Job Description

Position Title: Instrumentation/Electrical Engineer

Instrumentation is the gap this engineering team needs filled, and the Instrumentation/Electrical Engineer who fills it will work on projects that range from a 69kV power infrastructure upgrade to an ammunition plant electrical build and a 138kV-to-480V chemical plant power study. The work is brownfield-heavy and engineering-focused. Equipment specs arrive, and the engineer determines how to get the right gear connected, from switchgear installs to outside-battery-limits work.

The role is office-based in Beaumont, Texas, with day trips to see existing equipment and travel that rarely exceeds a week and is unlikely to occur more than once a quarter. Estimating tools and practices are already established, and large projects are on the horizon. The department head supports engineers working toward a PE and expects that milestone within about one to two years for the right person. Some schedule flexibility exists, including the possibility of 4x10s.

Salary Range: $95,680 – $145,600 / Year DOE

Instrumentation/Electrical Engineer Responsibilities

  • Provide instrumentation engineering support across a varied project load, with a strong emphasis on brownfield work
  • Review equipment specifications and determine how to connect the required equipment to existing systems
  • Support switchgear and equipment installations, including outside-battery-limits scopes
  • Contribute to front-end planning for clients, including obtaining quotes and supplying cable lengths, tray lengths, and other measurements
  • Support project estimates using established estimating tools and practices
  • Make day trips to client sites to evaluate existing equipment, returning to the office the same day
  • Work as part of a collaborative engineering team on projects for clients ranging from local government to industrial and defense facilities
  • Work strictly in an engineering capacity, with no construction or field labor

Instrumentation/Electrical Engineer Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering from a four-year program; ABET accreditation is flexible depending on the candidate
  • At least four years of industry experience in electrical and instrumentation engineering
  • Ability to contribute immediately with relevant E&I engineering experience and minimal hand-holding
  • Willingness to work onsite in Beaumont, Texas, with occasional day trips and infrequent travel
  • Professional Engineer license is not required, though it is valued; a mid-career engineer who has passed the FE exam and wants to pursue a PE will be supported toward licensure

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with several medical plan options including an HSA option
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching
  • Generous paid time off structure, with company-observed holidays; PTO is negotiable
  • Employer-paid life insurance, short- and long-term disability, and optional voluntary coverage
  • Support and mentorship toward earning a PE license
  • Fitness reimbursement, FSA, employee assistance program, and no-cost telehealth visits

If you are an E&I engineer with hands-on brownfield and instrumentation experience who wants to grow toward a PE with direct mentorship, apply today.
