - Utility Solutions

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a static engineering position. It is a career pathway. You’ll gain broad, hands-on exposure across power generation, distribution, and transmission, end-to-end ownership with real customer impact, a clear path to expand into offers engineering, business development, and project leadership, and the opportunity to become a utility systems expert with unmatched technical and market versatility. If you’re searching for a role where your expertise, influence, and value grow year after year, this is the opportunity.

You’ll make a difference with:

Customer-Facing & Commercial Partnership

Be a trusted technical advisor to customers, utilities, EPC partners, and internal collaborators. You will partner with sales, commercial, and business development teams to shape solution strategies, support negotiations, and influence order decisions. Bridge technical execution with commercial responsibilities to deliver a seamless customer experience with minimal handoffs.

Multi-functional & System Integration Leadership

Lead engineering execution including design coordination, customer approvals, manufacturing support, FAT, installation support, and commissioning. Drive system-level integration across Siemens and third-party technologies, including MV/LV AIS & GIS switchgear, Motor Control Centers (MCCs) and drives, protection, control, and automation (PLCs, SCADA), transformers, E-Houses, batteries, relay and control panels.

Mentorship & Continuous Improvement

Mentor engineers, designers, and drafters to raise technical capability across the team. Influence technical standards, best procedures, and solution architectures as a recognized SME. Lead continuous improvement initiatives that enhance engineering quality, scalability, and efficiency. Optionally take on expanded project management responsibilities covering schedule, cost, and execution.
