Senior Electrical Engineer

KGS Group is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our growing practice in Bellevue, WA or Granite Bay, CA.

We are KGS Group, an employee‑owned, multidisciplinary engineering consulting firm serving clients throughout North America. We’re different than traditional engineering firms. We believe a commitment to lasting relationships is just as critical as the expertise applied in our work. To us that means we put our clients and people first. We have the discipline to consistently deliver KGS Quality, never taking the easy way out.

We always look closer and dig deeper. And no matter the project, we care enough to do it right.

As an employee‑owned company, we’re invested in our work and our people. Working with us means you’ll be part of some of the most interesting projects up and down the West Coast. With the extensive, wide‑ranging expertise within our company, you’ll have countless opportunities to learn and grow.

Many of our core clients operate in the hydropower and water management fields. We are growing our U.S. team to continue to provide our industry‑leading services to these clients. As we expand our presence on the west coast, we are looking for strong candidates at all levels to join our team!

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for providing engineering inputs integral to both small and large‑scale hydro projects. You will lead and mentor teams, support management of production and coordinate delivery of engineering inputs often with multidisciplinary project team members and senior stakeholders. Your particular focus will be on continuing the development of our powerhouse and energy capabilities and working with key staff in growing that aspect of the business.

You will lead teams conducting technical work for feasibility studies, engineering designs, preparation of construction drawings and specifications, and carrying out onsite visits for rehabilitation and upgrades to dams, hydroelectric facilities and new hydroelectric developments.

You will participate in design and play a large role in mentoring the team. You will work in a collaborative environment with a great team of engineers and scientists, and you will also interface directly with clients.
