Job description

Electrical Engineer

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL
Type: Contract-to-Hire

Compensation: $30–$40/hr (based on experience)

If you enjoy designing real-world electrical systems that actually get built—not just theoretical drawings—this opportunity offers a hands-on role in a collaborative, engineering-driven environment.
This team designs and manufactures custom industrial systems, meaning your work directly impacts how equipment is built, wired, and delivered to customers across a range of industries.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Create detailed electrical design drawings including panel layouts, one-line diagrams, feeder calculations, and panel schedules
  • Develop electrical layouts to support small-scale building and enclosure designs prior to customer release
  • Specify electrical components to meet project and customer requirements
  • Design systems involving switchgear, ATS, distribution panels, transformers, and related components
  • Incorporate fire/smoke alarm systems, lighting, receptacles, and battery systems into designs
  • Ensure all designs meet NEC code requirements
  • Work closely with engineering and production teams to support a design-for-manufacturing approach
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of electrical design experience in industrial, architectural, or construction environments
  • Experience designing systems that include:
    • Switchgear, ATS, UDPs
    • Transformers and distribution systems
    • Lighting, alarms, and building electrical components
  • Strong understanding of NEC code compliance
  • Ability to interpret and develop technical drawings and schematics
  • BSEE preferred, but equivalent hands-on experience will absolutely be considered
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work in an engineer-to-order environment where every project is different
  • High visibility—your designs go straight into production
  • Collaborative culture between engineering, manufacturing, and customers
  • Opportunity to transition into a long-term, direct role
Benefits (Through Sterling Engineering)
  • Paid time off & holidays
  • Multiple medical plan options
  • Dental & vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
