About the position

AECOM is seeking an Electrical Engineer Lead to support our expanding offshore wind business within the Energy Business Line. This role is pivotal as AECOM leverages its extensive technical capabilities and global presence to lead in the offshore wind sector. The successful candidate will have the flexibility to work remotely or from various Energy offices across the United States, reflecting AECOM's commitment to a hybrid work model. In this position, you will be responsible for a wide range of electrical engineering services, including but not limited to transmission and distribution systems, power distribution, and renewable energy projects. Your expertise will be crucial in promoting AECOM's capabilities to new clients while maintaining relationships with existing ones. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in electrical power engineering, particularly in high voltage (AC and DC) transmission systems, and will have demonstrated project leadership experience. As an experienced engineer, you will be expected to work independently, make informed decisions, and provide mentorship to junior engineers within the Power engineering group. Your role will encompass the electrical engineering design work on assigned projects, collaboration with senior engineers on strategic approaches to offshore wind, and the generation of engineering deliverables that support all phases of project development, from feasibility to detail design. You will also be involved in developing construction specifications and supporting projects during construction, start-up, and commissioning phases. This position requires occasional travel to client and project sites, and you will serve as the Engineer of Record on various projects, ensuring quality control and providing specialized technical input to studies and designs. Your contributions will be vital in advancing AECOM's mission to deliver sustainable energy solutions and create a positive impact in the communities we serve.
