Electrical Engineering Supervisor

Electrical Engineering Supervisor — Power Distribution & Microgrids Denver, CO | Hybrid | $150,000–$185,000 + Short-Term Incentive

The Opportunity

Grid modernization is happening at scale — and this firm is in the middle of it. A Denver-based electric utility solutions company, backed by long-term utility privatization contracts, is looking for an Electrical Engineering Supervisor to lead a team delivering substation, distribution, and advanced microgrid projects (500kW–10MW) from concept through commissioning.

What sets this role apart: no silos. Engineers here work across every phase of a project — design, field execution, operations, and client interface. You'll own real deliverables, build a team, and see your work energized.

What You'll Own

• Lead a team of engineers designing sub-transmission systems, substations, switching stations, and complex distribution systems
• Serve as technical lead and Owner's Engineer — responsible for project deliverables, RFI response, and compliance with client and industry standards
• Drive engineering calculations, design alternatives, protection coordination, and power system modeling (ETAP or equivalent)
• Interface directly with utility clients throughout project execution
• Mentor junior engineers and grow the technical capability of your team

Why This Role

The firm operates one of the most unusual platforms in the industry: an engineering consultancy with direct operational ownership of the systems it designs. That means your work doesn't end at the drawing set — you'll see it run. Engineers here consistently say they develop faster than peers at traditional utilities or consultants.

Denver hybrid schedule, strong work-life balance, and a culture built around employee retention and satisfaction (recognized as a Top Workplace by The Denver Post).

What You Bring

• BSEE from an accredited institution; PE license required
• 8+ years in the electric utility industry with expert-level substation and distribution systems experience
• Demonstrated leadership of engineering teams
• Proficiency in ETAP or comparable power system analysis software
• Strong technical communication and client-facing skills

Requirements

• US citizenship required
• Ability to obtain Military Base Access Security Clearance
• Valid driver's license; 10-20% overnight travel

Compensation

$150,000–$185,000 base + Short-Term Incentive Plan + full benefits (medical, dental, 401k with company match)
