Shell is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join its team in Woodcreek, Houston, TX.

The Senior Power Generation Electrical Engineer reports to the Global Engineering Manager and is part of the central multidisciplinary engineering team supporting SRAMI's global asset base. This role has been established to provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise across electrical systems associated with gas-fired generation, renewable energy assets, substations, switchgear, protection and control systems, grid interconnections, and high-voltage infrastructure.

The successful candidate will provide lifecycle engineering support, technical assurance, and reliability leadership for electrical systems across the portfolio. The role will also support acquisition due diligence, project integration, contractor management, compliance assurance, and strategic improvement initiatives.
