Idaho Power — located in vibrant Boise, Idaho — is looking for an Engineer I, II, or Senior to join our Power Supply team. It’s an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we’re working hard to safely provide our customers with the safe, reliable, affordable energy they depend on.

While this position is based at Idaho Power’s downtown Boise location, we offer both flexible schedules and the opportunity to work up to 40% remote.

This Engineer will be responsible for engineering and project management for the Power Production Project Management team. The primary focus of this position is executing civil betterment projects at Idaho Power’s hydroelectric plants and dams. This person will work within a team environment, under limited supervision.

Responsibilities include:

• Management of large, multi-year, capital projects including budget management and scheduling
• Engineering and design support for projects managed.
• Construction management at our hydroelectric facilities
• Executing and managing contracts with multiple suppliers including change orders, shipping arrangements, and payments.
• Develop cost estimates
• Permitting and FERC licensing activities
• Use engineering knowledge to develop project technical specifications
• Evaluation and testing for equipment condition and performance
• Manage resources, both Idaho Power internal and contract personnel
• Position will include extended field projects at power plants in our service territory

Operating under general supervision and with oversight, an Engineer I is developing technical expertise in their field. This role plans and leads assignments and projects, interfaces with internal departments and external organizations, and receives guidance from leaders and other engineers as needed.

Operating under limited supervision, an Engineer II has an intermediate level of technical expertise in their field. This role plans and leads moderately complex assignments and projects, interfaces with internal departments and external organizations, and receives high-level guidance from leaders and other engineers as needed.

Operating under minimal supervision and using independent initiative, Senior Engineers have comprehensive technical expertise in their field. This role plans and leads complex assignments and projects, interfaces with internal departments and external organizations, and mentors other engineers and engineering support staff as needed.

In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, an employee incentive plan, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state.
