Job description

As an Electrical Engineering Designer III, you will run the electrical design on your own set of projects, from the first site walk through the last field question. That means building the power system models, running the studies, writing the specifications, and taking the design through code and agency review. You will also review other people’s work: the outside consultants, the other in-house disciplines, and the junior designers you are teaching.

This is the level where you stop being handed a scope and start setting it. You will write the work plans, lead the project meetings, and make the technical calls with minimal supervision across several projects at once. Designers who do that well here move toward Senior Electrical Engineer or a discipline lead role. Progressive Companies is employee owned (ESOP), so you hold a stake in the work you deliver.

Make an Impact

  1. Lead the electrical design on your assigned projects, concept through construction.  Produce the contract documents, construction documents, and technical specifications in Revit and AutoCAD to the firm’s Performance Based Design standards
  2. Own the power system analysis behind your designs. Run load flow, harmonic, and protective device coordination studies across building types, and build the power system models from your own field investigation and site data, so the calculations hold up when the system is energized.
  3. Write the work plan and schedule for each project, then hold the dates. Account for permitting and agency review timeframes up front, and deliver on client milestones on or ahead of date.
  4. Take medium-to-high complexity systems through code and agency review. Lead the compliance review against NEC, IEC, and local amendments, and close out client and governing agency comments.
  5. Coordinate your projects across the in-house disciplines and outside consultants. Organize and lead the project team meetings, verify consultant work against your design, and catch coordination conflicts before documents go out. 
  6. Run construction administration on your projects with minimal supervision. Answer RFIs, review shop drawing submittals, and issue clarifications, and make the field visits needed to confirm what gets built matches the design intent.
  7. Backstop quality before documents leave the office. Review calculations, specifications, and junior staff drawings on projects, flag each inconsistency with a fix rather than a question, and bring what you find back to Lessons Learned.
  8. Bring junior designers up to speed on live project work. Give them the technical training, drawing reviews, and day-to-day guidance that gets them to independent design work.
