Industrial Process Control Systems Engineer

Client:

Our client owns and operates approximately 12.4 GW of power infrastructure in the United States, producing and selling electricity, capacity, and ancillary services into wholesale power markets, primarily in PJM, ERCOT, and WECC regions. Their generation fleet is predominantly located in the Mid-Atlantic, Texas, and Montana. While the majority of their power is generated from zero-carbon nuclear and lower-carbon gas-fired facilities, they are actively reducing the carbon profile of their wholly owned coal fleet through fuel conversions and announced deactivations. Additionally, they are developing a hyperscale data center campus adjacent to their Susquehanna nuclear plant, which will utilize the carbon-free energy that Susquehanna generates.

Focusing on excellence through safe and efficient operations, our client maintains an inclusive, diverse, respectful, and collaborative workplace, with a strong commitment to innovation, teamwork, and integrity. They are headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Our client is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer dedicated to diversity and the strength it brings to the workplace.
