Berkeley, California, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer - Infrastructure Power systems (Owner's Engineer) in the Facilities division to serve as the Lab's Senior technical engineer for its high & medium voltage campus power systems (12kV-115kV). The senior individual contributor role operates at the intersection of technical authority and organizational influence, responsible for both day-to-day system ownership of the Lab's HV/MV infrastructure and serving as the primary engineering interface for capital projects designed by outside consultants and Engineers of Record, including assigned low voltage (100-1000V) capital projects. Acting as the Laboratory's Owner's Engineer, the role carries two core responsibilities. As the system owner for the lab's HV/MV infrastructure, the incumbent maintains ongoing technical authority over campus power system operations, reliability, protection and maintenance support, serving as the internal expert operations staff turn to when the system needs answers. As the primary interface with Engineers of Record and outside consultant, the role oversees capital projects, including low voltage (100-1000V) projects, reviews system studies,protection schemes and design submittals while setting engineering standards and specifications for LV/MV/HV infrastructure. This work requires more than technical depth, it demands the ability to lead through credibility and influence. The incumbent does not manage projects directly but shapes outcomes by building trust with internal partners and external firms, clearly communicating complex technical risk to both engineers and non-technical decision-makers, and driving alignment across multidisciplinary teams with competing priorities, all while maintaining sound engineering judgment. The position also requires hands-on engineering, including but not limited to: performing system studies, developing conceptual and limited-scope designs, preparing technical specifications, and providing technical leadership to support long-term system reliability and performance.
