Frequently asked questions
Midland's oil & gas sector often involves mature fields requiring innovative upgrades and system modifications, making Electrical Engineer 3 roles uniquely challenging. The complexity lies in integrating new electrical designs with existing infrastructure, differing from greenfield projects common in other regions, demanding strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
In Texas, certifications like the Professional Engineer (PE) license and NACE corrosion certifications are highly valued. Additionally, expertise in NFPA 70E and API electrical standards boosts employability, reflecting the state's rigorous safety and compliance environment within oil and gas electrical engineering.
Proficiency in medium and low voltage distribution systems tailored for oil and gas, knowledge of protective relay settings, and experience with power transient studies are critical. Familiarity with materials selection and control philosophies specific to industrial plants further distinguishes this role from generic electrical engineering positions.
Advancement often includes leading multidisciplinary project teams, engaging in client liaison roles, and progressing towards senior engineering or project management positions. Exposure to cutting-edge decarbonization and renewable integration projects at Sargent & Lundy also broadens career horizons in energy transition sectors.
Sargent & Lundy’s hybrid schedule balances three in-office days with remote work, fostering direct collaboration on complex design tasks while offering flexibility. This approach enhances productivity and supports cross-functional teamwork essential for multifaceted oil and gas electrical projects.
With a strong emphasis on innovation and employee well-being, Sargent & Lundy encourages proactive problem-solving and continuous learning. This culture empowers engineers to take ownership of their projects, collaborate openly, and engage in cutting-edge energy solutions, enriching their professional experience.
Salaries range from approximately $72,690 to $106,250 annually, influenced by experience level, technical expertise in electrical system design, and project responsibilities. Market demand in Midland’s oil & gas sector and the candidate's ability to manage complex engineering challenges also play significant roles.
Midland's desert climate and aging infrastructure present challenges such as equipment durability and retrofitting existing systems. Engineers must adapt designs to local environmental stressors and coordinate closely with field operations, which may be less prevalent in coastal Texas cities with newer installations.
They emphasize expertise in three-phase power transient analysis, medium and low voltage system design, and protective relay coordination. Hands-on experience with equipment specification and vendor interfacing is also critical to ensure compliance with client and industry standards.
Midland has a robust demand for skilled electrical engineers due to ongoing energy projects, but competition remains moderate. Candidates with specialized oil and gas experience and proven abilities in system design and project coordination tend to have an advantage in securing roles.
