Moving to Seattle, any consensus on the job market for entry- to mid-level substation and power delivery?

Hello!

Asking this question on behalf of my partner. We are relocating to Seattle in August for me to pursue my PhD. He has been wanting to switch jobs for quite some time. He's been working at a major global consulting firm as an electrical engineering assistant (FE, no PE yet) with 3 years of experience in transmission, distribution, and substation utility projects. I was curious about the current market for his concentration of EE as it seems Seattle is primarily a tech/CS/software engineering hub (at least from what I understand).

Since he falls between early career and licensed engineer, I was wondering if anyone has some information on how in-demand his specialization is. I appreciate any input as we're just trying to gauge what that market is like! Thank you!
