Principal Electrical Designer

The Principal Electrical Designer directly impacts the effectiveness of their team and related team. They exchange ideas and information relating to Electrical Design effectively. The Principal Electrical Designer may work autonomously within established Electrical Design procedures and practices. They act as a lead, coordinating the work of others. The Principal Electrical Designer proposes improvements to processes and methods within the Electrical Design discipline.

Our ingenuity fuels daily life. Together, we’ve forged some of the most trusted partnerships across the energy value chain to make what was once just an idea a reality: laying subsea infrastructure thousands of feet below sea level, installing platforms hundreds of miles from shore, using our expertise to design and build offshore wind infrastructure, and reshaping the onshore landscape to deliver the energy products the world needs safely and sustainably.

For more than 100 years, we've been making the impossible possible. Today, we're driving the energy transition with more than 30,000 of the brightest minds across 54 countries.
