Venture Global LNG (“Venture Global”) is a long-term, low-cost provider of American-produced liquefied natural gas. The company’s two Louisiana-based export projects service the global demand for North American natural gas and support the long-term development of clean and reliable North American energy supplies. Using reliable, proven technology in an innovative plant design configuration, Venture Global’s modular, mid-scale plant design will replace traditional designs as it allows for the same efficiency and operational reliability at significantly lower capital cost.

We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Electrical Engineer to join our team in the Houston Office. This role will be instrumental in developing detailed electrical designs for Venture Global’s cutting-edge energy projects. The Principal Electrical Engineer will report directly to the Electrical Engineering Manager and work collaboratively with engineers and designers to deliver high-quality solutions for High Voltage (HV), Medium Voltage (MV), Low Voltage (LV), and Protection Systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in electrical engineering, providing technical leadership in HV, MV, and LV systems, motors, transformers, switchgear, protection schemes, and power system analysis.
  • Lead electrical engineering and design efforts, ensuring quality, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to project schedules.
  • Oversee the integrity and technical execution of electrical engineering work in compliance with industry standards, guidelines, and codes (IEEE, NEC, API, etc.).
  • Ensure all designs prioritize safety, reliability, and efficiency in compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate electrical systems with broader engineering functions.
  • Provide technical support to Maintenance & Operations teams to maintain plant equipment operability.
  • Utilize electrical engineering software such as ETAP, PSCAD, SPL, and CDEGS for design, analysis, and validation.
  • Develop electrical distribution systems, specify equipment, configure power systems, and manage interfaces.
  • Perform and review power system studies, protective relay settings, and grounding designs.
  • Act as a mentor and technical resource for junior engineers and designers.

Qualifications & Experience:

Education & Certifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Master’s preferred), preferably with a focus on Power Systems.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) License preferred.

Experience:

  • 15+ years of experience in electrical engineering within an industrial setting (engineering or operations).
  • Oil & Gas industry experience is required, with a preference for LNG applications. Experience in petrochemical, NGL, cryogenic natural gas processing, or other hydrocarbon processing may be considered.

Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency in MS Office Suite and electrical engineering software (ETAP, PSCAD, SPL, CDEGS).
  • Strong understanding of electrical distribution systems, equipment selection, protective relays, and power system configuration.
  • Experience conducting power system studies, protective device settings, and grounding designs.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
