• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on facility performance and operational efficiency.

• Support facility and real property activities in accordance with applicable requirements.
• Provide technical input for facility projects involving permitting, easements, rights-of-way, leases, and related property considerations as required.
• Maintain appropriate engineering and facility documentation supporting project and regulatory requirements.

• Substantive experience working with electrical systems within commercial, industrial, manufacturing, or other large-scale facilities.
• Strong understanding of overall building electrical requirements and the ability to support appropriate system design and implementation.
• Experience with building-level electrical infrastructure rather than solely product, electronics, or component-level electrical design.
• Experience conducting or supporting facility inspections, engineering assessments, troubleshooting, infrastructure evaluations, or risk assessments.
• Ability to review electrical engineering drawings, specifications, reports, and contractor deliverables.
• Experience working with electrical contractors, engineering vendors, and multidisciplinary project teams.
• Strong technical judgment and practical problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate technical information effectively in a client-facing environment.
• Ability to collaborate with mechanical, facilities, and other engineering disciplines.
• U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder required.
• Ability to travel to client locations as required.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering preferred; another engineering or relevant technical degree will also be considered.
• Candidates without a degree may be considered based on substantial relevant electrical facilities experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
• EIT certification is also valued depending on overall experience.
• Experience supporting industrial, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, government, or similarly complex facilities.
• Experience determining or reviewing building electrical requirements and supporting facility electrical system design.
• Experience overseeing electrical contractors or serving as an owner's representative.
• Experience with facility modernization, capital improvement, electrical infrastructure assessment, or lifecycle-management programs.
• Prior COR or similar contractor-oversight experience is a plus.

The ideal candidate is an experienced electrical facilities professional who can walk into a complex building or industrial environment, understand its electrical infrastructure and overall electrical requirements, identify problems or risks, and help determine the appropriate engineering solution.

We are interested in practical building and facilities expertise rather than a specific job title. Relevant backgrounds may include Electrical Facilities Engineer, Facilities Electrical Engineer, Facilities Engineer, Plant Engineer, Building Electrical Engineer, or Electrical Infrastructure Engineer.

This position requires more than electrical design expertise. The successful candidate will be comfortable evaluating facilities in the field, working with contractors, collaborating with mechanical and other engineering disciplines, and communicating recommendations directly to clients.

This individual will serve as an electrical facilities subject matter resource, helping evaluate overall building electrical requirements, assess existing infrastructure, identify risks and deficiencies, and support the proper design and implementation of facility electrical systems.

The position combines electrical facilities expertise with client engagement, facility assessments, contractor oversight, technical problem solving, and project coordination. This is not solely a desk-based electrical design position. The Electrical Facilities Engineer will work directly with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams and will collaborate closely with other Facilities Engineers.

Candidates with substantial relevant facilities electrical experience will be considered in lieu of an engineering degree. An Electrical Engineering degree and PE license are preferred but are not required.

Auburn Hills, Michigan is the preferred work location, and candidates able to work onsite will receive priority consideration.

This is an initial 12-month contract position with the opportunity to convert to direct hire. Must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder.
