Position Overview

This is an opportunity for an Electrical Engineer who wants more than production work and repetitive design cycles. In this role, you will lead the design and execution of sophisticated electrical systems across major K-12 and higher education projects—helping shape the environments where future generations learn, collaborate, and grow. You’ll serve as both a technical authority and a trusted client-facing advisor, balancing engineering excellence with project leadership and mentorship.

The firm offers the structure and resources of an established MEP powerhouse while maintaining the collaborative feel of a highly connected engineering studio. Engineers are given real autonomy, direct client exposure, and the opportunity to contribute beyond pure design work. From mentoring junior staff to participating in industry events and strategic growth initiatives, this role is designed for engineers who want long-term influence—not just another production seat.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead the design and coordination of electrical building systems, including power distribution, emergency power, lighting controls, fire alarm systems, and integrated technology infrastructure
• Perform and oversee engineering calculations, system layouts, and construction documentation using Revit and AutoCAD
• Manage multiple MEP projects simultaneously, maintaining accountability for schedules, budgets, technical quality, and client expectations
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to EITs, designers, and junior engineering staff
• Review shop drawings, RFIs, submittals, and final contract documents to ensure compliance with applicable codes and project requirements
• Coordinate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing (MEP), architectural, and structural teams to ensure integrated project delivery
• Participate in client meetings, presentations, and industry events, acting as a trusted advisor and representative of the firm
• Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction-phase support to verify existing conditions and ensure design intent is maintained during construction
• Support QA/QC initiatives and contribute to ongoing improvements in engineering standards and project delivery workflows

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution
• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred; EIT candidates with a strong path toward licensure will also be considered
• Experience: Proven experience managing MEP projects independently within a consulting engineering environment
• Software: Advanced proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and applicable electrical engineering analysis software
• Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge of power distribution, lighting systems, fire alarm systems, and building systems coordination
• Communication: Ability to lead client interactions and communicate technical concepts clearly across multidisciplinary teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Extensive experience within K-12 or higher education project environments
• Experience serving as Engineer of Record and sealing contract documents
• Prior involvement in client-facing business development or industry networking initiatives
• Understanding of project financials, scheduling, and operational coordination within an engineering firm
