Advance your engineering career while contributing to innovative power infrastructure projects.

EVS is seeking an Engineering Associate II to join our collaborative team of engineers and designers.

Create and refine basic physical design drawings, working with the drafting team to ensure accuracy and completeness

Perform calculations to support design decisions and develop engineering documents, reports, and Bills of Materials (BOMs)

Apply grading principles (e.g., high-water line, mass grading, stormwater management) with guidance to optimize site layouts

Research and interpret state and local design codes for project compliance

Assist in preparing Basis of Design (BOD) documents and other technical reports

Serve as a resource for junior staff, offering guidance on tools, workflows, and troubleshooting

Collaborate with senior engineers on design challenges and project coordination

Contribute to substation and switchyard layout planning, including equipment placement, spacing requirements, and basic electrical connections

Maintain high accuracy in drawings and calculations, performing quality checks before submission

Understanding of NEC and industry standards

2–4 years of relevant engineering design experience preferred

Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and time management skills

Effective written and verbal communication skills, with a collaborative mindset

Your Growth Path

In your first 3–6 months, you'll focus on mastering EVS design standards, applying feedback, and completing design tasks with increasing independence.
