Electric Power Engineers has been wiring the grid since 1968. The firm now employs 501-1,000 people across offices in the United States, Canada, Lebanon, and Panama, delivering full-service electrical and energy engineering consulting to utilities, developers, and government entities. Its technical scope spans power systems engineering, system planning, transmission and distribution engineering, grid modernization, and regulatory compliance - the infrastructure layers where a compromised system isn't an abstract risk but a regional blackout or worse.
The company also builds proprietary power systems software to support grid operations. That means internal teams work on the same attack surface they help secure: the operational technology and control systems that keep energy flowing. The threat model here isn't hypothetical - the power sector is a documented target for state-level actors, and the software Electric Power Engineers develops sits in that exact pipeline.
For cybersecurity professionals, the draw is specificity. You're not defending an e-commerce platform; you're working inside the energy ecosystem, where the domain is power systems and the adversaries are sophisticated. The company's consulting model means security work interfaces directly with grid modernization projects, system planning, and the regulatory frameworks that govern critical infrastructure.
