  • Participate in client meetings and technical discussions to understand project needs, address challenges, and deliver effective engineering solutions.

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers, supporting their professional development.

  • Review and quality-check design drawings to ensure technical accuracy, code compliance, and alignment with client standards.

  • Support project execution by helping maintain scope, schedule, and budget alignment throughout the design process.


    • Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience in electrical engineering design, drafting, or related technical roles

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred

  • Strong proficiency with Revit for electrical modeling and design development

  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD or MicroStation

  • Strong understanding of National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements

  • Working knowledge of relevant codes and standards including:

    • NFPA 72, 101, and 110

    • International Building Code (IBC)

    • Energy codes and lighting standards

    • Experience with lighting design tools such as DIALux or AGi32

    • Strong attention to detail with excellent documentation and organizational skills

    • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams and with clients

    • Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future



    • Why this role?

    • Work on projects that directly impact communities and public infrastructure

    • Collaborate with experienced engineers in a multidisciplinary environment

    • Opportunity to mentor younger engineers and influence project outcomes

    • Be part of a firm that values technical quality, practical solutions, and long-term client relationships
