Currently, we have a remote opportunity for Electric Distribution Design Engineering Manager for electric utility distribution design engineering in Seattle, Washington.

Your team of approximately ten engineering professionals is eagerly awaiting your expertise and guidance. Your client is a major electric utility serving more than 460,000 customers. Your job is to work directly with the client to make sure your staff is serving their ever-evolving distribution engineering needs.

Leidos is trusted and future-focused solutions provider. This engineering manager role is within the distribution design engineering arm of Leidos’ Power Delivery Solutions (PDS) group. Utilities consistently come to PDS for reliable power expertise, as reflected through our work with more than 50 investor-owned utilities and more than 160 municipals/cooperatives across the country as well as a growing number of local utility providers and private developers. Our project portfolio includes large energy projects for electric utilities, power generation owners, and industrial clients.

Up to 25% of your staff’s time can be out in the field surveying distribution infrastructure, and they will need your direct training and support while they are there. The rest of your time will be focused on your team’s performance, the quality of your team’s designs, and meeting the changing needs of the client.
