Lead Electrical Engineer

Job Overview Precision Systems Engineering (PSE) is a multidisciplinary engineering firm solving some of the toughest challenges in mining, power generation and distribution, petrochemical, food processing, and heavy industrial manufacturing . We deliver end‑to‑end engineering and EPCM solutions —from front‑end design through construction and commissioning—and our engineers stay involved every step of the way. With electrical, mechanical, civil, structural, process, and controls expertise under one roof, collaboration is fast, practical, and focused on real‑world results. PSE stands out with an in‑house, UL 508A‑certified control panel shop , giving our engineers direct insight into how designs are built, tested, and operated in the field. Here, engineers aren't just drafting behind the scenes—you'll lead technical decisions, work directly with clients, and see your designs come to life . Our size offers flexibility and visibility, while our projects deliver the technical depth and impact of much larger firms. If you want challenging industrial projects, real ownership, and a team that values practical engineering and long‑term careers , PSE is where you belong. We are seeking a dynamic and highly skilled Lead Electrical Engineer to spearhead the design, development, and implementation of complex electrical systems across innovative projects. This role offers an exciting opportunity to lead a team of engineers, collaborate on cutting-edge technology solutions, and drive excellence in electrical engineering practices.
