Electrical Engineer

Why Nexus

You’ll own a piece of what you build. Nexus is employee-owned through our ESOP, so the value you help create comes back to you — not just outside shareholders. We invest in our engineers and give them real, technically meaningful work.

What you can expect:

Employee ownership (ESOP) — build equity in the firm as it grows

Real design ownership — power and electrical distribution, one-line drawings, load studies, and power equipment selection across industrial and power delivery projects

Mentorship from senior engineers who review your work and help you grow toward professional licensure

Full-service EPCm exposure, from concept through startup, across a diverse client base

Career paths that grow with you — toward senior engineer, technical leadership, or discipline management

Flexible work arrangements where business needs allow

What You’ll Do

Gather and analyze technical data to prepare basic electrical engineering designs for client projects.
Develop power and electrical distribution designs, including electrical one-line drawings.
Perform electrical load studies and the supporting engineering calculations.
Prepare power equipment lists and support selection of transformers, switchgear, motors, UPS, and related equipment.
Develop area classification documentation and other electrical drawings, including lighting and heat-tracing (HT) designs.
Apply industry, client, utility, and company standards to your engineering work products.
Submit completed technical work to senior engineering staff for review and approval before it is presented to the client.
Visit client facilities to collect field data and support design development — including walking sites, standing, climbing ladders, and lifting as the work requires.

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• 1+ year of experience in power distribution, utility coordination, or control system calculations and design.
• Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals and design principles, including power and electrical distribution.
