Praetorian Power Protection, the leader in NETA testing and staff augmentation to the mission-critical industry, is searching for a strong Commissioning Engineer with electrical experience for our data center site in Reno, NV. This role is critical to ensuring the successful commissioning of electrical systems for our projects. If you have a strong electrical commissioning background and thrive in fast-paced environments, we want you to help us drive excellence.
In this position you will:
Ensure that mission-critical electrical systems are installed, tested, and functioning according to the design intent. This role spans the entire project lifecycle—from design review and factory testing to final integrated systems testing (IST) and facility handover.
Key Responsibilities
Testing & Validation: Execute Level 1–5 commissioning for critical systems, including UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies), MV/LV Switchgear, Generators, ATS/STS, and PDUs.
Documentation: Develop and review commissioning plans, Functional Performance Tests (FPT), and Integrated System Testing (IST) scripts.
Technical Troubleshooting: Identify, document, and resolve complex electrical faults and design discrepancies during the startup phase.
Design Review: Analyze one-line diagrams, schematics, and submittals to ensure compliance with owner project requirements (OPR).
Safety Leadership: Enforce strict adherence to NFPA 70E and LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures on-site.
Client Coordination: Act as a technical liaison between owners, contractors, and vendors to ensure project milestones are met safely.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent military training (e.g., Navy Nuclear program).
Experience: 5–10 years of commissioning experience, with a heavy preference for Data Centers, Semiconductor Fabs, or similar high-reliability industrial facilities.
Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with NETA testing standards and ASHRAE commissioning guidelines.
Digital Proficiency: Experience with commissioning software (e.g., CxAlloy, Bluebeam, Procore) and power monitoring systems (EPMS/SCADA).

Electrical Engineer Jobs in Nevada: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Nevada?
You become a licensed electrical engineer in Nevada by earning a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from an accredited program, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating the required years of progressive engineering experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is issued through the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, and many Nevada employers in defense and utilities require a Professional Engineer license for senior-level roles.
How much do electrical engineers make in Nevada?
Electrical engineers in Nevada earn a median of about $107,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,000 for the lowest 10% to over $167,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Nevada?
Companies currently hiring electrical engineers in Nevada include Redwood Materials, Lithion Battery, and Solidus Resources, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Nevada's defense installations, NV Energy's utility infrastructure, and the state's rapidly expanding data center and commercial construction sectors generate especially consistent engineering demand across the Las Vegas and Reno metro areas.
Which Nevada cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Reno, Henderson, and Las Vegas have the most electrical engineer openings in Nevada. Las Vegas dominates because of its scale of commercial construction, utility operations, and proximity to federal defense contractors, while Reno's growth as a regional technology and logistics hub has made it a secondary but increasingly active market for controls and systems engineers.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Nevada?
Yes, but they're rare. About 23% of electrical engineer openings tied to Nevada are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on, site-dependent nature of most electrical engineering work in power, construction, and defense environments. The roles most likely to offer remote flexibility are those in systems design review, CAD drafting coordination, or project engineering documentation rather than fieldwork or commissioning.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Nevada with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to internship and new-graduate programs at Nevada's large utility and defense employers, particularly NV Energy and the federal contractors operating at the Nevada National Security Site near Las Vegas. Candidates who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and completed relevant coursework in power systems or controls hold a clear edge. Entry-level roles in construction inspection, electrical drafting support, and project engineering coordination also provide a practical transition into full engineering positions without requiring years of independent design experience.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Nevada?
You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Nevada on Migrate Mate, which lists current Nevada openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and specialty, and apply directly to the positions that fit your background.
