Original job description

What This Role Delivers

At OPPD, we power the communities we serve by providing safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy. As one of the nation's largest public power utilities, we continuously invest in infrastructure, technology, and innovation to ensure long-term energy reliability for our customers.

As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for major capital projects and strategic generation fleet modernization initiatives. This role serves as a senior engineering resource responsible for solving complex technical challenges, leading critical infrastructure investments, and driving engineering excellence across OPPD's generation facilities.

You will lead complex electrical design efforts from concept through implementation, providing advanced expertise in power systems, instrumentation, controls, and automation technologies. In addition to owning the technical design, calculations, specifications, and engineering deliverables for major projects, you will oversee project execution activities including cost estimating, budget development, schedule management, procurement strategy, construction oversight, and risk mitigation. Future projects will include large-scale modernization of Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and other critical generation control and electrical systems.

This role also serves as a mentor and technical authority within the organization, helping establish engineering standards, guide technical decision-making, and develop engineering talent across the Design Engineering team.

What This Role Will Lead & Own

Lead electrical design development for major and complex capital projects, providing technical ownership of engineering evaluations, calculations, specifications, drawings, installation packages, testing strategies, and commissioning activities.
Serve as the lead engineer and technical authority for generation modernization projects involving electrical systems, plant controls, DCS platforms, PLC systems, and related infrastructure.
Direct project planning and execution activities, including cost estimation, budget development, business case preparation, schedule oversight, resource coordination, and risk management.
Lead cross-functional teams and provide technical guidance to engineers, project managers, operations personnel, contractors, and external partners.
Drive technical decision-making for complex engineering challenges and develop long-term solutions that improve reliability, maintainability, and operational performance.
Oversee procurement strategies, vendor evaluations, equipment selection, and technical review of supplier deliverables.
Provide senior-level construction management oversight, including contract administration, contractor performance management, field issue resolution, and executive-level project reporting.
Champion engineering standards, continuous improvement initiatives, and best practices that advance organizational technical capability.
Identify, assess, and mitigate technical, operational, safety, and project risks throughout the project lifecycle.
Mentor engineers across multiple experience levels and contribute to the development of future technical leaders within the organization.

What You Will Bring

Demonstrated ability to successfully complete essential duties with or without reasonable accommodation.
Registration as a Professional Engineer in the State of Nebraska or ability to obtain Nebraska registration within 6 months through reciprocity and relevant experience.

What Will Help You Stand Out

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.
Eight (8) or more years of engineering experience in power generation, industrial facilities, utilities, manufacturing, or other complex infrastructure environments.
Demonstrated experience leading major capital projects, multidisciplinary engineering efforts, or large-scale infrastructure upgrades.
Strong expertise in electrical power systems, industrial controls, instrumentation, automation, DCS, and PLC technologies.
Experience developing engineering calculations, technical specifications, construction packages, and commissioning plans.
Proven experience managing project budgets, schedules, business cases, and technical risk.
Ability to lead technical teams and influence decisions across multiple stakeholder groups.
Experience leading major DCS migration, PLC modernization, or plant control system replacement projects.
Experience in utility generation, fossil generation, renewable generation, or other large industrial facilities.

Field: Work will be performed outside in a wide variety of weather conditions (snow, rain, heat, cold, wind, etc.), terrain, and other natural environmental hazards as well as pollen and other airborne allergens.
Generation Plant: Work will be performed inside with exposure to industrial building conditions and may include extreme temperatures, odors, dust, gases, poor ventilation, and loud noise levels.
Travel: Must be able to travel throughout the service territory and report to various locations in a timely manner as needed.

Work Environment

Work will be performed in high traffic environments.
Will work around energized high voltage electrical equipment.
Will work in construction areas that present many physical hazards.
Will work at heights.
Will work in closed or confined spaces.
Will work around asbestos and lead.

Our Culture & Mission

At Omaha Public Power District, everything starts with people - our teams, our communities, and the customer owners who count on us. As the 12th largest public power utility in the U.S., we serve more than 900,000 people across 13 counties, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We lead with integrity, support one another, and do what's right, because how we serve matters just as much as what we deliver. Our goal is simple: provide affordable, reliable, and environmentally responsible energy today and for generations to come.

We create power with purpose. Your work here has real impact; on families, on the environment, and on the future of energy. And we believe great ideas can come from anywhere.

If you want to be part of a team that takes care of the community and the people who serve it, you're in the right place. We back up our mission by taking care of our employees, too; which is why our benefits are among the most comprehensive and competitive in the region.
